Welcome to the Community, MBurtonDCS.

When a vendor sends you an invoice from QuickBooks Self-Employed, it's not going to automatically be entered into your books. You'll need to tell QuickBooks you've received an invoice/paid it by entering the appropriate records.

Here's how:

1. In your left navigation bar, use the + New Button.
2. Choose Bill.
3. From your Vendor ▼ drop-down list, specify a vendor.
4. Use the Terms ▼ drop-down to set your bill's terms.
5. Enter the Bill date, Due date, and Bill no. as they appear on your bill.
6. List the details in your Category details section. From the Category drop-down, pick which expense account you use to track expense transactions, then enter a description.
7. Specify its Amount and tax.
8. If you plan to bill a customer for your expense, tick the Billable checkbox and enter their name in your Customer field.
9. Select Save and close.

Once you've recorded a bill, you can enter a payment towards it to show the payment you made.

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome day!
