My plan is already on Essential Plan. Why can't I use my Expenses Transaction under Bill?

I want to ensure this is taken care of, -3eighth-co.

Beforehand, could you provide details or screenshots regarding your actions with the expense transactions under the bill? It will aid in resolving the issue.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), expenses are immediate purchases, bills represent future owed amounts, and checks facilitate payments. Each plays a distinct role in effective financial management.

If you're trying to apply the expense as a bill payment, ensure that the affected account is Accounts Payable (A/P).

Here's how:

1. Go to the Expenses menu.
2. Locate the expense, and then select the Category drop-down arrow.
3. Select Accounts Payable (A/P).
4. Open the bill, and click the Make payment button.
5. Under the Outstanding Transactions section, mark the bill you want to pay.
6. In the Credits section, mark the expense transaction. We'll use it as a payment.
7. Make sure the AMOUNT PAID is equal to zero (0.00).
8. Hit Save and close.

However, if you meant something else, let me know by adding a comment or screenshot below.
