You can create online payment instructions in the Pay Bills window by following these easy instructions.

1. From the Activities menu, choose “Pay Bills.” QuickBooks enters the earliest possible Payment Delivery date by default. You can change it to a later date that occurs within the next 12 months.

2. Select “Online Payment” for your payment method.

3. Select the Include Reference No. checkbox to include bill and credit reference numbers on the check voucher.

4. Mark the bills you want to pay.

5. Select “OK” to send the instructions to the Items to Send list in the Online Banking Center

When you're finished creating your online payment instructions, this is how to send them to your financial institution.

1. Choose “Online Banking” and then “Online Banking Center.”

2. Make sure each of the payment requests you want to transmit is checked and select “Send.”

3. Enter the required PIN number and select “OK.” QuickBooks will then send your online payment instructions to your financial institution.

4. When you're finished creating your online payment instructions, send them to your financial institution.

Allow a few days after the delivery date for payments to show as cleared. Usually the payee takes a few days to process payments, and your financial institution needs a day or two to clear them and make the information available.
