QB Online: How do you set up a Venders account to automatically default to a certain item in the charts of account when entering information from the statement?

This is done by editing the vendor's profile, tammielouiseb.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can set up a vendor so that it automatically defaults to a specific category in your Chart of Accounts, like Utilities, whenever you enter a new transaction for them.

Here's a step-by-step guide for you:

1. Go to My Apps from the left menu.
2. Choose Expenses & Bills and select Vendors.
3. From there, choose a vendor and click to modify the information.
4. Then, go to the Accounting section and choose Utilities as a default expense category.
   
   
    

This saves time to reduce manual entry tasks in QBO. The next time you create a transaction for that vendor, the Utilities account will automatically pre-fill in the Category field.
