Account Payalbe General Ledger

Let me share some insights about having multiple Accounts Payable, @CK18.

Though QuickBooks Online allows you to create several A/P, it only uses one A/P account when entering a bill. However, it causes issues to your recordings having multiple A/P.

As a workaround, you can use the location tracking feature if you have to group or divide your payables. I'd be glad to show you how. First, you'll have to turn on this feature in your company settings.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Accounts and Settings under the Your Company column.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Edit icon in the Categories section.
4. Enable Track Locations.
5. Choose a location label.
6. Click Save and Done.

The screenshot below shows the last three steps.

Then, go to the All Lists page from the Gear icon and select Location to set up different locations to use. For your reference, you can check out this article for more information: How to set up and use class and location tracking.

Once done, you can run a report to make sure that all transactions are assigned to a location associated with an A/P, and then customize it to show one location at a time. Here's how:

1. Click the Reports menu.
2. In the Find report by name field, type in "Vendor Balance Detail," then press Enter.
3. Make sure that all transactions have locations indicated in the Locations column.
4. Click on the Customize button.
5. Expand the Filter section.
6. Mark the locations you want to be included in the report.
7. Click the Run Report button.
