How do you show a bill as paid on QB when the payment was made by bank draft?

I'm here to provide the steps on how to record the bill payment in QuickBooks Online, mbrobichaux.

 

You can record the payment made by bank draft through these steps outlined below:

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Select Expenses, then Vendors.
  3. Choose the vendor with the bill you'd like to pay, then mark the bill you want to pay.
  4. Under the Action column, select Make payment.
  5. From the Bank/Credit account drop-down, select the bank.
  6. Uncheck Print Later since you've already paid the bill.
  7. Enter a note in the Ref no. field to identify which payment it is.
  8. Fill in the Payment date and Amount.
  9. From the Outstanding Transactions section, select the bill or bills you're recording payment for, then click Save and Close.

I'm adding this link for additional information: Record a bill payment by EFT, ATM card, or debit card.

 

To keep the record of your expenses accurate in QuickBooks, check out this article: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

If the payment is downloaded from your Banking page, you can match it with the open bill. Please browse this link for instructions and detailed steps: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Keep me posted if there's anything else you need by commenting below. I'll be around to help record your transactions in QuickBooks.
