Can you input invoices and expenses without it being attached to payments? I need it for bookkeeping purposes only to show they exist.

It's great to have you here in this forum, byrdreporting. I can provide insights to help you utilize sales and expense transactions without being attached to payments.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can create Sales Receipts for transactions recorded at the immediate time of sale. Then, use a Check or Expense transaction to enter your expenditures. This way, you won't be required to process payments in the future.

Here's how to create Sales Receipts:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Go to + New and select Sales Receipt.
3. From the Customer ▼ dropdown, select a customer.
4. Fill in the necessary information.
5. Once done, click Save and Close.

 Then, for Checks or Expense:

1. Go to the +New icon.
2. Select Expense or Check under Vendors.
3. Fill in the necessary information.
4. Click on Save and Close.

However, if you have expenses that you plan to pay in the future, you should enter them as Bills. Afterward, utilize Pay Bills to log their corresponding payments. You can learn more about tracking bills and recording payments from this material: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.
