Bills with $0 amount

I have a vendor who supplies items but does not charge. I enter their $0.00 invoice as a bill to have a record of the items received and to assign the proper Class. When I save the bill, it automatically registers as "Paid". However, it does not show up in any of my check registers. When I go back to the bill, it is marked as 'Paid" but no record of the payment. When I run a report for the bill's Class, the $0.00 bill does not show up but bills with a positive balance do show up.

How can I find these $0.00 bill "payments" since they don't show up in any register? 

How do I include them in my Class report for that vendor?

Bills with $0 amount

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:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu and choose Vendors & Payables.
  2. Select Transaction List by Vendor.
  3. You'll see the list each vendor has. Just click the Customize report to select the preferred transaction type and vendor.
  4. Click OK to refresh.

 

I've added this link to help you personalize reports in QuickBooks: Customize reports.
