You can navigate to the Chart of Accounts section to set up additional Accounts Payable. However, when you create your first bill, QuickBooks Online (QBO) automatically generates a default Accounts Payable (A/P) account and routes all bills to it.

 

Here's how to create an account:

 

  1. Go to All Apps, select Accounting, then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select New account and enter an Account name.
  3. In the Account type, ▼ choose Accounts payable (A/P) from the Liability list and select the appropriate  Detail type.
  4. Find out more about account and detail types.
  5. Select Save once done.
