Question

Split Credit Card Payments not Showing in Business Expense Totals

I may have just stumbled upon a bug which could cause some major headaches.

 

I have been using my personal American Express for business expenses whenever I can in order to get cashback. Quickbooks allows me to split each bill into personal and business, so this shouldn't be a problem.

 

However, on the transactions screen, any amounts I've split into business say "SPLIT Transfer" (whereas the personal part says "SPLIT Personal").

 

When I filter my transactions using the word 'American' to bring up only the American Express payments, the totals at the top of the page show £0 for business expenses. Other search terms automatically update these totals as I type.

 

So it seems QB isn't adding my split transactions to my business expense total, which means those numbers are now wrong! :( Hopefully I am just missing something, but it seems like there's an issue! Help!

 

UPDATE: I've tried changing the Category from 'Credit Card Payment' (which QB automatically suggested) to 'Other Business Expense' and that's solved my issue. I'll leave this post here in case it helps someone else in future.

Hello Henderschris, Thanks for the post and for the update, just to add a link for the categories, Quickbooks will suggest a category but it may not be correct, it will, however, have a memory as regards previous categories used for the same supplier.
