How do I add a Cash Expense?

Hello jessica-alfie,

Managing your expenses in QuickBooks Online is easy and I'm happy to go through the steps with you to make sure you're recording your cash expense as needed. Take a look at the steps below.

1. Select the +New icon.
2. Choose Expense.
3. Choose the appropriate Payment account.
4. From the Payment method drop-down menu, choose Cash.
5. Fill out the other details as needed.
6. Click Save or Save and close.

Pretty simple, right? Which payment method you choose will help QuickBooks with understanding how you'd like to account for the transaction. Here's an article that goes over more about entering and creating expense in QuickBooks Online: Enter, edit, or delete expenses in QuickBooks Online

I hope that helps! I'm here if you have further questions. :)
