Question

How to properly make an invoice for subcontractor hauling

I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this to but... I am starting a new companies files in Quickbooks. I would like to simplify things. In the past, I have used the estimate option to build an accounts payable for each of my subcontractors. I need to be able to enter a load # and how much the load weighed and what the rate was so that I can show myself and my subcontractors what is owed to them and then pay them. What is the best and easiest way to do this? 

 

Thanks.

Estimates are non posting, so there is no way it can create a payable/receivable.  And if it could it would create a receivable not a payable

 

Use an item for the load linked to the expense account you use, qty is the weight, and of course the rate you pay as the rate. Use those on a bill for the vendor. Sub-contractors are vendors and should be listed as 1099 eligible if that applies when setting up the contractor/vendor record.
