How to Enter and Pay a Bill in QuickBooks Online

This video was inspired by those of you who've reached out asking "What's the proper way to enter a bill and pay it in QuickBooks?".

I created a video to not only share how to enter bills but also and how to know if this is a feature that is right for you since it's a two-step process.

I never want you to waste time on features you don't need to be using. 😉

In QB desktop, you can print a bill payment stub. Is this available in QBO?

Hello Candus! Hope you are doing great. I have a question regarding our billing process. When I input the weekly timesheets from my vendors, is there a way to link the hours worked directly to the bill I'm creating for them?

What if I am trying to back date my bills and payments. I am starting QuickBooks in Aug. and I want to have all of my payments and bills start in Jan. for the end of the year taxes.

Entering a bill and marking as paid with a credit card in QB is NOT physically making the payment correct? You would have to make the payment with the card in the vendors site. This is only a book keeping step correct? I’m trying to figure out if QB online has the ability to pay a bill for you like you would with your online banking bill pay or quicken?

So when you enter a bill and you pay the bill it seems what that does it lowers the accounts payable by the amount of you marked as paid. How would apply a check payment that was actually made...in other words, you enter the bill, you pay the bill, but you physically wrote a check outside of QB and will enter the check number in the system and then reconcile later. What procedure would you use to cover all that if not by writing a check and then applying or connecting the check payment recorded to the bill entered?
