    Hi, Marc. You can upload the PDF either through the Receipts section or by using the Attachments option.

     

    Here’s the easiest way to do it using the receipt upload feature:

     

    1. Go to Accounting, choose Receipts.
    2. Click Upload from Computer, Google Drive, or Forward from email.
    3. QuickBooks will extract the details. When reviewing, select the Payee and Category (Cost of Goods for Sale).



    4. Confirm the Amount and Date.
    5. Save your changes.

       

    If you prefer to enter it manually, click +Create > Expense > Attachments. Then, save.

     

     

    Please use Expense if you've already paid the invoice. If it's still unpaid, use Bill. Always review uploaded receipts, as the extracted details sometimes need adjustments. This will ensure that costs are accurately reflected in your profit calculations.
