How do I set up payments to bondholders and be ale to run reports?

I need to set up reoccurring payments to our bond holders. I read one article that suggested to use the loan manager. I can make that work, however its seems there might be a more simple way of doing it. I have the bondholders set up as customers currently. My main objective is to be able to run a report that shows how many payments are left and amounts.

@ShyMae @Kurt_M  This might be an odd question, but was loan manager removed? I know that we updated to the 2024 QB desktop and maybe it was lost. Or perhaps I changed a setting that removed it?

Hi, Sam. Allow me to chime in on this thread.

 

Loan Manager was discontinued in QuickBooks Desktop 2022. However, you can still use Loan Manager in previous, currently supported versions. Also, you can consider using a third-party application as an alternative. 

 

Additionally, you can check these helpful articles about personalizing your reports: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
