Bill description field available in reporting (not Memo)

Hello, I am now trying to find a report that has the Supplier Bill Descriptions included - these are really important to me as I put details of the type of spend - but if I can't get them out of qb in a report I really need to think about not using the bill functionality in this way - HELP? Why have you a field that we can see in a report.  Is there a new report as previous posts refer to one that no longer exists?

Bill description field available in reporting (not Memo)

Thank you for reaching out about the Bill description field in QuickBooks Online (QBO) reporting, KatL. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention and understand the importance of having detailed spend information readily available in your reports. Let's dive into more details about this.

 

Currently, QBO reporting functionality primarily displays information from the Memo field rather than the Description field. While the filtering option in bill-related reports includes a Memo/Description option, it only pulls data from the memo side.

 

Given the significance of the information you're including in the description field, I suggest entering the details about the type of spend in the memo field for now. This way, the information will appear in your reports as desired.

 

Moreover, I strongly encourage you to submit a product suggestion regarding the inclusion of Bill Description fields in reports. Your input may influence future updates and enhancements to QBO.

 

Here's how to do it within your QuickBooks account:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions, explaining why this feature is necessary and how it would benefit your business.
  3. Click Next to proceed.

 

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. We're always here to ensure you get the most out of your QuickBooks experience.
