I am having trouble explaining my issue with the Payment Reminder function. For instance, say a customer's May invoice is past due. I have a reminder set up for 10 days past due date. I send that customer his reminder about the May invoice but he still doesn't pay it. So now his May AND June invoices are past due. When I generate the view reminders 10 days past the June due date the May invoice is not in the list, just the June reminder. The only way I can get the May and June invoices to be listed is to create a new reminder, then QB shows both invoices. I'm assuming the May invoice isn't listed because a reminder has already been sent for that invoice. However, if you have customers who are behind 2 or more invoices they really should show up in the list!
Also, even though I inserted the first/last name field in the salutation, I get the company name, not the person's name in the salutation. So I changed my template to show "Greetings" instead of "Dear name". I wish the QB techs would look at this and give me a suggestion or fix the issues.
Thank you.

Thanks for sharing those great details, @Itsme14.
It sounds like you might have some data integrity issues going on in the company file. Over time your company file can experience issues with data damage, causing unexpected issues, such as missing payments, incorrect reports, scheduled payments, etc. Don't sweat it. You can use our tools built into the program to resolve this matter.
These tools are our Rebuild and Verify utilities. I've included some steps to use them below.
Rebuild:
Please note: Your computer may display the message QuickBooks is not responding. However, as long as you can see your mouse cursor move, the Rebuild is still ongoing. Wait for it to complete.
To Verify:
You can see additional details in Resolving Potential Data Issues.
I'll be right here if you have any additional questions or concerns. Have a great day ahead!
I followed the instructions and QB found NO issues. No, it did not fix the issue. The problem is, I'm guessing, within the QB program itself and if you send a reminder to a customer and they still don't pay, the next time you view/generate a reminder QB says "I already sent a reminder for that invoice so I won't send it again unless the admin creates a new schedule." I can't explain this issue any more than I already have. Guess I have to live with it and create a new scheduled reminder every month.
Thank you for your response and help for my issue.

I appreciate you following the instruction shared by my colleague above, Sharon.
At this time, QuickBooks only allows you to send a payment reminder to your customers once. That's why you received an error that you need to create a new schedule.
I know that sending a follow-up reminder to your customer that hasn't paid yet can help save your time, instead of creating a new scheduled reminder every month. For now, I suggest submitting feedback directly to our product engineers. This way, they can review your request and add it to the future update. To submit feedback, you can go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online. Then, choose Product Suggestions and enter your feedback.
