Hello there, @ RKN.

 

You can create a bill then add the expenses. Then check it if it’s the same screenshot that shows negative.

 

Here’s how to create a bill:

 

  1. From Home Page, choose Enter Bills. 
  2. In the Vendor drop-down, select the vendor you'd like to create a purchase order for.
  3. Select the date.
  4. Fill in the other necessary fields.
  5. Hit the Save and Close button.

 

On the other hand, you can create a check transaction in QuickBooks Desktop. This is used when you want to recognize an expense and record payment all at once. Here’s how to create a check:

 

  1. Click Banking at the top. 
  2. Select Write Checks. 
  3. Enter the necessary information. 
  4. Click Save & Close. 

 

After recording what you owe in QuickBooks Desktop, you can use Pay Bills to settle your payables for different vendors. Please check this article to see the steps: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.
