Hi everyone,
I often send multiple payments toward a single bill via international wire transfer. My bank charges a fee for each wire transfer. My question is how do I manually record the partial payment to this bill and the wire transfer fee without the wire fee modifying how much I still owe on the bill balance. For example I have to pay this overseas supplier a $3000 bill. The first payment would be $1500. I pay the $1500 with the $50 wire transfer fee. When my bank statement comes its a single transaction of $1550. How do I record this transaction so that this $50 bank fee doesnt affect the remaining $1500 owed to the $3000 total. And to just reiterate Im entering all this manually.
Thanks everyone!

Hello there, Acomp.
It's my pleasure to help you record a wire transfer fee in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Let's record the wire transfer as expense and enter the 1500 dollars under Accounts Payable then choose an expense account for the 50 dollar wire transfer fee.
Here's how:
Doing this will prevent the 50 dollar bank fee to affect the remaining 1500 dollars. Only the 1500 dollar will affect the bill.

Hello @JonpriL ,thanks for you answer.
What I still don't know is how to reflect that in that partial payment is the $50 for the Wire transfer Fee, I guess I need to know where and when to enter the wire transfer fee so it doesn't affect the remaining amount that I still owe to this vendor, and I have to be able to enter all this manually.

Hi again @Charies_M , I have fallowed the steps to record the payment and fee just as you suggested, still not sure how to link the expense that I created to the bill so it reflects the amount paid through that expense, I do have several open bills from the same vendor witch need to be paid separately so I have to make sure that the expense I recorded with your advice is applied to the correct bill.
