Hi Christine

 

Because a "Bill" is typed as an AP transaction in QBO, you cannot post it to an AR type account (intercompany); instead, you'll probably need to post it as a journal entry instead.

Debit: Intercompany/Accounts Receivable

Credit: Cash (the amount paid out for the bill)

I cannot post this as a journal entry, as it is an actual bill that will require a payment.  I guess i will have to post to a different GL account and then do a journal entry to correct.

Hi Christine

 

In the journal entry, place your bill as Accounts Payable with the credit of the bill amount, on line 2 enter it as accounts receivable (or your interco account); this will work - just tested it.
