It's nice to have you here in the Community, @Jacob_STC23.

 

Let me provide information about the purpose of the customer field of entering bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

The purpose of the Customer field or column is to keep track of the expenses and purchases made by your customers. If you don't want to use this field in the bill section, you can remove this from your Account and Settings. To do so, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
  2. Proceed to the Expenses section and then turn Off the option for Track expenses and items by customer and Make expenses and items billable
  3. Click on the Save button and then Done to save the changes. 

 

For more information about billable expense tracking and adding it to a customer invoice, check out this article: Enter billable expenses.

 

Once you've paid the bill, here's how to record cash, cheque, and credit card payments: Enter bills and record bill payments

 

You can tag me in the comment section if you have further questions about the customer field or how to remove the customer column. I'll be here to help you. Have a good one!
