If I had a bill that was paid by credit card, how do I record that payment and tie it to the vendor account? Am I correct to enter the vendor's invoice as a bill? I have the 2021 Premier Contractor Desktop Edition.

Set up the credit card as a payment method then go to Pay Bills, select that bill and use the credit card as the payment method

I have an issue with Quickbooks doubling the amount due after the bill has been paid. I've paid the bill correctly but for some reason when I look at the bill payment the amount due will be double what was paid. My old office manager never worried to fix them or find out why it was happening. Is it possible to fix this so these bills don't keep showing up in my Pay Bills Tab? I should add there are 3 in a different fiscal year.

So after you pay the bill you go back to Pay Bills and the same bill is in there but doubled?

[@sabrinabeck3518]

@@QbuniversityOrg basically yes, and if I go into the bill from the Pay Bills screen it doesn't say Paid, but the payment is in the transaction list on the right. When I dive into the Bill Payment it has the Bill listed, the bill amount is correct but the amount due has doubled. I've also looked for duplicate bills but nothing comes up.

@@sabrinabeck3518 that’s really odd. Have you tried rebuilding your data? It sounds like a software issue

[@sabrinabeck3518]

@@QbuniversityOrg yes we have rebuilt our data with no change. I was able to fix one from this fiscal year by voiding the original and reentering. Then I was able to link the cheque to the bill and it went away but I can't do that to prior year bills

I got receipt for a bill that was paid by credit card how should I enter that since it’s already paid by credit card? Thank you 😊

[@QbuniversityOrg]

No just enter the credit card charge directly in the credit card register
