Check payment status

We can use the Audit Log to see exactly when and why these payments were voided. Here's how:

1. Go to Settings ⚙ icon, then select Audit Log.
2. Select the User, Date, or Events ▼ dropdown menu to narrow the results.
3. Check the transaction and view the reason why it was voided in the History column.

Note: You can also select Mark as paid from the Action column to see all open bills for a supplier and mark one or multiple as paid. Only do this if you paid bills outside QuickBooks.
