"You cannot use more than one A/R or A/P account in the same transaction"...client getting this message when trying to input bill for inventory items. Pay to is VENDOR in QB!
If the client is properly entering bills per vendor in the Enter Bills window, he or she should not be receiving this message. Make sure the inventory items that are being received in the system are setup with the correct accounts.
The one answer I got back did not resolve my issue. All items are "routed" correctly with actual Cost of Goods Sold, Inventory Asset and Income fields. Can someone else please interject? I could see that others had this same question, but were not Accountants in the forum. Thank you!
This occurs when use enter a bill and on the supplier line you enter the same name as you enter in the customer job column. You do not need the customer job
Graceman's answer too did not resolve the client's issue. The "Customer Job" cell was not populated. Please continue with suggestions? Inventory can be very complicated quickly! Thanks
There is two tabs when entering a bill make sure there is nothing on the underlying tab.
One is for Item receipt the other is for expense, which one is being used.
exit & try again.
I have been trying to follow my accountants instructions for correcting my balance using a journal entry and discovered that this is either a programing error or glich per the Intuit Support site. According to them, you can either have an Accounts Receivable OR an Accounts Payable in the entry, but not both. You will need to make 2 separate entries, each with one or the other of the account types.
Frances, if your accountant has you making a journal entry to correct an AP or AR balance, your accountant is wrong and most likely doesn't understand how to use QB correctly. No offense to accountants who do year end adjustments that are reversed, but Journal Entries are not the way to fix a problem with a customer account or a vendor account.
You do not use Journal Entry when you should be using the real functions that create transactions tied to Vendor and Customer Names.

HI.. i had a simillar problem.. and this is how i resolve it. actually i tried to pay my vendor advance through write checks. after i pay him few days later i receive a bill and inventory. at this point when i tried to create his bill it gives me this message. and after tring million times i realize that in Receive Inventory there are two tabs and the other tab which is expense is showing Accounts Payble account with 0.00 and that why it says the warning sigh. so just swich the tabs and erase AP and amount 0.00 and try to save again. it should work. now i must say you might not be in the same situation so please explain why are u getting this message.
Thanks for this tip. I started getting this warning after years of QB use and couldn't figure out what was happening. How did that zero entry on the expense get there in the first place?
Rahat, you were the only one who put it in words that actually made sense. This was exactly my problem. I had to completely delete all entries on the expense tab...not just zero, everything had to be deleted. Thanks
Thanks dude, your reply helped. The problem is the 0.00 and accounts payable listed in the expense tab of the recieve inventory with bill option.
Make sure the accounts payable is blank. Just click on it and delete, same thing with the amount column 0.00. Hit delete on it. Then save and close. It should work

FINNALLY a problem solved! I have been trying to figure this one out for months and months! I even had a quickbook class and the Teacher from Intuit was telling me it was the way I had my items set up and I knew that was not the case, he could not even help. This has been driving me crazy. I'm so excited, thanks so so much!
