I appreciate your continued participation in Community space, Bo-Orlando. I'll assist you with how to handle your ACH payments in QuickBooks. 

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) offers the convenience of issuing ACH payments without using your QB bank account. Instead, you can select your preferred bank account by clicking the Add a Bank Account option. This allows you to bypass your existing accounts in QuickBooks and opt for a different bank account of your choice. To get started, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company file.
  2. Select Expenses, then Bills 
  3. Choose Schedule Payment or Save and Schedule Payment.
  4. Select which bank account you want to use as your funding source and withdraw funds from.
  5. Click Add a bank account to find and select the bank you'll use.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

It's important to note that there is a free limit on the number of transactions per month. If you exceed this limit, you'll be charged a fee per transaction. Please refer to the following link for more information: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/bill-pay/#.

 

Alternatively, you can manually transfer funds to your vendors through bank transfers or use a third-party app that integrates with QuickBooks for ACH payments. Check out available apps via this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/en-us/.

 

I'd appreciate it if you could provide me with more information about your concern regarding the display of payment issued for bills as an ACH and the actual ACH via the bank website. If you want to keep track of your bill payments, you can generate reports and customize them to display the necessary information.

I have QB Enterprise,  not the Online version. Does this work as well?

Welcome and thank you for posting here in the Community, @ML MN.

 

I can share some information on how to issue ACH payments to your vendors using your QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. 

 

You can use the Bill Pay service powered by Melio. This feature is available in QuickBooks Desktop 2022 including QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and later versions. With Bill Pay, you can pay your vendor bills directly from QuickBooks using your bank account, debit or credit card. You can choose whether to pay your vendors by ACH or check.

 

Melio is responsible for processing the payments made through Bill Pay on QuickBooks' behalf. They collect the funds from your bank account or card and send the payment amount to your vendor for delivery.

 

If you want to learn more about how to pay your vendor bills directly from your QuickBooks Desktop account, you can check out this article which includes a video tutorial: Pay bills online from QuickBooks Desktop

 

In addition, you have the option to run the Unpaid Bills Detail report to review any outstanding bills for a particular date. For step-by-step instructions on how to run this report, please refer to this article: Customize vendor reports

 

I'm always here to answer any questions that you have regarding payment processing for your vendors. Stay safe and have a great day!
