Address not appearing on checks

I noticed that starting this week when I choose a "Payee" from the drop down menu the vendor's address no longer populates. I now have to manually add it. 

 

I am using Quickbooks Online

New ---> Check (under "vendors") 

 

Any updates on when a fix can be expected?

Address not appearing on checks

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, NoVA123.

 

I've reviewed our ongoing/solved investigations and can confirm there's currently no records of subscribers reporting that their vendor's addresses aren't populating in the Mailing address section when creating a new check transaction.

 

I tested this myself in my test drive account and upon selecting a vendor in the Payee field, their address displayed.

 

Here's an image showing my experience:

 

Since your new check transaction screen isn't autofilling vendor mailing addresses when a payee is selected, I'd recommend checking your browser. It's possible this could have something to do with temporary internet files. Browsing applications store these types of records, but sometimes they can cause issues with certain webpages. You can open a private window and check to see if it's working.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode in some of the most commonly used web browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Option P

 

If your mailing address text box populates their information while browsing privately, it's safe to say this problem's being caused by your browser. It can be fixed by clearing cached data and Intuit-specific cookies.

 

In the event it continues occurring while using incognito, you'll initially want to try switching to another browsing application.

 

Here's a list of supported browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 11 or newer

 

You can also check a browser's compatibility with your books by utilizing our browser health checkup tool. QuickBooks supports the current and two previous versions of browsers. If you find that you're using an older version, make sure to update it to its latest release. Steps for doing so can be found on the particular company's website.

 

In the event you've found no problems that could be causing this with your browser(s), I'd recommend trying a different device and/or internet connection. If it continues happening on other devices and/or internet connections, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

Address not appearing on checks

Hi @ZackE 

 

I really appreciate the detailed follow up with the video animation. 

As a follow up to that: I tried through an Incognito browser window and the issue is gone. So, as you stated, it must be my cached files. 

I'll mark your reply as the accepted solution. Cheers!

I recently switch to QB online and also have this problem.  The vendor's addresses is not populating in the Mailing address section when creating a new check transaction.  Even though it is listed in the vendor record.  Please help.

I can help you with resolving the error you're having when trying to create a check, @mihide

 

You can try the steps provided by ZackE above to resolve the problem when trying to populate the Mailing address section when creating a new check transaction. 

 

A regular browser's cache stores temporary internet files from your browsing history. However, as it collects too many files, this may cause performance issues in your account. I've got some steps to help fix this issue. First, you'll have to sign in to your QBO account using a private browser. This helps isolate the issue since it doesn’t store data in the cache. 

 

Here are the following keyboard shortcuts: 

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N

 

If it works, here's how to clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Once you're done clearing your browser's cache, restart your browser for the changes to take effect. If not, try using other browsers.

Stay in touch if you need further assistance writing an expense. I’m always glad to help in any way I can. Have a great rest of the day!
