How can I email a bill?

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, brbybookagent,

I'm excited to hear you're using QuickBooks Online and that you're hoping to use the ability to send forms through the program to make sure everyone has the transactions they need. I'll explain the options when it comes to bills.

Since bills are transactions that you would receive from suppliers, the supplier should already have that transaction in their files. That means, you wouldn't need to email them the bill. You probably wouldn't expect your customer to send you a bill for something you're invoicing them about, right? The same applies here.

In light of that, QuickBooks Online doesn't come with the capacity to email bills. If you're hoping to email your supplier a payment stub as proof of payment, you can consider the following steps to send them a Remittance Slip.

1. Select +New.
2. Choose Pay bills.
3. Check off the bill you'd like to pay.
4. Enter all details as needed.
5. Choose Print or Preview in the bottom toolbar.
6. Click Print Remittance Slip.
7. Click Download on the PDF viewer window.
8. Save the file to your computer to send manually through your email system outside of QuickBooks.

If you've already recorded the bill payment, simply reopen the transaction from the Expenses section and then pick up at step 5.

This workaround should do the trick, but I also encourage you to submit feedback to the QuickBooks product development team. Our mission is to provide a bookkeeping software that keeps processes as smooth as possible, and one of the ways we accomplish that is by hearing from users like you.
