QuickBooks Tip #14 - Switching the A/P Account
QuickBooks Tip #14
Would you like to switch the default A/P account in the Pay Bills Screen?
Customers using more than one Accounts Payable (AP) account in QuickBooks will have an option to select an AP account at the top of the Pay bills window. Customers may want to change this preference so that an account other than the default AP account automatically shows up in this window.
The list in QuickBooks is pulled from the order of the account in the chart of accounts list. There is no preference in Edit, Preferences to change this default account but it can be done.
Detailed instructions:
• From QuickBooks menu bar, click "Lists", click "Chart of Accounts".
• From Chart of Accounts, scroll down in the list to the Accounts Payable accounts.
• Click and drag the diamond next to the AP account that you want to be the default one and move it up above the other AP accounts in the list.
• Once you've moved it higher in the list than all of the other AP accounts, this account will now show up as the default account in the pay bills screen.
