The only way to store a receipt in Quicken is to scan it and then attach
it to the transaction in the register. (Actually, the scanned copy is
just attached to the Quicken User file and it opens if you click on the
attachment icon in the register).
Otherwise, all Quicken knows is what is entered in a transaction.
This is usually how much you spent, where, and for what (the latter by
your category and possible memo entry, and/or a note if you use the note
feature). If you spend on different categories for a single transaction
(as is often the case at Costco or Safeway), you'll have details,
providing you entered them as splits in the transaction.
i.e. a $100.00 payment at Safeway might be split into categories
like;
Groceries...55.00
Postage.....22.00
Liquor.......23.00
Mind you, Quicken entries are not true receipts. They can give you the
information you need, but whether a merchant will consider it proof of
purchase is a moot point.
However, if it's something like a home improvement item, if you had both
the credit card statement showing the purchase, and a printout of the
Quicken transaction record, together the IRS might consider it proof.
TOM SPOTT????
But, if you're looking for a true copy of the whole purchase and only
entered the total amount without splitting out the items, you're pretty
much out of luck with Quicken for a source.
It's possible that Amex might have a scanned copy of the original
receipt. Have you tried calling them?

Banette
Was it something you attached to your Quicken file, or a receipt you have
in hand and need to scan and print?
It is America Express c.c. receipt from Safeway that was misplaced and I
need a duplicate with the details for
accounting purposes. Safeway has a problem providing
a duplicate.
I thought that there was a way of getting a copy from Quicken.
