You can enter bills and vendor credits directly in your accounts payable(A/P) register instead of using the Enter Bills window to create the transactions.
There are several reasons why you might prefer to work directly in an A/P register:
The record of all your outstanding bills. Accounts payable is called A/P for short. QuickBooks uses a single account on the chart of accounts to track all outstanding bills.
The memo appears on all reports that include the transaction.
QuickBooks sorts transactions by date. If you dated your transaction earlier than today, it may disappear from your view because QuickBooks moves it to its correct chronological position in the register.
