How do you record a bill from a vendor?

• A. Go to Vendors > New Invoice; enter vendor and amount, save.
• B. Go to Vendors > Bills; enter vendor and amount, save.
• C. Go to Vendors > New Bill; enter vendor and amount, Save.
• D. Go to Expenses > New Bill; enter vendor.

Answer: (C)

Recording a bill creates a liability for money you owe to a vendor and links to Accounts Payable so you can track due dates and payments. To enter that obligation in QuickBooks Online, use the New Bill form from Vendors. Enter the vendor, date, due date, terms, and the line items or expenses, then save. This records the bill as a payable you can pay later, and when you pay it, the payment reduces Accounts Payable and cash. The other options either involve billing a customer (invoices) or don’t create a proper bill record, so the direct and correct path is Vendors > New Bill.
