Helping you make a partial payment for the bill is my priority, PAULBARKER.
You can use the Pay bills option to record the payment and overwrite the amount to reflect 50%. Here's how:
- Click + New in the left panel and choose Pay bills.
- Select the Bill and enter the 50% payment amount.
- Hit Save and close.
This way, the bill will stay open for the remaining balance.
For your reference, you can go through this article for the outlined steps in paying the transaction: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online. This will provide you other options on how to pay it using cash or a check.
I'm only one post away if there's anything else you need. I'll stick around to help you sort everything out in QuickBooks. Have a good one.
