QuickBooks gives you two ways to pay and record your bills.You record bills when you write
a check. And you can record bills when you charge an amount on your credit card. Both
payment methods are commonly used by small businesses, so you’ll want to find out how to
deal with both transactions.

Please read the learning targets before you proceed to the succeeding activities. The learning
targets are your goals. Remember, you need to achieve your learning targets at the end of

B. MAIN LESSON
1) Activity 2: Content Notes
How to Pay Bills in QuickBooks Windows

It is super important to note that the "Enter Bills" and "Pay Bills" features work together, and so you cannot
use one without the other. In other words, if you enter a bill in QuickBooks, you must use the "Pay Bills"
option to pay that bill; you cannot just use the "Write Checks" option to write a check to pay that bill.
See Pay Bills vs Write Checks for more info.
Step 1. From the top menu bar in QuickBooks select Vendors, then Pay Bills. (A list of your outstanding
bills will be listed in new screen).
Step 2. Check the box to the left of the vendor bill you wish to pay, and change the amount in the Amt
To Pay field if you are not paying the full bill amount. (You can also select the Select All Bills option if
you are paying all the bills listed in this window, for the same date.)
Step 3. In the bottom section of screen, change the date to reflect the date you are paying the bill, and
select the method of payment - check, credit card, etc. from the dropdown at Method.
Step 4. Next, click the dropdown at Account and select the bank or credit card account from which you
are making this payment.
Step 5. If you are paying by check, you can choose to input the check number by using the Assign
check number option. After you click Pay Selected Bills at bottom of screen, you will be taken to a new
screen where you will enter the check number (or first check number if printing multiple checks), and
click Ok. If you are not sure of the check number you will be using or you are not ready to print the check,
select the To be printed option, and click Pay Selected Bills. Then select Done in new screen. (You
will need to go to the bank account register when you are ready to print the check to edit this check that
you have created and enter the check number.)

All done!
