When you mention an expense voucher, are you referring to an Expense transaction in QuickBooks?

 

If so, it's important to understand that there is a technical reason why your expense voucher does not show a balance. When you record an Expense in QuickBooks Online, you indicate that the money has already been spent, whether through a debit card, credit card, or cash. Since the bill is marked as paid at the time of creation, the Amount Due is technically zero.

 

If you want to show an outstanding balance, you should enter it as a Bill instead. This will place the transaction in Accounts Payable and will display the Amount Due field on your forms.

 

Given that an Expense has no remaining balance, the system calculates the Amount Due as zero. To keep the voucher looking clean, the QuickBooks template is designed to leave that space blank rather than printing a distracting 0.00.

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding QuickBooks Online, or if you were referring to something else entirely. We're here to help.
