Look no further, @oldequakercrafte. I have all the detailed steps in adding expenses.
Here's how:
Click the New (+) icon to bring up the transaction menu page. Under the category for Vendors, select Expense.
You will now see the Expense Window. Select a Payee for the expense. If it’s a new payee, you can enter their name in the field and click Add.
Next step is to choose the account the money for this expense came from.
Next, enter the Payment date.
After entering the date, enter the Payment method for this expense.
Choose a category for this expense. Under Category, choose the account category from the chart of accounts. If it’s a new category of expense, you can always type in the name of the category in the Account field and click Add new.
To be more detailed with your purchase, you can add more information in the Description.
You can also add notes in the Memo field for additional information. If you need to add more details regarding the expense.
Enter the amount of the expense in the Amount field.
Once you entered all the needed information in the field, Click Save and New to save this expense and start another one, or Save and Close if you’re done creating expenses.

I am trying to add an expense that I paid cash for in 2023 at ace hardware for $46.97 +$3.99 tax. However, when I open the add expense window, then click on ace hardware as the vendor, it automatically populates with an existing expense of $104.34. How do I enter the new expense when this other one is in there? I changed the date because the new transaction is a different date that one one currently in the window, but I don't want to save that because whatever date is currently in there for the existing transaction I don't want to mess it up so I end up backing out without saving anything. Please help.
It's good to see you here in the Community space, @schiesser. I've got the steps to fix your expense issue.
Let's proceed in turning off your Pre-fill forms with previously entered content since this automatically fills other fields of the form, based on the last saved transaction for that customer, vendor, or employee.
Go to the Gear icon, then choose Account and settings.
Select Advanced.
Navigate to the Automation section.
Click the Pencil icon to edit.
Toggle off the Pre-fill forms with previously entered content.
Click Save, then Done.
Create an expense transaction again to check if the details will still auto-populate. If it doesn't, let's proceed in troubleshooting your browser to see if this is a browser-related issue.
Let's start by opening an incognito or private browser window. You can use the following keyboard shortcuts for the most popular browsers:
Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Shift + N
Once you have opened the browser window, log in to your QuickBooks account and create an expense transaction. If it doesn't auto-populate, proceed to clear your browser's cache. This process removes and fixes specific issues and helps the program run flawlessly. Additionally, you can use other devices and supported browsers to ensure everything works as expected.
Additionally, you can run a vendor total report to see how much you've paid to your vendors.
