making journal entry
Total Views: 34
In making a journal entry for accounts payable I get an error message that I must include a vendor. How do I do that... where
Answer
On the journal entry screen there'll be a column for name. Enter the vendor name in that column. QB has to know to which account the transaction needs to be applied.
Answer
When you are affecting A/R or A/P with a journal entry, you must assign a customer & a vendor respectively. This way the system knows where to put the outstanding balance.
Hope this helps. If so please mark solved, if not please ask more questions. Thanks!

Are you sure you put a Vendor's name in? Customers will not work.
Answer
Why are you entering a Journal entry anyway? You shouldn't have to enter very many JEs in QuickBooks. If you're working with Accounts Payable, could you enter a bill or credit for the vendor?

Your comment was to list the name in the name column. I do this and I get the same error message.
