How do I add cash as a payment method for vendors?

Hello again, Gabby92.

 

When paying bills in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can use the payment methods like Check, Credit Card, Online Bank payment, and Direct Deposit. Thus, able to select check as the payment method is unavailable.

 

If you're paying the vendor by cash, you can write a check instead. Here's what you'll need to do:

  1. Go to the Banking menu at the top.
  2. Select Write Checks.
  3. Fill in the necessary fields.
  4. Click Save & Close.

I can see how the functionality you're looking for is essential to your business. Thus, I recommend leaving feedback for our Product Developers. It is to let them know your desire to have this feature.

 

To send feedback, here's how:

  1. Go to the Help menu at the top.
  2. Select Send Feedback Online.
  3. Click Product Suggestion.
  4. Choose a feedback type and product area on the QuickBooks Feedback window. 
  5. Enter your suggestion or feedback, name, and email address (optional).
  6. Once done, click on the Send Feedback button.

If you have other questions about paying bills, please let me know. I'm happy to answer it for you. Have a good day.

Thanks for joining the Community, Gabby92.
 

You can add new payment methods for vendors by creating them in your Payment Method List.
 

Here's how:

  1. In the top menu bar, go to Lists.
  2. Move your cursor over Customer & Vendor Profile Lists.
  3. Click Payment Method List.
  4. Use the Payment Method ▼ drop-down list, then choose New.
  5. Enter a title in your Payment Method field and pick Cash as its Payment Type.
  6. Select OK.


I've additionally included a detailed resource about working with payment methods that may come in handy moving forward: Add or modify payment methods
 

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a wonderful day!

Steps to setup payment method works and the payment methods can be linked to customers. But not for vendors.

Is QuickBooks Enterprise capable of linking vendors to payment methods?

The payment method cannot be added to a Vendor under Payment Settings.

  4. Click on the drop-down for Type of Feedback and select Product Suggestion.
  5. Select the Product Area.

  7. Once done, click Send Feedback
