Type

A code that identifies the type of transaction (bill, vendor credit, etc.). You cannot enter transaction type codes yourself. If you are entering a new transaction, QuickBooks determines the appropriate code and enters it as follows:

This code... Appears when you enter...
BILL Bills from vendors. A bill increases the balance of the account.
BILLCRED Credits from vendors. A credit decreases the balance of the account.

You'll also see codes for other types of transactions — for example, BILLPMT for bill payments. QuickBooks adds these transactions to the register when you record them by filling out the appropriate form. For a complete listing of all the transaction type codes, see:
