  • When to Pay Bills

    I can enter bills all during the month, but can I only pay vendors after closing a run? I would like to only have to close a run once per month and our company pays its bills on a daily basis. I can pay the bills in QuickBooks and then enter as historical information but that seems to jumble things up a little. (DMIE)

    If you enter your bills through SherWare's Enter Bills screen, then it will create the bill in QuickBooks when it is saved. You can then pay that bill in QuickBooks at any time, even if the run is not closed.

    However, if you're entering your expenses from bills through the Well Net Expense by Well screen, that will not create a bill for the amount in QuickBooks so that it can be paid at any time. Entering expenses through this screen will generate vendor checks when the run is closed.

    Either entry method allows the expense to be allocated to the well. Given what you would like to accomplish, I recommend that you enter your expenses through the Enter Bills screen allowing it to create a bill in QuickBooks when the bill entry is saved.
