Issue with Accounts Payable

When I enter a bill, it restricts the accounts I use.  I want to record 50% of the GST paid to a receivable account since we get it back from Revenue Canada.  Then I want the other 50% and the PST to be in the related expense account.  Quick Books will not let me do this.

Below is the message I get when I try.

Hi StAdolphe.

 

Having the right accounts available for use when making a journal entry is crucial to transfer amounts to the correct places. I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction to get this completed.

 

QuickBooks Desktop allows you to make journal entries to transfer funds around. The error stated in that journal entry makes note that it was not created using the correct format. I recommend reaching out to your accountant as they are trained in how to make journal entries to do what you're looking to do. If you don't have an accountant no worries. You can go to our Find an accountant page to find one in your area to help.

 

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.
