Hi,
We're still figuring out quickbooks online, so far, we have been happy with the features and the capabilities.
We'd like to know if we can process bills payment thru check to an invoice, but the payee name will not be the supplier's indicated name.
For example:
We input Bill 00001 under Company A worth 20,000.
Company A wants the check addressed to Company AB (same owner of Company A, however different bank account of the company".
Is there a way we can do this?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, @Koizumi008. I’ll share some information about bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The option to pay bills and change the company to another is not available. The same company should be reflected on the bill when paying it. Otherwise, you can create a journal entry for this to reflect the other company's name.
The other option is to add a description or note to the bills that they are from the other company for tracking purposes.
See this article to learn more about entering bills and recording bill payments to track sales and record business expenses easily.

Hi @RoseJillB
Thank you for your response. This is noted.
I'm thinking of a workaround since we've already created a check, then voided the transaction so that the check number will not be skipped and there will be an audit trail. Now I cannot just change the payee of the bill, because the trail will disappear.
I'm thinking of just creating a credit memo from this supplier, and create a new bill to indicate the new company name - so as to preserve the data trail.
Do let me know if along the future, Quickbooks Online can accommodate such arrangements.
Cheers!
Thank you for following up, Koizumi008.
I appreciate the effort in looking for a workaround and utilizing other features in QuickBooks Online.
I also understand how this kind of feature can benefit your business and other users especially in handling bills and payments. You can submit a feedback and other product directly inside QuickBooks. This way, we can give you the best experience while using our program.
Here's how:
Our Product Development Team will receive and review your suggestions and might include it on the next product updates. You can track feature request through QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.
In the meantime, you can explore more about handling expenses, paying bills, writing checks, and managing suppliers by visiting our help page: Expenses and vendors.
Feel free to reach the Community again if you need more help. Take care!
Yes, you can do this and it is a very common scenario. Under the vendor, use 'Company A' as the Vendor display name. Under "Name to print on checks" use 'Company AB' and use Company AB's address.
Hi @Rainflurry ,
Where do i find this "Name to Print on Checks?"
Glad to know there's an option.
Thank you!
Go into the vendor profile (Click 'Edit' when in the vendor) and you will find it at the bottom of the 'Name and contact' box.
