Supplier Invoice which is paid by Direct Debit: How do I setup a scheduled payment?

Hi there, 

 

I have a schedule of payments for our Supplier's Insurance product which come out on a monthly basis. 

 

I want to schedule these payments into QBO as a bill payment but I can't seem to find a way of doing this in the Recurring Transactions option. 

 

Could you advise if this is possible? 

 

J.

Hello @greeneroom_ie,

 

Welcome to the Community. I have some information regarding QuickBooks Online's capability.

 

Currently, the ability to create recurring transactions for bill payments, customer payments, and time activities is unavailable. For now, the only workaround is to record the transactions manually into the system.

 

You can use this method to record cash and credit card payments towards a bill:

 

  1. Click the + New option.
  2. Select Pay Bills.
  3. From the Payment account dropdown, select the account you paid the bill from.
  4. If you select a checking or savings account, you can enter the Starting check no.
  5. Enter the Payment date.
  6. Select the checkboxes for the bills you made a payment towards.
  7. In the Payment column, enter the amount you paid towards each bill.
  8. When you're done, select the Schedule payments online ▼ dropdown.
  9. Choose Save, or Save and close.

 

I appreciate your input about being able to schedule the payments. We continue to make improvements to the features in QuickBooks, and this preference might be added in the future.

 

As we assess this, I also suggest you visit our QuickBooks Blog to stay updated with all the changes.

 

For additional reference, you can use the following article to learn about the alternative methods in entering payments to a credit card in QuickBooks: Record your payments to credit cards.
