Manage iterative payments to one bill

It will show paid in full as soon as it is paid in full: There will be no open balance. Is that what you're asking?

Hello, 

This problem I have with the solutions suggested so far is that as soon as I apply one payment to the bill, it is removed from the unpaid queue.  How then can I apply the next payment to the same bill?   Unfortunately I have 6 separate checks that are partial payments for this bill.  How do I apply them all, in the months in which they were processed, so my bank account is accurate?   I hope I have clarified the problem sufficiently.   

I can help you pay those bills in no time, RoschoMA. 

Your partially-paid bills will show when you choose the Show all bills radio button on the Pay Bills window.

Otherwise, you may open the Bill and then click on Pay Bill to select the check boxes of the bills you want to pay. 

For more details, check this article: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.

If you want to check which bills remain unpaid, you can run the Unpaid Bills Detail report in QBDT. Here's how:

1. Go to Report and select Vendors and Payables.
2. Select Unpaid Bills Detail.

You can also customize the report to only show the data needed.
