I am still fairly new to QuickBooks so my questions may be basic. I have QuickBooks Pro 2009.
When making a payment such as rent, should I use "Write Checks" or "Enter Bills"? I don't actually get a bill for rent, so I'm thinking I should just "Write Checks", but the Coach Tips says, "Record your non-inventory bills, such as rent and utilities" for Enter Bills.
On the other hand, I do get a bill for utilites, so I assume that I should use "Enter Bills", right?
When I look at my Checking Register, my rent transaction (having used "Write Checks") shows the Account as "Rent Expense", but my utility transaction (having used "Enter Bills") just shows "Accounts Payable". This seems odd to me. Why not show my utility transaction Account as "Utilities"?
