How do I make entry into the specific account payable for a supplier after entering a bill?

Hi there, paulnabiswa.

Everytime you record a bill, it will post to the default Accounts Payable (AP). What we can do is to create a journal entry so we can transfer the balance to another AP account.

1. Go to + New and select Journal Entry.
2. Fill out the fields.
3. Select Save and close.

It's also best to ask an assistance from an accounting expert when creating a journal entry. Here's a guide about bills. You'll learn how to pay bills using either the Pay Bills or Check page.

I'm here to help you if you have additional questions. Have a great day!

Hello 

I'm Suhaib from Jordan 

kindly can you help me to now how can I make multiple Account payable (A/P) and make it a default   account by specific supplier   ?

and Thank you so much 

I'm here to help you organize your books in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @9130 3508 5319 1476.

Our general recommendation is to maintain one Accounts Payable (A/P) account to organize your books. It's the default one that's automatically created when you set up your company in QBO. However, if you have to group or divide your open payables, you can use the location tracking feature (available for QBO Plus and Advanced versions).

You'll first have to turn on the location tracking feature by following these steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Select Account and settings.
3. Choose the Advanced menu.
4. Click anywhere in the Categories section to show its details.
5. Select the checkbox to track locations.
6. Click Save.

I've attached a screenshot below that shows the last four steps.

Additionally, location tracking is used to categorize data from different locations, offices, regions, outlets, or departments of the same company. To know more about this, you can check out this article: Set up and use location tracking.

After turning on and set up locations, you can run your report (Vendor Balance Detail) to make sure all transactions are assigned to a location associated with an A/P. Then, customize it to display one location at a time. To do this, go to the What you owe section from the Reports menu's Standard tab.

Also, vendors/suppliers are people or companies that you owe money to or subcontractors that work for you. While you add one or edit their profile, you may select a Default expense account. Please see the attached file below for your reference.
