Yes, these are added from Banking,  I could not possibly use payee, as these are transactions from many different sources, it is using receipts for HMRC VAT. I have been using QuickBooks this way for a few years, and since I have changed from my accountant's subscription to my own direct with QuickBook the column called description has gone, nothing else would fulfil my requirements to sort my VAT. 


Hello Simon

 

It would be a case of  ticking the copy bank detail to memo section in the cog in the banking page which would then add the same information which used to be the description into a memo so when you then add the expense that would be visible in the memo section on that expense.

Hello Simon

 

The description section in the expenses page is still in QuickBooks Online when you add an expense.

Can we just ask is it in the app you are not seeing this option or in the browser on a computer? Does this happen on the expense itself or when you are viewing a print preview of an  expense?

 

 

Thanks

Both the app and the browser. I used to be able to go to the Expenses page, to attach pdf receipts to the expense, the description showed me name of the company I purchased the item/service from and the expense to attach the pdf file to, now there is no description thus I cannot find without opening the individual expense to find out the name.
