Hello there, @Devorah. I'll help you get through this so you can set up a recurring e-Check in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

Before we do so, know that the option you're trying to access here in QBO is unavailable. You can only set up a regular recurring check to automatically send to your vendor. However, if you're using a 3rd party app to process payments for your vendors, you can set a scheduled payment instead of creating a recurring e-check.

For more information, please see this article: Understanding payment schedules in Online Bill Pay.

In case you wish to proceed setting up a regular recurring check, I'll gladly input the steps below. To begin, here's how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. On the top right corner, click the Gear icon.
3. Under Lists column, select Recurring transactions.
4. In the Recurring Transactions view, click New.
5. Select Check as the Transaction Type.
6. Once you're ready, click OK.
7. Enter the necessary details in each field and then click Save template once you're done.

Additionally, here's an article to help you manage your bills in QBO: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

You can also check this page in case you'd like to get your receipts into QBO: Email receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online.
