Hello hanrei_tchung-ya,

 

Having a sense of how you can record your transactions in QuickBooks Online for specific situations is a key piece of the puzzle when balancing your books. It sounds like you've got one of those kinds of situations since you're asking about paying a bill with an invoice. I'll help you get started with this.

 

For this kind of question, it's helpful to have more details. For instance, knowing why you want to pay a bill with an invoice would be good. As it stands, it sounds like you may have a situation where your supplier is also a customer of yours, so you're hoping your two transactions between each other create a kind of wash. If that's the case, you can start by taking a look at the following article about creating a barter transaction, which is used for that scenario: Record a barter transaction

 

If that's not it though, I invite you to share more details about your situation in a reply. It may also be beneficial to you to speak with an accountant to sort through this. Accountants that know QuickBooks Online will be particularly useful here, and if you'd like to work with such an individual, check out the My Accountant tab, where you'll find the Find a pro to help button. This takes you to our directory of QuickBooks-certified accountants. If you already have an accountant, feel free to invite them as a user to your books using the email invite field in that same tab.

 

I'll keep an eye out for follow up from you, just in case. Have a great rest of your day!
