Do you have in your program any section to register the accounts payable?

Do you have in your program any section to register the accounts payable?

I'm here to share some insights about the Accounts Payable (A/P) account in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jtorres-marcoscu. This way, you can manage your expense transactions accordingly.

 

There are two sections in QBO where you can add a new account. You can have it added through your chart of accounts or while recording an invoice, check, bill, or other transaction.

 

If you want to register the A/P account in your chart of accounts, there's no need to do so since it's a default account in QuickBooks. This means that it's automatically added when you create your company in QBO. To learn more about this, please refer to this article: Manage default and special accounts in your QuickBooks Online chart of accounts.

 

If you want to record your transactions under the A/P account, you'll have to enter your expenses through a Bill, Expense, or Check. To do this, visit the + New button and select the appropriate one under the Vendors column. For the step-by-step guide, here's how:

 

  1. Go to the + New button.
  2. Select Expense, Bill, or Check.
  3. Enter all other necessary details of your expense transaction.
  4. In the Category details section, enter the expense info. In the Category drop-down, select the A/P account to track expense transactions.
  5. Enter the Amount and Tax.
  6. When you're done, select Save and close85.jpg

 

To know more about managing expenses in QBO, you can refer to this article: Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, the general recommendation is to maintain one Accounts Payable (A/P) account to or organize your books in QBO. To learn more about this, you can check out this article for the complete details: How to group Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable account types.

 

Please don't hesitate to keep me posted if you have other concerns about managing the A/P account and your expenses in QBO. You can drop a comment below, and I'll gladly help. Take care, and I wish you continued success, @jtorres-marcoscu.
