When you enter a check (create + sign > check), there is a memo section on the bottom left the side of the check (see attachment below). If you have text entered in that memo area, it will print on a check.

However if you enter a bill (create + sign > bill), even if you’ve entered text entered in that memo area, it will not print on the check when select pay bills (create + sign > pay bills).
If you need to print a fixed memo line like the account number or a specific memo line message on a check print, you can select “account number” field on vendor information page (see attachment below). That way it will print the same memo line on specific vendor checks all the time.

In QuickBooks Online, there is no feature setup to print reference number (or vendor bill number) on voucher checks. Reference number comes directly from entered bill number field.

Reference column = entered vendor invoice number on “bill no.” field
A barter transaction is one in which you buy products and services to a person (vendor) or company from whom you also sell other products and services (customer).
Set up the bartering process in QBO:
Open your vendor center and add the vendor to your vendor information screen with a “(V)” after the name.
From the home page screen > left blue navigation bar > Vendors > New vendor (upper right corner) > Fill out vendor information > Example: Barter Enterprises (V)
Open your customer center and add the customer to your customer information screen with a “(C)” after the name.
From the home page screen > left blue navigation bar > Customers > New customer (upper right corner) > Fill out customer information > Example: Barter Enterprises (C)
Set up a new bank account for your barter transactions.
From the home page screen > left blue navigation bar > Transactions > Chart of Accounts > New > Category Type = Bank > Detail Type = Cash on hand (or select one) > Name = Barter Clearing > Description = Bank Clearing – Same Vendor and Customer

I made a large purchase that had to be paid with multiple payment sources.
I can find lots of information for splitting a single payment into multiple expenses, but how does one go about recording the opposite case? For example, a $10,000 expense that was paid $6,000 from a checking account and $4,000 on a credit card account.
ANSWER:
Start with entering a Bill for this purchase of $10,000
From the home page screen > Create + sign > vendors > bill
Fill out bill form. See attached photo 1 for reference.
.
Then use Pay Bills, and pay by using the bank checking account for that $6,000 part. Then, Pay bills, and do the credit card account for $4,000 part.
From the home page screen > Create + sign > vendors > pay bills
See attached photo 2 for manual check payment reference.
See attached photo 3 for credit card payment reference.
