How can you "auto populate" the expense account to the vendor? Ex: When entering an expense in the check register: How can it automatically attach the account to Vendor?

Hello there, joppelt08.

I'll be glad to provide you with the steps on how you can select an account to automatically populate the expense account when writing a check in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You'll want to set up a default account for your vendor so it will automatically show up when you create an expense transaction for that specific vendor. Let me share the steps below.

1. Go to the Expenses menu.
2. Choose Vendors.
3. Select the vendor you want to add an account.
4. Click Edit, and you'll be routed to the vendor's information page.
5. Scroll down to the Accounting section.
   
   
6. From the Choose account dropdown, select the Default expense category.
   
7. Then hit Save.

Once done, you can now create an expense transaction for that vendor, and the account you choose will automatically populate the transaction.
