I want to be able to enter a quantity into line items on a bill but can't work out how to do this. Anyone able to help?

It’s great to see you in the Online Community, petnets.

Let’s configure the Expenses settings so you can enter a quantity into line items on a bill.

The steps to turn on the feature can be done easily. Here’s how:

1. In the upper right hand, go to the Gear icon and choose Account and Settings.
   
2. Select the Expenses menu on the left panel and click on the Pencil icon for Bills and expenses to update the setup.
   
3. Mark the box for Show Items table on expense and purchase forms.
4. Click on Save and Done to apply the changes.
   

For additional information on how to update the information on the Account and Settings page, check out these articles:

• Configure company details
• Advanced company settings

After completing the process, you’ll now see the Qty column in the Item details section.

If there’s anything else I can help you with, leave me a comment below. I’m here to assist further.

If you're referring to the Category details tab on Bill form in QBO, you can't add Quantity column like on some other accounting programs.

If you're tracking Inventory and have Plus plan, then in QBO they have Item details tab to enter Quantity for inventory items.

I have the same concern. It would be great to have this feature available even for the basic plans. It's crazy how you're not able to enter the QTY and Price column so the Amount will be automatically computed.
