QuickBooks Tip #4 Matching checks to bills after the fact

Are you downloading your checks from the bank and not connecting the check with the bill during the download? If so an easy way to connect checks with bills, is simply offset them to “Accounts Payable”. Then when you are ready pull up the ‘pay bills’ screen, input the vendor and click the first bill you want to pay. The system will tell you that it will not create a check because it has ‘found’ credits and will list the total amount of all the checks coded to your vendor found in ‘Accounts Payable’ that have not been matched to your vendor bills. You can then click off as many bills as you have credit for and want to pay.
