Some of the information in the Bills tab on your Bluevine dashboard will sync with your QuickBooks Online account. The fields and transactions that sync can depend on what you’re inputting and from which service you’re inputting it.
You can perform the following actions in both QuickBooks Online and the Bills tab on your Bluevine dashboard.
- Create and manage a payee or vendor: The payee or vendor is the merchant or business receiving the funds.
- Create and manage a bill: By creating a bill, you can add specific details to a payment request. This can include specifying a due date or bill number, writing a memo, or attaching an invoice (if applicable).
- Create/schedule a payment: This allows you to easily send funds to a payee.
Note: If you connect your primary Bluevine account through the QuickBooks Online banking dashboard, please name that account “Bluevine Checking” in QuickBooks Online. This ensures that everything will sync correctly.
To learn more about how these specific actions will sync across QuickBooks Online and the Bluevine Bills tab, please review the tables below.
