Debit accounts receivable / credit expense account

JamesC63

I'm using the Canadian version of Quicken Classic Business & Personal R58.9 on Windows 11. I'm using it for personal use but bought this version because it has functionality for an accounts receivable account.

I have setup an accounts receivable account using the "Business Actions" option in the sub-menu of the Business toolbar option.

What I would like to do is to debit the accounts receivable and credit an expense account that I have called "moving".

I have marked the expenses in the moving expense acccount as reimbersable expenses, i.e. in the Exp column I have marked the expenses with an E.

I have tried creating an invoice. The accounts receivable is debited but the expense account is not credited.

Any suggestions, please?

I don't have that version but when I have an invoice paid that has expenses added into it, it doesn't change my actual expense account so I have to go in and manually add the credit to zero it out.

ScottT18, Thank you for the comment. It is useful to know that you are experiencing the same result that I am.

I'll carry on trying to get Quicken to credit the expense account when the a/r is debited. If I'm unsuccessful, I'll use your work-around.
