Hi @donna11,

 

Let me help you print your checks with the correct vendor display name.

 

To print the check with the updated display name, you’ll need to tick the Print on check as box in the Vendor Details tab. Here’s how:

  1. On the left panel, hover your mouse to Expenses, choose Vendors.
  2. Click on Vendor Details.
  3. Click on Edit.
  4. In the Vendor Information box, tick the Print on check as box.
  5. Click on Save.

See screenshot below for your visual reference.

 

 

When you untick the Print on check as box, a name field will be available for you. This box allows you to enter a different name other than the name options given to be displayed on the checks.

 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I’ll be glad to help you.

Hi

Is there a way to print a report of the Vendor Name and "Print On Check As"?

Allow me to provide you some information about printing a vendor name report to print it on checks and guide you with the workaround, FCCDC.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can generate reports to get some information about your business. For now, you can only print the Vendor Contact List report to show the names of your vendors. You'll want to export the report to Excel so you can consolidate it to a single report exclusively for vendor names only. To export, follow the steps provided below:

  1. Select Reports.
  2. Search for and select the report you want to export.
  3. At the top of the report, select the Export icon. Then select Export to Excel.
  4. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it, like your Downloads folder or your desktop.

Once done, you can use the Excel file as a reference when you're about to print on the check. Apart from this, these are the reports that are included for certain subscription levels: Reports Included in your QuickBooks Online Subscription.

 

Please touch base with us if you have any other concerns about reports. We're here to make sure you get covered.

Thanks but I specifically needed the field called "Print on check as"
