Printing an account number on a check

We were pushed into Quickbooks online so the president could view from his computer. It is way more problematical than Quickbooks desktop 2018. Also I still use Quicker 2015 for my rental property and it works better than the current 2024 version of Quickbooks online. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE DISCRASE THAT WE CAN'T SET UP A VENDOR AND HAVE OUR ACCOUNT NUMBER AUTOMATICALLY PRINTER ON THE CHECK. tHE LACK OF THIS ONE FEATURE PUTS quickbooks 2024 at 10 to 15 YEARS OUT OF DATE. Shame on Intuit. Richard

Printing an account number on a check

I know how challenging it is when a feature you're looking forward to isn't available, @Richard1121. Let me offer workarounds to help you print your account number on checks in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and address your vendor setup issue.

 

Currently, there isn't a direct way in QBO to print your account number on checks. However, you can enter it instead in the Memo field so it will show up on your checks.

 

To do that:

 

  1. Go to + New and select Checks.
  2. Enter the necessary information.
  3. Scroll down to the Memo field and enter your account number.
  4. Click Save and Close.

 

Alternatively, consider purchasing pre-printed checks that can be customized to include your account number and other details. This option provides flexibility and ensures your checks meet your specific needs.

 

While the feature to include an account number on checks is unavailable, I encourage sending your feedback to our software engineers so they can consider bringing this feature to life. To do that, click the Give Feedback option directly on the Print Check page.

 

Regarding your inability to set up a vendor, we can troubleshoot your browser to clear the outdated cache that causes the issue. First, open your account in an incognito window. Please see the following keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N

 

Once resolved, you can return to your original browser to clear its cache or utilize another compatible one.

 

Moreover, I'll share this reference if you need to discontinue a check transaction in QBO: Record voided checks in QuickBooks Online.

 

Your input about printing account numbers on checks is valuable and can make a big difference. If you have other similar concerns, the Community page is a great option to ask for assistance. Be safe and well, Richard.
