is there a way for vendors to email (upload) their invoices directly to quickbooks desktop
Hello, airplus2.
Yes, there is! Let me share the steps on how you can upload vendor bills to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Though your vendors can't directly upload their bills, you can do it by yourself. You can email PDFs or images of your bill to your QBDT company file. Please note that you can only have one bill per page for PDFs.
Let's start by creating a custom email address. Before we proceed, if you already made a customized email ID through upload receipts, you don't need to make a new one.
Here's how:
Once done, you can now proceed to the next steps (2 and 3) by going to the Email your bills to QuickBooks Desktop section on this article for further guidance: Upload bills to QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.
Once you're ready to pay the vendor bills, refer to these articles for future reference:
Please let me know if you have follow-up questions about this or anything else. I'm more than willing to assist. Stay safe.
i do not see a (email bills) option. I do have a (send bills) option. once i select (send bills) a window pops up to create a custom email address.
I have entered in a custom name many times, but i keep receiving an error message, which is -
(Something's not right. We're unable to complete your request at the moment. Try again later).
the system will not let me create an email account.

Hello there!
I have set up to receive invoices in the qbdesktopdocs email. However, the emails are going to the "for review" section because the error message is saying "NO MATCHES FOUND". Does the vendor name I have in my qb vendor section have to be EXACT to what is listed on the invoice coming from the vendor and not the shortened I have in my qb vendor menu? For example the company "Timbuktu Valley Hardware" is what comes from the vendor but in my vendor list only says "Valley Hardware".
Hello, @Patience. I want to express my gratitude for your participation in this discussion and for raising your concern regarding vendor transactions that show a match not found error. Allow me to provide some insights on how to successfully match these transactions.
In QuickBooks Desktop, when you set up to receive invoices via email, and they end up in the For Review section with a NO MATCHES FOUND error, it is likely due to a mismatch between the Vendor list entry and the name on the invoice received from the vendor.
In your situation, when generating invoice transactions for your vendors, it's essential to ensure that the information matches what is listed in your vendor menu. By doing so, you can effortlessly reconcile and match all the transactions in the For Review tab.
In case you need to edit a vendor name, follow the steps below:
For your reference, you can read this article for more details: Add and edit multiple customers, vendors, and items.'

Does the email have to match also? The email they use to send their invoices to us is a generic no-reply email vs the more personalized email we have in our QBO system. Could that also cause confusion? I changed the name as you gave instructions for and they are still going into our receipt management screen instead of the upload bills screen as well as still saying no matches found. So this has turned into a four to five part step process from how we used to just enter directly from our email. Currently this appears to be more work and not as time-saving as I was hoping for.
I know you're putting so much effort and time into resolving your concern, @Patience. I'll ensure you get routed to the right direction of support to sort out this issue with your invoices.
Beforehand, I appreciate you for following the steps provided by my colleague above. Since the issue persists on your end after performing the process, I recommend reaching out to our Customer Care Support Team.
