When I view a bill payment I see a "clear payment" button. What does That do?

I have a payment to a vendor but no bill was entered.  The payment did not charge against the passthrough liability as it should have.  How to I fix it?

Hello there, Hbrenda9,

You can create the bill and link it to the payment created. Here's how:

You've mentioned about paying an expense without creating a bill. In which did not charge or deduct the liability.

To create a bill:

1. Click +New.
2. Select Bill.
3. Fill in the necessary information.
4. Click Save and close.

Once done, open the bill and link the check created to the open bill:

1. Click on Expenses at the left pane.
2. Select Expenses.
3. Look for the bill created and click on Make payment under Action.
4. Click Save and close.
