Accounts Payable coming up as Unapplied Expense?

Hello there, accounting373,

I'm here to help you today about the unapplied expense in QuickBooks Online.

The Unapplied Cash Bill Expense account shows up when you send payment checks, but not yet applied to a vendor bill. 

This can also occur when a bill is created for a credit card account balance. If an incorrect amount is showing in this account, you'll need to apply the bill payment to a bill dated before the bill payment. 

Check this out for instructions and detailed steps: What to do if you see unapplied cash bill payment expense on your profit and loss.
