Noobie question: Entering non-scheduled payments

My apologies if this is a ridiculous question or if it's been answered before but I have no idea what to search for in order to find a solution!

I have just started using Quicken for the first time and have set up some scheduled bills and paycheques. This works fine for regular things such as electricity bills but I'd like to be able to enter things I purchase irregularly or infrequently. I imagine there must be a way to simply say "This amount was spent on this date on this item which falls into this category".

Could someone explain how to achieve this?

Many thanks for your time,

Paul

Yes there is. You just type them directly into the register.

The "autocomplete" feature does need something to get started with. I usually start by entering the date and then start typing in the payee field. Take it from there.

Uless you have a speech to typing program, such as Dragon NS, you will have to do some typing .
