Paybills duplicate

I made a JE in June to accrue for a June expense. I received the bill in August with a June date. I entered the bill in August when I received it, and reversed the JE in August as well. Now I have the original JE and the bill in Bill Pay.

 

What did I do wrong, and how do I remove the JE from the Bill pay?  

 

Thank you!

Delete all journal entries, and in the future do not use them, they often mess things up and are not reported in some reports

 

entering a bill is an accrual, it posts to accounts payable.  Use pay bills to pay an entered bill to clear the a/p entry

I made the JE to accrue for the expense in June. I can't delete it now that the month has closed. How do remove it from Bill pay ?

Hi Linda Pi!

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Let me assist you with the bills.

 

It can affect multiple accounts when using journal entries in recording a transaction. You'll want to reach out to your accountant so they can how you recorded the transactions. That way, they can also assist you in closing these entries.

 

Also, moving forward, you can follow these simple steps on how to enter and pay a bill.

  1. Go to the + New button and select Bill.
  2. Enter the details required. Tap Save and close.
  3. To record a payment, go back to the + New button and select Pay bills.
  4. Select the bill you created. Enter the required details, then click Save and close.
