Can I schedule payments of multiple bills to the same vendor at once via QB Bill Pay?

You can schedule payment for a single bill. And you can select multiple bills and mark them as paid. But you can't schedule online payment for multiple bills.

Hey there, lmcamerica.

 

Glad to see my colleague was able to lend a hand with the info mentioned above. I'm here to provide some additional info about submitting bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

Scheduling multiple bill payments to one vendor would be a very handy feature to have. I'll do my part and pass your feedback along to the Product Development Team. Many feature requests and product updates come directly from great user suggestions, like yours! You can keep up with these types of changes by viewing the QuickBooks Blog.

 

The Community has your back if you have any other questions. Take care!

Thanks for joining here today, @lmcamerica.

 

Currently, the option to schedule multiple bills for one payment isn't possible. You can only create one schedule for one bill.

 

Here are some handy articles that can help you along the way. It has FAQ's and other information about QuickBooks Online Bill Pay.

 

You can also browse specific topics at this link here if you need help with other QBO tasks.

 

Let me know if you still have questions or concerns with bills. I'm always here to assist you. Take care and have a lovely weekend ahead.

Thanks @ShiellaGraceA! Is this a feature request that can be submitted to the development team or something we could test in QB Labs? I'm sure many users would benefit from the ability to pay multiple bills to the same vendor at once.

 

Thanks!

    It would be really nice to pay multiple invoices to a vendor....It is a waste of printer paper, ink, envelope and stamp to schedule a $13.54 payment for 1 invoice due on a certain day, and also schedule a $254.64 check that is due the same day....we used to be able to pay multiple invoices on qb desktop....it was just to be able to print the check to mail it, but it saves money! QB lets get that available for us to use! It would make my day way easier!

      It would be SUPER beneficial to pay multiple bills to the same vendor as one lump sum! We use one company in particular for most of our supplies, so we have multiple invoices that are due to them. Currently, when I send out multiple payments, they get multiple payments received in their account. And, I get multiple lines of withdraws on my bank statements and an email for each bill paid. It would be a lot less cluttered and more streamlined for this to be a feature.

        I have a vendor that I have to pay 25 invoices and I want to pay via QB bill pay, and have QB send out the check. Is QB going to send out 25 checks to the same vendor? I find that ridiculous.

          Greetings, @sarah mince.

           

          I understand your frustration. I've got a workaround to help you.

           

          Scheduling multiple bill payments to one vendor is one of the features of QuickBooks. As a workaround, you can create a lump sum bill and delete the others.

           

          Additionally, let me submit your feedback along to the Product Development Team. You can review any updates about these types of changes by viewing the QuickBooks Blog.

           

          Please feel free to post additional concerns. Stay safe and have a good one!

          thanks for your quick reply but that really won't help. The vendor need a list of all the invoices being paid, and it just seems so messy to do it that way. Another issue I have with bill pay in QBO is receiving discounts for early pay. In QB desktop  it was the click of a button, in QBO its not so simple. Can you tell me how its done in QBO?

          thanks
