Issues entering a bill

Hi @Monica85,

You can follow the steps below on how you can enter bills in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) for Mac. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu.
2. Select Enter Bills.
3. Choose a vendor from the drop-down menu, then fill out the required fields: Date, Amount, Due date.
4. Pick the type of bill you want to record:
   • Expenses - charges incurred by the business. 
   • Items - this can be anything your business buys, sells or resells. 
5. Hit Save when done.

As for your questions earlier, you have several options to enter transactions in QuickBooks. So, whether you enter a bill through an account register or something else, the option should still be available. 

With that said, I suggest you follow the steps in this article: Resolving Potential Data Issues. Run the Verify and Rebuild Utility tools to ensure you don't have any company file data corruption. 

In case you need to enter a refund for your vendors, then keep this article for reference: Record a vendor refund in QuickBooks Desktop. 

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have other questions about bills in QBDT. I'll be around to help you out. 

You may not have an Accounts Payable account. Create one in the Chart of Accounts and then the Bills window will function.

Thank you.  I think I missed a step, will retry it again.
