Thank you very much! That was perfect!

Thank you for the info!

do you need a particular version of QBO to be able to process a batch payment to multiple vendors?

You’re in the right direction for assistance, @dinker.

Batch payments for bills and invoices are available for Essentials, Plus, or Advanced QBO plans. With these plans, you can separately enter the bills you received. Then, pay all of them at once using the Pay bills option.

For the Simple Start subscription, you can simply write a check and enter multiple expense line items that represent the bills.

You can also follow the steps below to utilize the Pay bills option:

1. In QBO, go to the + New option to get to the Pay bills. 
2. From the Payment account dropdown, select the account you paid the bill from
3. Place a checkmark on the bills.
   
4. Hit Save and close to complete.

For more information about managing bills in QBO, you can check out this article: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

If you are using QBSE or QBO Simple Start, You can still sign up for a separate Melio account for free to manage and pay your bills, but you can't sync them directly.

Hello,

I am able to do all that is described above, however the maximum number of bills I can select are what is shown on the page at the time. I can increase the maximum to show me 350 bills, but I normally need to pay about 1000 at a time to one vendor. How can I select this many quantity of bills to process in one payment?

Hi there, @lexipop.

Having the ability to select more than 350 bills to process in one payment would help save data time entry.
