QuickBooks Tips
If I use the Enter Bills option, can I use the Write Checks option to pay them?
QuickBooks has two options for handling your payments. One option is to Enter Bills for vendors and then pay those bills. The other is to Write Checks. It is important to note that if you Enter Bills you must use the Pay Bills option. If you use Write Checks, those bills will still show as due and you will end up double counting the expense by entering it once as a bill and then again as a check.
