Why am I getting this error "When you use Accounts Payable, you must choose a supplier."?

Hi alex161.

Making sure your accounts payable is correct is a great way to verify all your bills have been entered and to the right suppliers. I'd be happy to go over why your accounts payable is asking to choose a supplier.

QuickBooks Online makes it so your accounts always stay correct and information is properly tracked for you to pull up whenever you need it. The reason that your accounts payable is asking to choose a supplier is due to that account being used to track the money a company owes its suppliers for goods and services. without having a supplier assigned there shouldn't be anything going into the accounts payable.

If you're trying to make a journal entry into your account I recommend reaching out to an accountant as they are trained in how to make these entries. If you don't have one you can go to My Accountant>Find a pro to help to find one in your area.

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