Is there a way to create custom payee types in Quickbooks Online?

Quickbooks Desktop had "Other", but all my "Other" payees ended up as "Vendors" when I imported into Quickbooks Online. None of the existing types (Customer/Vendor/Employee) is appropriate.

Hey, @cs45. 

 

I hope your day is going well so far. In QuickBooks Online, there isn't an option to select "Others." The system is designed to only take Vendors, Customers, Employees, or Contractors. However, I'll send feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this in one of the upcoming releases. 

 

You can check out our QuickBooks Blog to see what's new in the product. 

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Have a great day!

So which type do I put my water, electricity, internet bills?? Isn't it just common sense to have Other?

Hello there, @JYcebu.

 

You can use Vendors to enter your water, electricity, internet bills in QuickBooks Online. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Expenses from the left menu, then Vendors.
  2. Select New Vendor.
  3. Complete the fields in the Vendor Information window.
  4. Hit Save and close.
