I was under the impression that if I paid bills in QBO some how it communicates to my bank to send a check from their Bill & Pay. This hasn’t happened and I am late on them. The way I use to do it was pay bill from bank and the post in QBD. What am I doing wrong? 5:44

Thank you for this! In QB Desktop you can print a "Bill Payment Stub" that shows a listing of all the bills you are paying. Especially handy if you are paying a LOT of bills. I can't figure out how to do this on QB online? Help!

I am having the same issue. Did you figure out? Can you help?😅

[@leandrasurprenant2859]

@@MM-eh7ps no I still haven’t! I can’t even figure out how to view the journal entry for the transaction lol. I am looking into doing some 1 on 1 training with QB, if I find the answer I’ll let you know!

What is the proper way to handle bills that are paid/charged automatically to a credit card? and, How do I record the payment date for the credit card? i.e. on 171 a vendor charges $100 to my CC but the CC due date is 2/15 so, I'm lost on how to manually add that expense, as a expense with a later payment date with a CC, or record it as a bill?

Hi, toward the end you were discussing the Save options. I didn't hear the option for using manual checks. Is that, also, just Save & Close? On a tutorial from a different person, she mentioned something about, when using manual checks, to simply go in and use 'mark as paid'. She then went on to talk about going to the banking tab and 'matching payment'. But she jumped around a little, which took away from the step by step bullet pointed notes I was trying to create. Can you please comment on: 1) which save option to use when using manual checks; (2) when to use Mark as Paid, and (3) matching payment though the banking tab? Thank you!

I agree with your question, and extremely disappointed that you haven't received a reply in over a month!

Can I pay bills with a simple start account?

[@amberjacobs1895]

Mine looks a tad different and I'm trying to find out why. First, up by the "Pay Bills" at the top left, I have a toggle that allows me to switch on Online Payment Mode. Second, my payments do not auto populate. Can you explain any of this?

It could be that they make updates all the time to QBO or it could be the version you are using?

I have entered bills and made an EFT payment. However, when the bank feed updates transactions, it doesn't match and now my check register is showing the payment as an expense as well as the bill payment I created. What am I doing wrong?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Unfortunately it doesn’t always get the match so you have to match it manually if you know it’s already been entered

Couple you please make a video about Bad Debts? Thank you

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Do you mean bad debts as in bounced checks or true bad debts that need to be written off?

What is the proper way to handle bills that are drawn automatically from a checking account? Since no check is actually printed, I'm kind of stumped!

[@QbuniversityOrg]

The easiest way is to just add them to the register and put EFT for the check number

How can you create a new bill to pay

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Go to Expense Menu and click then upper right hand corner click Add Transaction and choose Bill

[@kylestroshein2972]

Good video but you missed the most important part about vendor credits
