In Quickbooks desktop we could set up our intercompany payables to go to a separate payables acccount. How do we do this in QuickBooks Online?

It's great to see a newly registered user of the Quickbooks Online (QBO) family. I'll lay down some information about the Accounts Payable account (AP) in QBO, nboy.

All the payables are posted in a single default AP account since QBO creates one for you when you set up your company. You can't place vendors in a different one. What we can do is assign a default expense category to each seller. Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses and select Vendors.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the vendor's name and tap the Edit button.
   
   
   
   
3. Scroll down to the Accounting section.
4. Choose an account in the Default Expense Category dropdown.
5. Hit Save.
   
   

In the meantime, I suggest sending your comment about the functionality of transferring vendors to a separate AP account to our product engineers. Please refer to the steps below:

1. Click the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
   
   
   
   
2. Enter your product suggestion.
3. Hit Next to submit.
   
   

I'm just around the corner and ready to assist if you have additional questions about AP or managing vendors, nboy. Take care!
