If we paid a vendor for concrete services  IE-used a truck to deliver. Do i record the check that was made out to them to match the transaction on the bank account and also if the transaction is already posted what would be the category it would go under? Im seeing to put it under services but i noticed next to it it says income. Is this correct? Technically im losing money to pay them but its also helping finish the job that would then get us paid.

If your bank account is connected to your  QBO account and the transaction isn't recorded yet, you can proceed to record, check, and match it, Scimentvcarrera. However, if the transaction has already been added, please don't record the check to your QBO account to prevent duplicating the transaction.

 

Additionally, for your questions about the transaction category, it's advisable for you to consult your accountant as they can offer reliable and precise guidance.

 

Furthermore, to determine whether the transaction has been recorded in your QuickBooks Online account, you can follow the steps outlined in this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, to gain more understanding of vendor transactions in QuickBooks Online, you can refer to this article: How to view and edit vendor transactions in QuickBooks Online.

The payment to the concrete vendor is an expense so use the appropriate expense account to record the check and then match it to the bank feed transaction.  If you record it as Services - Income, it will reduce your income which has the same net effect as increasing an expense but this is, in fact, an expense.
