How to Pay a Bill Using Online Bill Pay with QuickBooks
Published 05/22/2010 | 
It was a pleasure speaking with you the other day. I was just about to pay some bills via Bill-pay (thru WFB online) and need help as to how I account for them. When I “pay bills” in QuickBooks, my only options are “to print” or “check number”. From that day’s talk, I believe I can use ‘set credits’ only when the online banking is activated and I have a check (in WFB online checking) to match the bill I am paying, Is that right?? What would you suggest is the right way to enter this.
Since you already have online banking, I recommend signing up for QuickBooks Online Bill Pay (Banking > Online Banking) as well. Once you do, you can pay your bills right within QuickBooks through Vendors > Pay Bills. In addition to the To be printed and Assign check number options, you’ll get a new Online bank payment option.If you decide not to sign up, you still don’t need to apply credits as long as you pay the bill through Vendors > Pay Bills. Just select Assign check number and either leave the check number blank or enter something like “EFT” or “BILLPAY”. Try to consistently use the same thing on every WFB billpay so you can easily sort your register by number to find all your online bill pay transactions if ever needed.
