I have received a PDF invoice from a sub contractor working for me and he sent a PDF invoice to me but I can't find where to add his banking direct deposit information?

Hello dgpiche,

 

Welcome to the Community! I can see how having the ability to pay subcontractors through direct deposit allows you to pay them in a timely fashion. I'd be happy to shed some light on your options in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Subcontractors can be set up in QuickBooks Online as Suppliers. You'd enter their invoice to you as Bill, then pay them with methods such as e-transfer or cheque, and record it as a Bill Payment. Direct deposit isn't a payment option for bills, so the movement of money would take place outside of QuickBooks Online, and you'd log the transaction in the program. You can learn more about entering bills and payments here.

 

QuickBooks Online can even help you with you subcontractor forms come tax season. Our Community article Using T4A and T5018 forms in QuickBooks Online details how to generate T4A and T5018 forms for your contractors. I recommend checking it out for future reference.

 

If you want to use direct deposit, you can check out Wagepoint or other 3rd party applications that can integrate with your QuickBooks Online company. You can do this within the Apps page from the left-hand menu. 

 

I hope this clears things up for you. Feel free to comment below with any further questions you may have about this process!
