Join nowHello,
Hope everyone is doing well. I would like to ask for your help.
On March 20,20 I received 12 bills from one of our vendors for September 2019, August, 2019 and October 2019. These bills have been never submitted to us before. I am the new accounting person and I was not with the company in these months so if I new, there was something we should be receiving the invoices, I would request the copies from vendor. Could you please help me what would be the best way of handling these old bills without reflecting the financials for 2019?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Good Afternoon, @Rita_89.
I'm here to provide you with some additional information about the twelve bills dated for the year 2019. After doing research, I've discovered that once you enter the bills and all other information tied with the bills, then it will reflect in the financials for the year 2019. If the transaction is dated for a particular year, then it will always reflect in the year listed. However, here are a few extra links that may help you manage bills through QuickBooks:
If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know. Wishing you continued success!

Thank you for your response but it is not fully answered my question. You showing me the technical steps of entering the bill which I am aware of how to do. My question is how to handle the bills with the prior period dates. Should I use the date I received the bills? Will it be okay?
