Good Day, Can anyone give some guidance on inputting a cheque Ref No. on the Bill Payment screen?

There are two options to put a Cheque Ref. number on the Bill payment screen, you can use the Pay Bills option, or you can enter through the Expense tab, @account-dsmover. Let me guide you through the steps.

 

If you're paying your Bill using the Pay Bills tab. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to + New, then select Pay Bills.
  2. Select the dropdown below Payment account.
  3. Once you select the correct Payment account, the Starting cheque number will show. You can either manually input the cheque number or use the default one.
  4. Then select the Bill you want to pay and click Save.

 

However, when you use the Expense tab, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Click Expense, then hover your cursor to Mark as paid and tap.
  2. The Bill Payment tab will show, then look for the Ref no. or the cheque no. You can manually enter the Ref no.
  3. Enter the amount, then click Save and close.

 

Furthermore, I'd also like to share a comprehensive article that will be beneficial for future reference in reconciling your accounts in QuickBooks: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
