I know a way on how to get this done in QuickBooks Online, byrongrow1.
Here's how:
- Go to the Expenses menu and then select Vendor.
- Click on New vendor.
- On the Vendor Information, enter the vendor's details.
- Scroll down to the Default expense account, then click on the drop-down menu and select the account.
- Once done, click on Save.
For your visual reference, I've attached some screenshots below.

If you'd like to add a default account to your existing vendor, I suggest following the steps below.
- From the Vendors tab, locate the name of the vendor.
- Click the name of the vendor.
- Click Edit.
- Select the expense account.
- Click on Save.
You can also easily access your vendor records by checking this article: View Vendor Transactions.
Additionally, I'm also adding this article that'll help assign a specific vendor to inventory items to save time when reordering those items: Add a Preferred Vendor and Create a Purchase Order.
