How to Find a Vendor Bill in QuickBooks

I have some bills to put into QuickBooks from vendors, and I want to enter them just like a bill for another vendor that I entered previously, but I've forgotten how I entered it.  How can I find the previous bill, so I can copy it?  Can you give me the path?
If you know any details about the bill – date, amount, etc. - go to Edit > Find, select the Advanced tab, and filter the information you know.  A list of transactions matching your filters will show up once you click Find.

If you don't remember any of the details other than the vendor name, the easiest way to see how the vendor bill was entered is to go to the Vendor Center, select the vendor and look for the bill or check that was entered.  Change the Show box to All Transactions if you aren't sure if it was a bill or check.  You may also want to change the Date to All

Depending on which version of QuickBooks you have, you may be able to duplicate the bill or check once you find it.  Double-click on it to open it on the screen and then click Edit at the top left of your QuickBooks screen to see what your options are.  If you can duplicate it, make sure to change the vendor name, date and amount.

You enter bills in Vendors > Enter Bills and then pay bills you previously entered in Vendors > Pay Bills.  If you didn't enter a bill, you can skip straight to writing the check at Banking > Write Checks.  However, be careful to do this only when you are sure you haven't entered a bill otherwise you will likely to enter the same expense twice.
