Trying to enter an expense from a mileage tracking app into Quickbooks Pro 2017

In an outdated QuickBooks version like Pro 2017, you can manually enter a check or a journal entry (JE) to record the overall accumulated mileage expense for a year, thisisbull. I'm here to walk you through the steps.

Generating a check through the Write Checks feature works as recording an expense transaction in QuickBooks. If you want to input the total mileage costs using this function, follow these steps:

1. Open your QuickBooks company.
2. Go to the Banking menu, then Write Checks.
3. Select the appropriate Bank Account.
4. From the Expenses tab, pick or Add an Account designated for mileage expenses or transactions.
5. Enter the Amount and complete the rest of the form.
6. Once done, hit Save & Close.
   

However, if you don't want to process a check to account for the expense, you can create a JE to input this data in QuickBooks. Please know that using this method could affect your records and accounts. To ensure proper tracking of the amounts, I recommend seeking assistance from an accounting professional.

It's also advisable to reconcile your accounts regularly to detect potential discrepancies. This way, you can frequently compare the accuracy of your QuickBooks entries with your bank or credit card statement.
