Removing Bill reminders from already paid bills

When I added a bill payment reminder, I estimated an amount with the vendor that was ultimately incorrect. For this reason, when I downloading my transactions from my business checking, the entries did not recognize the reminders, and over time, I accumulated an accounts payable that was incorrect.

 

How do I remove these bill payment reminders without also creating a duplicate journal? Is it easy enough to select "mark as paid?" I would hate to get it wrong. I guess the perfect way would be to match the two, but giving the difference in values, I would hate to get that wrong, so I would rather just not track bills through QB and delete the reminder completely.

Removing Bill reminders from already paid bills

Hi there, gammaplanning.

 

To get rid of the bill payment reminders without creating a duplicate journal, you can click the mark as paid option. This will identify the entry as paid, and will remove the reminder.

 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Expenses menu on the left panel. Then, choose the Expenses section.
  2. Locate the bill. Then, click it to expand the page.
  3. Click the Mark as Paid.
  4. Hit Close.

You'll also have the option to manually enter pay bill to mark the bill as paid. Please follow the steps below.

 

  1. Click the Plus icon and choose Pay bills.
  2. Locat the bill that you want to be paid.
  3. Fill in the other necessary field.
  4. Hit Save and close.

 

 

Then, you can exclude the downloaded transactions on the Banking page instead of matching them since the amount is giving the difference in values, you can click this article to see the detailed information and process: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online. This also provides details on how you can review your banking entries by adding or matching them to avoid duplicate transactions.
