The Expenses by Vendor report is incomplete - missing vendors completely - is anyone else having this issue?

Hello @PIN,

You can customize your report to see the vendor names of your expenses. Let me show you how.

1. Go to Reports.
2. Select Expenses by Vendors.
3. Click Customize.
4. Under Rows/Columns, select Names.
5. Click Run report.

But if your report already shows the Name column and vendors are still not showing, consider logging in to your account and pulling up the same report using an incognito or private browser. To do so:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Option + P

If the issue persists, you may need to clear your regular browser's cache so the system can start fresh. Or use a different browser to pull up the same report.

.Additionally, I've got you this helpful article for guidance in preparation for the 2020 tax season: QuickBooks Online Year-end Checklist.

If you have any other questions, please let me know in the comments below. I'll be here to lend a helping hand.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Good info for future use.

Unfortunately, the report still isn't correct. It is totally missing vendors altogether. I've even selected the missing vendors and ran the report separately on them.  Even though we had bills and made payments, they are not showing on the expense report. There must be a bug.

Since the issue persists after performing some troubleshooting steps, let me route you the right support to get this resolved @PIN.

I just discovered that I am having the same issue. Some vendors are not showing up in the Expenses by Vendor Summary. Very frustrating.

Thanks for sharing this vendor reporting concern in the QuickBooks Community, @croyston311.

I want to make sure you're able to create reports without any problems. If you experience any unusual issues with creating vendor reports, run some browser troubleshooting steps to fix it. Unexpected issues in QuickBooks are mostly affected by the amount of data stored in the cache. This is because a regular browser will constantly overwrite the data and will not remove history unless done manually.

Private browsing will not save any history, so it's a great place to identify issues in the browser. Use these keyboard shortcuts to launch a new private window:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N  
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

Once done, try to generate reports and see if you get the same problem. If it works, clear the cache to resolve browser issues in QBO. Using a different browser can also help.

However, if the same issue persists, I recommend getting in touch with our Support Team. They can help report this to our engineers who can help with program bugs and other technical concerns.

1. Go to the Help menu in QuickBooks, then choose the Search tab.
2. At the bottom, click on Contact Us.
3. Enter the keyword Payroll, Account Management, and Billing in the What can we help you with? box.
4. On the next screen, scroll down to How would you like to connect with us section.
5. Choose Chat with us to initiate a discussion with a live agent.
6. Choose your contact option.
7. When using the chat option, make sure to enable pop-up windows. The chat box will appear at the bottom right section of your monitor, and an agent will be with you shortly after.

I have cleared cache, gone incognito, and my Expenses by Vendor Summary report is missing vendors is missing.  

I appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting steps, @hatethis4. Let me share some workarounds to help you get past this issue.

If you find missing vendors in your Expenses by Vendor Summary report, it's likely due to an incorrect Report period. Ensure you've set it to "All Dates," and then click "Run report" to display all vendors.

If the problem persists, I recommend contacting our support team to investigate the matter further. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
2. Click on the Help icon in the upper right corner.
3. Select Search, then Contact Us.
4. Type in your issue or concern and hit Continue.
5. Choose a way to connect with them.

2024, April, and I'm having the same problem.

Cleared my cache, no change

Went incognito, no change

Changed report period to All Dates and it did change the report BUT it didn't add any of the missing vendors.

I've confirmed the missing vendors are located in the Vendor Report, and their name was used in writing the payments, but they aren't on this Expenses by Vendor report.

Very Frustrating.

Intuit... please fix this.  We pay good money for this online version which is supposed to be better than our desktop version... not sure it is.

I appreciate your patience in following the steps above, Jen.
