Is there a way to choose an account for your invoices and bills vs having it always go to a default account?

Welcome to our community space! It's wonderful to have a new member like you joining us. Your presence enriches our discussions, and I'm here to ensure you feel supported every step of the way. I'll share detailed information on how to navigate QBO's account selection process for invoices and bills, Mhaug.
 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), a single default Accounts Payable (AP) account is used to track all bills. When entering them, you can choose different expense accounts under the Category field, but this will not change the AP account used.  For now, you can send feedback about this to our product development team. 

Similarly, QBO uses a single default Accounts Receivable (AR) account for all invoices. You cannot directly select a different AR account for each invoice. However, the Income Account is determined by the account associated with the items or services added on the invoice. This will not change the A/R account, but it allows for different categorizations of your income.
