Question

A/P clearing

I have taken over for several accountants that posted incorrectly. I have A/P aging dating back to 2003. There are many accounts that have zero balances, but they show up on my aging detail. I've read through the previous questions and tried a dummy bill (didn't work). I have some transactions that have general journal entries; how do I tie these together? I'm working on desktop pro 2019. I also have worked through all the credits available for the accounts except one, this vendor uses more than one A/P acct, can I transfer these to clean up the other A/P? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I can help you figure this out, Lesa68.

 

Paying bills is part of the account payable workflow in QBDT. To close open bills, you can go to Pay Bills, and apply credit and link them to the payments to reduce your payables. You can refer to this article for the detailed steps on paying bills.

 

To apply credits to a bill, here are the steps:

 

  1. Click on Vendors at the top menu bar.
  2. Select on Pay Bills.
  3. Choose the bill that you wish to be paid.
  4. Click the Set Credits button at the bottom to apply credits.
  5. Once done, click on Pay Selected Bills.

Concerning clearing up other A/P, you'll have to select the correct A/P account. Please check out this link. It provides solutions that guides you to the appropriate workflow for bills that remains in an unpaid status in QBDT.

 

I'm also adding this article to learn more about the Account Payable workflows in QBDT for additional reference.

 

Please reach back out to me with any additional information on the issue so that I can get you taken care of. Keep safe!
