Write Check not creating Vendor: Enterprise Solutions 22.0

@j_dickerson  A couple things could have happened.

1) They did not actually create a new Vendor. It is entirely possible to create a check in QB with the Pay To The Order Of field left blank.

2) They did create a profile, but as something other than a Vendor.

Which one it is can easily be verified by opening up the check in question. If the Pay To The Order Of field is blank, it's explanation 1. If it is not blank, click the drop down arrow in the Pay To The Order Of field and it'll tell you what the name and profile was classified as.

@j_dickerson  Sorry, ignore part of what I said before; I apparently didn't read your post closely enough.

It should be explanation #2, since you mentioned the Pay To The Order Of field had information in it. I'd check the Other Name list, but it really could be anything, including a Customer.

Hello! I'm here to help you locate the vendor name, j_dickerson. Let's explore the steps to classify this name and address.

As FishingForAnswers pointed out, the name could be classified under Customer, Employee, or another category. You can verify the classification by clicking the dropdown arrow, which will display the profile type associated with the name.

If this issue persists, I suggest re-sort your list by following these steps:

1. In the Banking menu, select Write Checks.
2. Click on the Pay to the order of field, then press Ctrl+L on your keyboard.
3. Select the Include Inactive checkbox. If it's grayed out, there are no inactive names.
4. On the Name dropdown, select Re-sort List.
5. Select OK.
6. Close and reopen your company file.
