It will take a few steps, Camphuntinvoices. 

 

You can assign a customer per line item in a check. It'll help you split the transaction. Let me guide you with the steps:

  1. Click the New or Plus sign (+) button.
  2. Select Check.
  3. Choose the vendor and bank account.
  4. In the first line item, select the account and the customer/project. Then, enter the amount.
  5. In the second line item, select the account and the other customer/project. Then, enter the amount.
  6. Ensure the Payment date and Check no. are correct,
  7. Click Save and close.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm not seeing the Customer/Project column when I log in and follow the outlined steps.  The only columns I see are Category, Description, Amount.  How do I make that column appear?

Hello, @camphuntinvoices.

 

I appreciate you for following the steps shared by my colleague. Allow me to chime in and share additional insights.

 

Let’s turn on the Make expenses and items billable and Track expenses and items by the customer in the Account and settings. This way, you can see the Customer/Project column. Also, make sure that the Project feature is turned on. Let me show you how.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select Accounts and Settings
  3. Click Expenses from the left menu.
  4. Select the pencil icon in the Bills and expenses section.
  5. Turn on Track expenses and items by customer and Make expenses and items billable.
  6. Click Save and Done.

In case you haven't turned on the Project feature, see this article: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done, you can now follow the steps shared by Kristine Mae to assign a customer per line item using a check. For more info, check out this article: Create and record checks in QuickBooks Online.
