posting a bill

Thanks for posting here in the Community space, 

I understand how you feel, and I'm here to assist you so that we can meet your business needs once more.

QuickBooks Online is more user-friendly, has more automation, better invoicing, and is easier to navigate. It appears that you are subscribed to QuickBooks Online Simple Start, which is why you're unable to create a bill. This type of transaction is available in QuickBooks Online Essentials, Plus, and Advanced.

If you want to take advance of this feature, I recommend upgrading your subscription to a higher version that has this capability. Otherwise, you may want to create checks or expenses after you've paid your vendor since Simple Start doesn't have the option to create a bill.

Here's how to create a check or expense:

1. Click the Plus sign (+) icon.
2. Choose Check or Expense.
3. Fill in the necessary fields.
4. Hit Save and close or Save and new.

On the other hand, enter a billable expense for an expense incurred on your customer's behalf while performing work for them. However, this feature is in Plus and Advanced subscriptions only. Refer to this article for a complete guide: Enter billable expenses.

I've also included this resource in case you want to track business expenses paid with personal funds: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.

Let me know if you need anything else, I'll be around to help you.

That QB Online does not offer an ability to simply record that a bill has been received??? And you call this an accounting package? – this is ludicrous!!  It’s as if someone buys a new BMW only to open the hood and see that there is no engine!  Recording a bill is the most core function of any accounting package – AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE - and least I remind you that you charge a $360 annual fee to get the “simple start” solution - WHAT A JOKE!  Moreover, your proposed solution to reimbursed expenses only reflects increases to equity -

You should be ashamed of yourself – all you are doing is trying to upsell – I am disgusted with your bait and switch tactics – and will be sure to spread the word loud and clear.
