How can create purchase catagary

Hi there, Mohammed. You can create a purchase category using your Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click New Account and enter your preferred account name.
  3. Select an Account Type, such as Expenses.
  4. Choose the appropriate Detail Type.
  5. Indicate that it is a purchase category in the Description box.
  6. Once done, hit Save.
