Paying Vendors irrespective of bills amounts

Hi,
We pay fifties of payments to vendors on daily basis irrespective of bills amounts and the ledger is maintained automatically to see if there is a Cr or Dr balance for any vendor. I do it through "Check payments" in QB desktop. This is because if I try to pay through pay bills option, the amounts don't match and I would have to spend extra time to divide the payments into different bills and then pay; also I think this way my payment amounts would be shown different in the ledger (difficult for us to reconcile later). But the problem through check payment without bills is that it keeps all the bills as open bills. 


Ideally, I am looking for a solution that when I enter an amount to pay, it should automatically be distributed to bills (date wise) if I don't select particular bills from the list. This is same as receiving the payments from suppliers; i.e. when we receive a different amount than our invoices, the amount is automatically distributed to the invoices (date wise). 


Can somebody help please?

Paying Vendors irrespective of bills amounts

Welcome to the Community, @SaqibKhan.

 

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about paying your bills. For bill payments, the feature that you want is currently not available. What you can do for now is to manually select the bills to make a payment. I'll be happy to provide you the steps.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Vendors menu, then select Pay Bills.
  2. Select the correct accounts payable account from the dropdown.
  3. Select the checkboxes of the bills you want to pay from the table.
    Note: To unmark or mark all the bills in the list, select Clear Selections or Select All Bills.
  4. Set any discount or credit that you want to apply to the bills.
    • Discount - Select this if your vendor gave you a discount for this transaction.
    • Credit - Select this if you received a credit from your vendor, and you used it to reduce your total bill amount.
  5. Enter the date you paid the bill.
  6. Select the payment method:

     

    • Check - Select Assign check number if you plan to manually write the check. Select To be Printed to print the check or add it to the list of checks to print.
    • Credit Card - You can use credit cards to pay bills, then print a payment stub.
    • Online Bill Payment - You can directly pay your vendor bills in QuickBooks. It also records your payment automatically so your reports are accurate.
    • Online Bank Payment - The payment processor will print and mail a check to the employee. You can select Include reference number if you want the bill or credit reference number to be sent along with your name and account number.
    • Cash, Debit or ATM card, Paypal, or EFT - You can select Check, then Assign check number even when you’re not paying with an actual check. Enter the type of payment in the check number field or leave it blank.
  7. Select Pay Selected Bills.
  8. Select Done, or select Pay More Bills if you have other bills you need to pay.

Paying bills is part of your usual accounts payable workflow in QuickBooks Desktop. To see the complete list of workflows and other vendor-related transactions, go to Account Payable Workflow.
