how do I enter an accounts payable invoice

You can create a bill in QuickBooks Online (QBO), mark393.

When you enter a bill into QBO, it creates an Accounts Payable (A/P) entry, which records the money you owe to a supplier for goods or services received. A/P is a liability account that tracks unpaid bills, representing your outstanding obligations.

To create a bill, here's how:

1. In the left menu, click the + New button and select Bill.
2. Choose a supplier from the Supplier dropdown.
3. Set the Terms to define the payment conditions.
4. Enter the Bill Date, Due Date, and Bill Number as indicated on the supplier's bill.
5. Fill in the Category Details section for applicable expense accounts. If you need to list specific products or services, use the Item Details section instead.
6. Enter all required information.
7. When finished, click Save and close.
