Quickbooks is separating my checks by date even though they are for the same supplier. How do I fix this so I don't waste multiple checks for the same customer?

Example: 1 bill is dated August 31st and the supplier is 123fake, 1 bill is dated September 14th and the supplier is 123fake, 
When I go in to "Pay bills" I'm selecting the 2 bills for the same supplier but when I go into "Print Cheques" it's using 2 cheques for that supplier because the bills are dated in different months.

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, JessicaBray.

 

When you pay multiple bills with different dates by check, QuickBooks will create a bill payment transaction. Only one payment record will be created, even though you selected multiple bills with differing dates. This record will be dated with the date you made your payment on.

 

If you're trying to print the bill records instead of your bill payment check, they'll show as paid, but will show the original dates you've entered on them. To show the date you made your payment, you'll want to print the check, also known as the bill payment record.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. From your Bills screen, access the Paid tab.
  2. Find a bill you're working with and click its Show payments option.
  3. Choose your payment record by clicking the View details link.
  4. Select Print check.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with bill payments which may come in handy moving forward: Enter & manage bills/bill payments

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Thursday!

This didn't answer my question. I know how to "pay the bills" and "print the cheques" What i'm wondering is why are same supplier cheques being separated by months?

 

Example:

outstanding invoice from Office Depot dated March 30th, 2070

outstanding invoice from Office Depot dated April 3rd, 2070

 

When I go to "pay bills" and select these 2 bills to "pay" and then I go to "print cheques" both of these invoices are making me print 2 separate cheques even though they are going to the same place because the invoices are dated in 2 separate months. It just is making us waste cheques for no reason. It should allow me to print 1 cheque with both of those amounts and invoices on it instead of 2 separate cheques for the same supplier.

QuickBooks will only print one cheque for multiple bills from the same supplier, Jessica. I'll provide clarification about this check printing issue and guide you on what to do next to resolve it.
 
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), when paying multiple bills dated in different months for the same supplier, you should print just one cheque. Please see the screenshots below for your reference.

On the other hand, since you're experiencing unusual behavior when printing your checks, I recommend contacting our Customer Care team for further investigation.

 

Also, would you like to know how much you're paying each supplier every month? This article will guide you through the process: Run and save a monthly expense report by vendor.
