Enter Bills in Quickbooks Online

I just migrated to Quickbooks online and it will NOT let me enter a bill and then pay it, like I used to in the desktop version.  Every time I go to "new" and try to enter a bill, it defaults to telling me I need to upgrade my subscription from basic to at least $50 a month.  I just want to enter a bill using my own hands to type.  I don't want to link it anything online.  I pay auto pay and don't need to pay quickbooks other than I want to record the transaction ahead of time to budget.  Can this be right?

Thanks for checking out the Community, Riverstone.

 

I understand that you need to track bills and record the payments. Currently, this functionality is only available in the Essential, Plus, and Advanced versions of QuickBooks Online. If you're using QuickBooks Simple Start, you'll want to consider upgrading your subscription so you'll be able to use this feature. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Account and settings.
  3. Go to the Billing & Subscription tab.
  4. Make sure your payment info is up-to-date.
  5. In the QuickBooks Online section, click Upgrade your plan.
  6. Review the available plans and then select Choose plan.
  7. Follow the on-screen steps to upgrade your subscription.

Since you're new to QBO, I'd encourage reading our Getting Started Guide to help set up your company and learn the product basics.

 

Fill me in if you need more help in recording your other transactions.

Another option, open a separate Melio account for free and you can pay your bills also for free, unless you pay the bill by a credit card. You don't need to integrate it into your QBO account. You can manually record expenses in your bank account later in QBO..
