How to convert "check" to "payment"?

Is there any way to convert "Check" to "Bill-Pmt" (bill payment)?

TIA

You'll want to delete and re-create the check to show it as Bill-Pmt-Check, BenTam.

 

Just double-click the check to delete. Make sure the transaction has a bill. 

 

To pay the bill, click the Pay Bills icon on your Home Page. You can also go to Vendors, and then Pay Bills to do so.

 

Once done, you can check the Transaction List by Vendors report again.

I've found the way now: "right click on the page".

I made a mistake that right-clicking on the check and select "pay bill" will create a new "Pmt-Check" entry.

 

Thus, I repeat my question 'does anyone know how to convert a "check" to a "payment"'.

 

TIA

    Thanks for checking in with us, Cindilou.

     

    I've check here on our and there's no reported case where customers encounter a problem when converting a check to bill payment. We can try deleting and re-creating the check to show it as Bill-Pmt-Check. Just double-click the check to delete and make sure the transaction has a bill. Then, pay the bill in QucikBooks. If the transaction is already reconciled, you can still delete and recreate the check to show it as a Bill Payment Check. Just do a mini reconciliation or special reconciliation to re-reconcile the transaction. See the Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered checking or credit card transactions article for more details.

     

    Just in case you don't want to delete the reconciled check, re-open it and add a description in the Memo field that it is a Bill Payment one.
