Will someone please let me know how to do this?  I cannot find the report anywhere and I cannot manually create one using the P&L report like I used to with Quickbooks desktop.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hey there. I've got some steps to run a specific report in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To run a report containing expense transactions, you'll have to pull up a report named Transaction Detail by Account. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu located at the left navigation panel.
  2. In the search bar, type Transaction Detail by Account
  3. Click the Switch to classic view
  4. Hit the Customize button.
  5. Fill out the field named Report periodAccounting method, and Number format.
  6. Under the Filter dropdown, tick the Transaction Type
  7. Beside the Transaction Type, search for Expense and click it. 
  8. Press Run report
