Hello there, mrtownley1.
The bill you created with a zero amount will automatically show as paid because there are no collectible amounts for your vendor, causing the system to mark it as paid. While the bill will affect your inventory, it will not show in the check register because there's no payment associated.
Additionally, you can use the Transaction List by Vendor report to see all transactions for the vendor, including bills and bill payments. Match the amounts to link the bill to its payment.
Here's how:
- Go to the Reports menu and choose Vendors & Payables.
- Select Transaction List by Vendor.
- You'll see the list each vendor has. Just click the Customize report to select the preferred transaction type and vendor.
- Click OK to refresh.
I've added this link to help you personalize reports in QuickBooks: Customize reports.
