How can I write a check from a bank account, with different amounts to be drawn from several sub-accounts?

Hello there, ian-slavin-law.

You’ll need to write a separate check to each sub-account. Make sure that you already have sub-accounts in which this check would apply to.

Here’s how to write a check:

1. At the top-right corner, click on the plus icon and choose Check.
2. In the payee field choose a Payee.
3. From the Bank Account drop down-list, select the sub-account.
4. Enter the necessary information in the Category details or Item details.
5. Then click Save and new.
   (Do the same steps for the other transactions.)

Keep in touch if you have other questions. I'll be here to help. 

Does the check amount written in the sub-account show deducted on the banking page, or is it kept in this account as sort of like a tally to keep us up to date on what transactions/checks haven't cleared. Hope this makes sense.

Does the check written (created) within the sub-account get deducted from the banking page, or is it simply just a tally for us to keep track of transactions (checks/debits) that have not posted as of yet?

Hope this makes sense.

Hi, @Cavaretta1941.

In QuickBooks Online, having subaccounts will help you break down your income, expenses into greater detail. 

For example, you can divide your utilities account into subaccounts, so you can track different types of utility payments, like gas, telephone, water, and so on. Also, all of your transactions will roll up to the main/parent account and will deduct the balance.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have other questions. Have a nice day!
