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.
