Welcome to the Community, @jc3922.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll have to click the Mark as Paid button when paying bills within the form. This option is similar to the Make payment function since this will route you to the Bill Payment screen where you can manage the amounts.
Also, you'll want to send product feedback to our developers to request the change of the Schedule payment option to Make Payment. I'll guide you how:
- In your QBO account, click the Gear icon.
- Then, select Feedback.
- Next, enter a brief description of your product request. Example: Change the Schedule payment option to Make payment when paying bills in QBO.
- Then, click Next to submit the feedback.
Your thoughts and suggestions are valuable to us. Rest assured that our developer team is bound to enhance the available feature in the software to suit your business needs.
Once submitted, you'll want to check our QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website to track your suggestion. From there, you can also add votes to other product requests that you think might help optimize your QBO navigation.
Just in case there are expenses you incur on your customer’s behalf when you perform work for them, you can make it billable to reimburse the cost.
You can always count on me, @jc3922 if you have any other concerns about paying bills in QBO. Feel free to post again here in the Community. Have a great day ahead.
