How do I do a monthly recurring bill payment?

Let us share some information on how recurring transactions work in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Shearerforce.

We can create templates for recurring transactions except for bill payments, customer payments, and time activities. Since the option to set up recurring bill payments is unavailable, we'll need to record bill payments manually in the program. You can check out this article to record payment towards bills: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

If you need to set up a recurring bill, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the Gear icon on the top menu.
2. In the Lists column, select Recurring transactions.
3. Click New.
4. Select Bill as the type of transaction to create, and then select OK.
5. Enter a Template name.
6. Choose a Type: Scheduled, Reminder, or Unscheduled.
7. Complete the fields and press Save template.

Once you get the reminder, you can find it on the Dashboard in Tasks. From there, you'll get a notification before the due date. See the screenshot for your reference:
