QuickBooks makes it easy too record bills. If you plan to pay for an expense in the future, it can be entered as a bill. Bills can be entered one at a time, or multiples can be created for different vendors at the same time.

 

After receiving a bill from a vendor, here's how to record it:
 

  1. Use your + New button, then go to Bill.
  2. From the Vendor ▼ drop-down list, choose a vendor.
  3. In your Terms ▼ drop-down, specify the bill's terms. This is when your vendor expects to be paid.
  4. Enter a Bill date, Due date, and Bill no.. These should match what's shown on the bill.
  5. Enter your bill details in the Category details section. From your Category drop-down, pick an expense account you use to track expense transactions and enter a description. You can also enter specific products or services in the Item details area to itemize your bill.
  6. Enter an Amount and tax.
  7. If you plan to bill a customer for the expense, tick your Billable checkbox and specify their name in the Customer field.
  8. Select Save and close.

 

Bills added manually will appear on your Unpaid tab. When you're ready to enter a payment, you can refer to our Enter/manage bills & bill payments article.

 

Entering transactions properly is important to make sure your books are accurate. There's an awesome tool on our website called QuickBooks Live Expert Assist. Each live expert is able to help with best practices for managing your books.
