How do I get credits to show up as individual line items on check payments to vendors?

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, cherylrbarnard.
 

I can certainly understand how an ability to have credits show up as individual line items on vendor check payments could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

I've included a detailed resource about vendor check payments which may come in handy moving forward: Pay bills
 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

RE: Is there a way in QB to get the credits to show up as individual line items on the check payment versus just less the amount in the check payment?

Yes, when you print bill payment checks - with the voucher - after paying bills where credits or discounts are applied, that detail prints on the voucher.

Here's an example, after paying three bills and applying a credit to each one:

Why would you send a customer to submit a suggestion for something QuickBooks already does?  Please clarify how that is helpful?

This feature would be amazing. 

BigRedConsulting - I think that the ability to show the credits might be linked to which version of QB is in use, or maybe what version.  I am at a client's and their version does not allow for credits to show on the receipt portion of the bill pay.  QB even has a note that tells the operator that the credits did not show up on the invoice.  It really is annoying, especially since there is a note that comes up, so QB knows that it poses a challenge to both AP and AR.

I am not sure which version the client is on, it is likely an older version, but fingers crossed that this feature is available with newer versions, as you noted that it is available with your version. 

That's a different case, the case where a bill is paid entirely by a credit. In that case it is not linked to a bill payment check and so doesn't show up on a bill payment check voucher when you print it.

However, if the check partially pays a bill which is also partially paid by a credit, then it will appear when you print the check as shown in the image from my other post.

Good distinction, thank you.

In the case of 100% payment, it would be nice if they could be included in the remittance.
