Why are my bills defaulting to Accounts Payable - Unvouchered rather than Accounts Payable?

The default Accounts Payable account might have been renamed to Accounts Payable - Unvouchered by one of your user, Zandra.

It is true that QuickBooks Online uses Accounts Payable as the default account for bills. We can check the Audit Log to see who made the changes and when they occurred. Afterwards, we can go to the Chart of Accounts and restore the correct account name.

1. Click Transactions on the left menu and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Look for the Accounts Payable - Unvouchered account.
3. Press the drop-down arrow next to the View register button.
4. Choose Edit and change the Account name to Accounts Payable.
5. Save the changes.

Then, we can double-check the bills to ensure that the changes we made are correctly reflected.

1. Open a bill.
2. Click More at the bottom and select Transaction journal.
3. It should now display as Accounts Payable.
