Buy now & saveThis seems ridiculous. Nothing I enter in the memo field during bill entry prints when I print checks. I have not been able to find a work around. As a small organization, we do not typically print more than 5 to 10 checks at a time. It is painstaking to print checks then find out this essential line-item is missing.
In QB Desktop, we had multiple vendors where the memo line defaulted to our vendor account number instead of using invoice numbers.
This is something that should be happening automatically.
Hopefully, I am overlooking something in the QBO settings to make the memo field print properly. If not, we will have to look to moving back to the desktop version.
Hey there, @LCPL.
The memo line on the check is an essential place where you can indicate the reason why you wrote it. It also helps the payee to understand what you're paying for. I'm here to share some little insights on how you can achieve this.
When writing a check, it doesn't copy the bill memo over. As a workaround, you'll want to re-enter the information on the Bill Payment window. See the screenshot below.

At this time you'll have to manually re-enter the message to the Memo field when it's time for you to print the bill payment or check.
