When categorizing an expense from the banking function, can I change the "expense date" without changing the payement date?

 

Meaning that the expense should be the date of the invoice, and the payment date should be the date at which the invoice was paid. When using the banking function in Quickbooks Online, it automatically gives you the payment date, but seems like we can change the "expense date" which should be the date of the invoice.

The invoice you are asking about is your vendors invoice to you his customer, it is your bill

 

enter the bill with the date of the expense, then pay the bill, then download banking and match

    Thank you Rustler for your quick answer. Much appreciated.

     

    Seems like you are right, and there is no faster way to do so... I guess I was hoping for something that does not exist yet in Quickbooks. It would have been possible if Quickbooks allowed to change separately the invoice date and the payment date within the "banking function". It would greatly streamline invoice processing process on an accrual basis.
