Thanks for checking with us, dougs55.
I'd be glad to help you with entering bills in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. Let's get this working.
You may want to check if your QuickBooks release version is up to date.
Once you're done updating, try to enter a bill. If the button is not working, you can try to open a sample company file and enter a bill. If you're able to create a bill using the sample company file, then let's try to verify and rebuild your data.

If the problem persists, you can uninstall and reinstall the program to fix the issue.
Let me show you how:
These articles are a good reference:
Please get back to me if you continue to get the same results so I can look further into this. Have a good one.
Open your chart of accounts and confirm your A/P account is active.
These steps did not resolve my issues. I'm running v.20.0.0 R1. I still can not enter a bill using any of the toolbars.
Any other ideas?

Hello!
I have done all that you said to do and my enter bills button still will not pop up. Because of this, I can not enter bills. Please let me know what else I can do. I have uninstalled, tried the sample (which will pop up but not on my actual company), updated quickbooks, I've literally tired everything.
Hi there, @EliteAntonacci.
I appreciate all the details and the troubleshooting steps you've performed to resolve the issue.
To investigate why this behaviour is happening when entering a bill, I advise contacting our Customer Care Team. Checking the root cause of this requires tools, like screen sharing, that only them has. They can also create an investigation ticket if other customers are experiencing the same thing. Ensure to review their support hours so, you'll know when agents are available.
I've included a couple of resources about paying bills that you may find helpful in your future tasks:
You're always welcome to get back to me if you need other help in managing your account. I'm more than happy to assist further. Have a great day!
This worked, Thank you! I had my AP inactive and did not realize it. I'm not sure how that happened, but it was inactive. Wish I had read your post first as I did a reinstall as suggested above which I did not need to do.
i am have the same problem. What do you mean, make sure the a/p account is active? I have view: active accounts. So all of my active accounts are open.
When i click "enter bill" nothing happens.
Welcome to this thread, daflaig.
Let me help clarify your follow-up question about active Accounts Payable AP. Since paying bills is part of the accounts payable work flow, you have to make sure your A/P is active in order to enter bills.
If you've already tried all the recommended steps above with no avail, I’d suggest contacting our technical support team. This way, they can take a closer look and further investigate the reason why you're unable to enter bills.
