You can record the products you buy to perform your services as business expenses. While invoices and sales receipts track the money your customers pay you, expenses track the money you pay to your suppliers, so you record them a bit differently.

 

If you have already paid for the supplies, you will need to record an expense. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the + Create button in the left menu and choose Expense.
  2. Select the vendor in the Payee field, then pick the account used to pay in the Payment account field.
  3. In the Payment date field, enter the date.
  4. In the Payment method field, select how you paid for the supplies.
  5. In the Item details section, enter specific products.
  6. Enter the Amount and Tax.
  7. Once done, select Save and close.

 

If you haven't paid yet and will pay later, enter a Bill instead.

 

To choose the right expense category, we recommend speaking with your accountant to ensure it fits your specific business setup.
