Stop Creating Expenses for Monthly Expensify Fees

I use QuickBooks Online for my business books, and pay Expensify's monthly fees with a business credit card. Every month, Expensify automatically creates an expense for my personal account that I have to recognize and delete. Last month, I was processing expenses too quickly (which is the point of paying for Expensify) and approved this expense for reimbursement. Now I have a big mess to unravel in QBO because of this stupid, unwanted feature. How do I turn this off?

Hi @ZEGC, thanks for posting to the Community!
There is no way to prevent the Expensify receipt from automatically being added to the Billing Owner's account. You can, however, create an Expense Rule for these particular expenses to ensure they are always marked as non-reimbursable to avoid confusion. Check out this help doc for more information on Expense Rules. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks @Matt Moore for the reply. That's a bummer, but I'll look into the expense rule. How can I add this as a feature request? It just seems like a silly thing that wasn't thought through in the context of how businesses operate..

Hi again @ZEGC - To be transparent, we likely won't ever discontinue adding an Expensify billing receipt to a policy owner's account. That's a basic functionality of our product and an in-product paper trail of payment history is more commonly a requirement for most users.
That said, I would suggest creating an Expense Rules so that all of your Expensify billing receipts are added to a report and closed automatically. That way, you won't have to worry about them.
