About Miscellaneous Payables

Miscellaneous payables are payables for any purchase that is not on a purchase order. Miscellaneous payables can be used for:

  • Rent
  • Utilities
  • Visa bills
  • Other expenses
  • Expenses related to an order 
  • Issuing check refunds
  • Correcting or adjusting incorrect transactions

The contents of a miscellaneous payable are not tied to control accounts and the amounts must be manually distributed to the appropriate general ledger account. The steps in this article outline the basic use of miscellaneous payables. Since miscellaneous payables can be used for multiple types of transactions, the payable information and steps may vary. If you ever need help creating your miscellaneous payable, Contact Support.
