Thanks for chiming in this conversation, idrees.

I'm here to share some details about the Accounts Payable account in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The moment you create a company, QBO creates specific accounts by default and enters other special accounts when certain features are turned on in the settings.

The Accounts Payable account is automatically created when you enter a bill. Once created, you'll then see Accounts Payable in your Chart of Accounts. You'll find more details in the "Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable" section of this article: How to manage default and special accounts in the Chart of Accounts.

Here's how:

To create a bill:

1. Click the Plus sign (+) icon.
2. Under the Vendor section, select Bill (see the first screenshot).
3. Enter the necessary details and click Save.

To search an account in Chart of Accounts:

1. Select Accounting on the left pane.
2. Choose Chart of Accounts.
3. Enter Accounts Payable in the search box (refer to the second screenshot).

Once done, you're now ready to record the vendor refund check. You can check the detailed steps that my peer KhimG has provided.

That should work for you. If you have further questions about QBO, feel free to let me know. I'm always happy to help. Have a good day!
