Transaction categories

When I am using the Self-Employed app, I see different categories and more choices. Then when I go onto the self-employed Quick books website. For example, I can see Travel as an option using the app but that category does not exist when I log into my account on the website, does any one know why this is happening?

Let me guide you on how you can view the list of categories in QuickBooks Self-employed, KellyTips.

 

You'll have to select the type of transaction for your categories to show up in all the category lists. I've added a screenshot for reference. Also, please know that the screenshots provided may be in the US version, however, they work just the same way as the UK version:

 

 

Once you've selected the type, you can click the category so you'll be able to view the list. I've highlighted the category in yellow.

Furthermore, to make sure to keep up your transactions, you can run reports so you'll know the different aspects of your business. You'll only have to customise them to make sure you'll get the data you need. Go through this article for your guide: Customise Reports In QuickBooks Online.

I have seen your screenshot now and replicated this on my web browser QB account - and I only see the categories shown in my screenshot attached. I see more category options when I review and approve unreviewed transactions in the app
