I purchase the extra cash from my game vendor with a check so I don't have to go to the bank so much for change how do I record this

Welcome to the Community space, leehartman.

I'll give steps on how you can record the transaction.

When you make a purchase with a hand-written check, you need to enter it as a check in QuickBooks. This ensures your accounts are up-to-date and all of your business transactions are accounted for.

Here's how to record a check:

1. Go to + New. > Check.
2. Choose the Payee from the drop-down.
3. From the Bank account drop-down, select the account the check withdraws money from.
4. Complete the check fields you need.
5. Click Save and close to close the check window. Or Save and new if you need to create another check. Note: If you choose a save option, this adds the check to your bank register, but only sends it to the print queue if you select Print later.

You can also watch the video tutorial in this article: Create and record checks in QuickBooks Online.

If you're unsure about the process, I recommend consulting your accountant. They may have a different way to handle this and can give you the best accounting advice for your business. Don't have an accountant? You can visit our Intuit Find-A-ProAdvisor site to find certified professionals near you.
