I figured out the correct work around - for anyone else having the same problem. I used Journal Entry to move the requisite amount of money from the Security Asset to Accounts Payable which requires a vendor name. Then, when I pulled up the bill under pay bills - the journal entry appeared as an option. I matched the journal entry to the bill and the balance of the bill was cleared, and the bill marked paid. So the solution is to use the Accounts Payable account so that the transfer of money is registered to the vendor who's bill needs paying.
my pop up window sayd "Something's not quite right. You must select an account for this transaction". I HAVE "Falcon National Bank" selected under Account.
What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to print a deposit summary to take with me to the bank with cash and checks.
Thank you for providing details, nbalfanz002.
I'd like to help and make sure you're able to print a deposit summary in QuickBooks Online.
I just replicated your scenario and I was able to print a deposit summary. To isolate this issue, I recommend performing some troubleshooting steps to fix browsing issues.
To start, we can access your QuickBooks through a private window from browser, then print the deposit summary from there. Use these keyboard shortcuts to open a private window for browsers:
If you're able to print without errors, then that's good. You can go back to your regular browsing window and clear it's cache. This will remove outdated and corrupted files than causes unusual behavior.
You can also use other supported browsers that works perfectly with QuickBooks Online.

Create a journal entry that applies your security deposit to the last month's rent that's entered as a bill as the following -
Credit the Security Deposit (should be a current asset)
Debit Accounts Payable (and put the Vendor name in the name field)
You should then be able to use that to offset the rent bill.
Agree, this is ridiculous.
I have clients that use escrow accounts to pay things.
And other clients that use due to/from accounts for intercompany transactions.
Forcing us to either Journal Entry it in, or set the accounts as Bank Accounts is stupid.

I'm getting this hard stop when trying to add a New Expense.
Similar problem. I had to relink a mortgage account to my QB online account. I re-linked it and selected "long term liabilities" and "notes payable" when I linked it. Now I am trying to review imported monthly payments. When I try to split the payment into interest and principal, I get this error message: "This account is set up as a liability account. To accept this transaction, either disconnect the account or change its category type to bank or credit card." This didn't used to be an issue, so maybe I messed something up when I re-linked?
I'll go over how we can fix the error you've encountered in QuickBooks Online, @rwheeks.
To get around this error, you can disconnect the Mortgage account or change the category to bank or credit card.

I am trying to put in a credit card credit we recie3ved back onto our credit card from a vendor. I keep getting this message.
check your account details before you continue. You may need to select a different type of account for your transaction.
Hi, @Just Plumbing Co. I'm here to help you fix the error so you can get back to working order.
First, make sure to select a Credit Card or Liability account when creating the transaction. Then, review the account information to ensure everything is configured accurately. Here's how:
If everything's good but the error persists, I suggest logging into your QuickBooks Online account using an incognito window. This will help identify whether the problem is related to your web browser. Please utilize these keyboard shortcuts:
If you're able to enter the transaction without errors, that's great news. You can then return to your standard browsing window and clear its cache. Doing so will eliminate outdated and corrupted files that may be causing unusual behavior.
If the error remains, you can try accessing your account using alternative supported web browsers.
Moreover, you may want to run a report with vendor totals that will reflect all payments made to vendors.
