Unable to enter payment reference number when marking a bill as paid

I am unable to enter payment reference number when paying bills. It is greyed out and has "To print" in the box and unable to change it.  This is where I record if it was Visa, Direct Debit or BACS payment as an example

Hi Clare7403, thanks for posting on the Community

 

To check for any browser issues that may be causing this, please try opening QuickBooks via a different browser or incognito browsing window. If you're able to enter the text as expected there, consider clearing the cache and Intuit-specific cookies on your normal web browser to fix. :)

Unable to enter payment reference number when marking a bill as paid

Hi GeorgiaC,

 

I have tried all as recommended and still have the same issue. Reference number is still greyed out with "To print" in the box.  Even I go into the payment itself, I can't edit that info. 

 

Thanks 

Clare
