In QuickBooks, a bill is a document that represents a payment you owe to a vendor for products or services you have received. Bills help you track your accounts payable and manage your expenses.

What is the difference between expenses and bills in QuickBooks Online?

In QuickBooks Online, expenses and bills are two different financial transactions. An expense is a record of a payment you have made for products or services you have purchased. You can directly input expenses in QuickBooks when you pay for a product or service without receiving a bill from the vendor.

On the other hand, a bill is a document that represents a payment you owe to a vendor for products or services you have received but have not yet paid for. Bills help you track your accounts payable and manage your cash flow. When you receive a bill, you can enter it in QuickBooks and later pay it using the bill pay feature.
