How to Record Expenses in a Batch
QuickBooks Online Advanced lets you record money out in a batch to speed up your daily bookkeeping.
If you have a lot of expenses, bills, or checks to record, you don’t have to enter them one at a time. You can batch them to record multiple transactions at the same time.
There are two ways to record expenses, checks, or bills in a batch. You can manually record multiple expenses in a single screen or you can copy and paste transactions from a spreadsheet.
To get started, select "New" and then "Batch transactions." Choose the type of transaction that you want to create.
For example, you can create multiple checks at the same time. Enter the payee for the first check and the bank account you’re writing the check from.
QuickBooks automatically numbers the checks for you, though you can also edit this. Categorize the check and enter other details, then scroll to the left to start a new check.
You can duplicate the check if you're sending the same one to multiple payees.
The process works the same for checks, expenses, and bills.
If you already have all the information about a transaction in a spreadsheet, you can copy and paste that data directly into the batch transaction form.
Just match up the columns, confirm that everything is in the right place, and copy and paste the data from the spreadsheet into the top left field of the batch transactions window. Now you’re ready to save time and record money-out transactions in a batch with QuickBooks Online Advanced.
