Question

Hi

 

Occasionally quickbooks self employed seems to auto catogorise a snapp receipt from one of my suppliers as 'cost of goods for resale' when in fact they are 'other business expense'

 

Is there some way I can have ALL my purchases defer to 'other business expense'?

 

and one more question I want ALL my driving to be categorised as 'business' how do I do this without having to manually change each trip?

 

many thanks

 

Tim

I'll help you get these receipts categorized with ease., @Timlazisa.

 

When you snap a photo of your receipt, QuickBooks scans it and enters the details for you. If you need to make some changes, you can look for the receipt in the Unreviewed tab and categorize it.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Transactions menu.
  2. Select the Unreviewed tab and look for the receipt.
  3. Choose the receipt and categorize it to "Other Business Expense. Correct any details and select Save.

 

You can also create rules to speed up reviews in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

With regards to tracking mileage, automatically categorizing your trips to 'business' would be helpful. It would save time as you won't need to change them one by one. For now, we'll have to do the process manually. For more info, check out this article: Automatically track mileage.

You're more than welcome to reply in this thread again if you need any other help with categorizing your transactions. I'll be here to assist you. Have a good one.
