paying bills

It's great to hear that you're now using QuickBooks Online, @Love Ent. I'll provide insights about adding cash discounts when paying bills in QBO.

In QuickBooks Online, the option to apply cash discounts when paying bills to vendors is not directly available. Cash discounts are typically associated with sales transactions, such as customer invoices, to incentivize early payment. 

In your case, you can create a vendor credit and apply it when paying bills to your vendor. Sometimes a vendor may give you credit with them as a promotion or a thank you. 

To record the credit and apply it toward any open or future bill with them, follow the steps below:

1. Select + New and choose Vendor credit.
2. In the Vendor ▼ dropdown, select your vendor.
3. Depending on how you record purchases with this vendor, enter the Category details or Item details. Usually, this is the category, product, or service you’re getting credit for.
4. Click Save and close.

Once done, you can now apply vendor credits to a bill, here’s how to do it:

1. Select + New and choose Pay Bills.
2. Choose a bill for your vendor from the list. You'll see the available credit with this vendor in the Credit Applied field.
3. Complete the rest of the fields like you normally do.
4. Click Save and close.
