How do I pay a bill in QBOnline Simple Start? A few unpaid bills were just migrated over from Desktop for Mac. Feature not included. Is there a work around?

I just migrated from Desktop for Mac to QB Online Simple Start and am trying to handle my first reconciliation.  Can't pay some unpaid bills that migrated over.  Hoping I might cancel these transactions and just enter them as expenses.  Is this possible?

You need to have QBO Essential or a higher plan to utilize the Bill Payment feature.

Another option, signup for a free Melio account to manage and pay your bills, but you still need to record the transactions manually in your Simple Start.

How do I pay a bill in QBOnline Simple Start? A few unpaid bills were just migrated over from Desktop for Mac. Feature not included. Is there a work around?

Let me share how you can manage unpaid bills, @LMBT.

 

Currently, you can utilize the bills and bills payment feature in QuickBooks Online Essential, Plus, and Advanced. Since you're using a Simple Start, this option is unavailable. 

 

Alternatively, we can delete the impacted transaction and recreate it as an expense or check. 

 

To remove the transaction, here's what you need to do:

 

  1. Go to Bookkeeping, select Transactions, then select All Sales (Take me there) or Expenses (Take me there).
  2. Find the transaction. 
  3. In the Action column, select the dropdown ▼ and then click the View/Edit to open the transaction.
  4. Choose More in the footer. Then select Void or Delete.
  5. Select Yes to confirm. 

 

Once done, recreate the transactions as an expense or a check in your QBO account. 

 

Additionally, you can review these articles to guide you in managing vendor transactions in QBO:
