Why did they change the bill enter and payment process? Bad idea.

To try and force everyone to do things THEIR way.  You know, like they do everything else.  

Hello, @owner2.

There are no changes in entering and paying bills in QuickBooks Online. 

To add bills: 

1. Go to the + New and select Bill.
2. Choose a vendor from the Vendor drop-down. 
3. Provide all the necessary information. 
4. Click on Save and close once you're done. 

From here, you can now process payments through Pay Bills or Checks. Here's more information: Enter and pay bills. 

I'd also recommend you visiting our Blog to learn what new updates and features we have. 

Let us know if there's anything that you need. I'm always here to assist. 

If you are entering more than one bill you are only able to choose save and new for the first bill. On the second bill your only choice is save and close. Then you have to start all over selecting +, bill. This adds un necessary additional steps to the process. Is there a way around? A new choice has been added to try and sell you on schedule a bill and pay thru Quick books.

Hello, @owner2.

When creating a bill, you have the option to either Save and New or Save and Close. Also, you can choose to just Save it. 

I can see how beneficial it is for you and your business to have the functionality to create a bill automatically. I'd personally share this to our Product Engineers for future considerations.

By the way, if there are any features you'd like to learn more about, our Community articles can come in handy: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/community/Help-articles/ct-p/help-articles-us.

@owner2,

If you are hoping for real answers, you won't get them.  QB doesn't see a problem with how they have things set up now. Which is why you received the answer of "nothing has changed", when we ALL know it has.  

You either conform to what they want, or for a better option, quite giving QB your money and switch to a different company. 

Good luck.
