I tried Transaction List by Vendor report but it doesn't include categories and won't let me add or group by category.

Hi lisa327,

 

The Transaction List by Vendor report doesn’t display categories or allow grouping by category because it isn’t designed to support those features. To view expenses along with accounts (categories), dates, vendors, and transaction details, you’ll need to use the Transaction Detail by Account report instead.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to Reports, then search Transaction Detail by Account.
  2. Click Customize in the upper right corner.
  3. Set report period to 01/01/2025 - 12/31/2025.
  4. In the first dropdown, select Transaction Type, then choose only expense types: Bill, Bill Payment, Check, Expense, and Credit Card Expense.
  5. In the Columns dropdown, ensure the following are checked:
    • Transaction date
    • Transaction type
    • Num
    • Vendor (important for vendor details)
    • Memo/Description (optional, and if needed)
    • Amount

6. Click Run Report to view your data.

 

This report groups transactions by Account, which serves as the category, and includes the Date, Vendor, and Amount for every transaction. If you’d rather sort by Vendor than Account, you can export the report to Excel and reorganize the data there.
