Write Cheques / Bill Payment Question Please

Hi,

I pay our suppliers monthly upon receipt of a statement, which lists the invoices in sequential invoice number order.

Some statements will have 50 or more invoices for each day.

At present QB lists the bills in date order first, but after that the order is random which means it can take me 3 hours to go through one statement as I search to match up bill nos with the list in QB.

How can I get the write chq or bill payment screen to list the bills in bill no order please?  If I could do this it would make bill paying so much quicker.

Thank you!

Hi BeverlyP,

 

Glad to have you message us here in the Community. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps you streamline your accounting with ease. I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction so you can get back to doing what you love. 

 

The  function isn't available as the program allows you to filter by Supplier, Due Date, Bill Amount, Open Balance, and Status. You can utilize this filter function by hovering over and clicking on the arrow next to the the filter titles on the Bills screen or on the Cheque screen. I can see the benefit of having the function you've described and I encourage you to send feedback about this to our product developers for consideration. To do this, click on the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. New product features and enhancements are largely based on the valuable feedback we get from users like you. 

 

Let me know if you have other questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be one message away.

Thanks ever so much for your response.

To be honest, what you've suggested, ie filtering, doesnt help as I already have one supplier selected and filter to one month, but I have many bills with the same individual date, so looking for the exact bill to tick off from a list of say 50 bills on the one date is very slow and cumbersome.

 

I will leave feedback as you suggested.

 

Thank you again,

Beverly

Thank you James,

 

I do have one other and I will leave feedback as you suggest.

'Batch bill entry'

This would be really useful if you have a large number of bills from one supplier. It would save you having to go through the supplier name entry for every bill and where you have say 50 bills for one supplier, save a considerable amount of time on bill entry, which, let's be honest, can be a bit tedious.

You would enter the supplier details at the top and then enter each bill detail as a list below, so simply entering the bill no / date / category / description and amount for each bill.
