How do I change a check to an expense in QuickBooks Online?

I’ve got you covered, Kelley75002.

Changing your transaction from Check to Expenses directly isn’t possible. In this, you’ll need to delete your check and create an expense transaction using the same detail. Before doing so, please take note of the details entered into that check so you have the same information to copy.

Here’s how you can delete a check:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and navigate to the Expenses tab.
2. Look for the Check you created.
3. Click the dropdown under the Action column and select Delete.
   

From there, you can also create an Expense transaction by following the steps below:

1. In the Expenses window, tap the New Transaction button and select Expense.
2. Select the vendor in the Payee dropdown.
3. Enter the Payment Date and Payment method.
4. Add the necessary details needed to complete the transaction.
5. Then, click Save and close.
   

Get a glimpse of access to each vendor's records, and edit and view the status of their transaction by referring to this article: View vendor transactions.

Let me know if you have more questions about checks and expenses. I'm always here to help. Have a good one!

Thank you for your response, Rose.

I wanted to avoid those steps and make a quick correction.

I was hoping QBO had provided a way for users to make the change/edit to items historically marked as checks that are actually expenses using a debit card.

I appreciate your time!
