I'm here to share details about the feature included in your plan, @pmfday-hotmail-c.
Currently, invoicing your vendors or creating bills is not included in the Simple Start subscription in QuickBooks Online. The feature to enter bills and bill payments are available in the Essentials and Plus plan subscription.
Therefore, here's a link you can use to learn more about how each plan is different from the other: QuickBooks Online Plans and Pricing.
I'm also adding this article with the topics that are useful in learning the product basics and setting up for the success of your new account: Get Started with QuickBooks Online.
It'll always be my pleasure to help if you've got questions other than bills and payments. Just leave them in the comments below and I'll surely be around ready to assist you.
