I will make sure that it gets sorted out, @Abdul Rehman.


Let me share my insights on why your expenses are not showing. There are some reasons for a transaction not to appear on the expenses page.  When you create the expenses, the account tied to the transaction must be an expense account.

 

To check this, you can try running the Transaction Detail By Account Report. Follow the steps below:


1. Go to the Reports tab.
2. Search for the Transaction Detail By Account in the search bar.
3. Select the date of the expenses.
4. Under the Rows/Column choose, the Group by drop-down button.
5. Under the Accounting method column, select Cash or Accrual.
5. Hit Run report.

Hi Mary,

 

All accounts are of "Expense" type and all transactions are appearing on the "Transaction Detail by Account" report. But why not on the Expenses main page and on the Dashboard (Expense Box). 

 

Please guide.

Hello, @Abdul Rehman.

 

It's possible you've used a Journal Entry in recording your previous expense transactions. You can enter a bill, a check or an expense transaction to record an expense in QuickBooks. Let me guide you on how it works.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Plus Icon.
  2. Choose either Expense, Cheque or Bill.
  3. Choose the name of the vendor from the Payee field.
  4. Enter the expense details.
  5. Click Save and Close.
