Why I cannot find my regular payment account and expense category “cost of sales” when I tried to create an expense or snap a receipt on my QuickBooks iphone app?

You've come to the right place for an answer, @bubblebubblepr-g. Happy to help.

I'm here to ensure that you can create an expense transaction by selecting the appropriate category. Let's work together and fix the problem of the inability to find the regular payment and the sale cost account in the QuickBooks Online (QBO) app.

This will usually happen if your QBO app is full of cache or stored data. With this, I'd recommend resetting the application to help fix the problem. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu.
2. Select Reset App Data.
3. Click OK.

After that, recreate an expense or take a receipt to check whether you can choose the cost of sale category or view the regular payment account.

If the issue continues, let's uninstall the app. To do this, please touch and hold the app and click the Delete app button. Don't worry about uninstalling the app, as it will not delete the transactions, categories, and subscriptions you have. This will only clear and resync your data. Once done, you can now re-install the app. See this link for the steps: How to download the QuickBooks Online mobile app.

If the dilemma persists after following the troubleshooting steps above, I'd suggest contacting our Customer Care Team. They can further investigate the issue and help you from there. 

Here's how: 

1. Open your QuickBooks Account.
2. At the top right, click the Help icon.
3. From the Search tab, enter Contact Us.
4. Select the Contact Us button.
5. Choose Callback.
