How to Print Mail Labels in Desktop Enterprise Suite to a Label Printer for Payables

We are using the Windows version of Desktop Enterprise Suite

 

We need to print address labels for all of our payables each week as we are not using window envelopes anymore for security reasons. I would like to purchase a dedicated label printer to do this so that it only prints out individual labels needed. 

 

Can anyone assist with this? Do you need to make a report? Can you print to single labels on a roll?

First, make sure your printer is already set up. No need to generate a report. You can now proceed with printing address labels. You also have the option to print single labels. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to File and choose Print Forms.
  2. Pick Labels and select the labels you want to print.
  3. Tap OK.

  2. Click OK and select the Settings tab.
  3. In the Label Format dropdown, the available sizes will be shown.

Once you've selected a format, QBDT will recognize and apply it.
 

Regarding your second concern, you can select the vendors you want to print labels for on the Select Labels to Print page:

Checking off vendors from a list would be very tedious. You mentioned a report. Can a report be easily made to select all of the vendors from the last payable set without manually having to do anything?

Let me guide you on how you can send feedback to ensure that the idea is passed on to our developers, cdibi.

 

For now, running a report that shows all vendors from the last payable for printing mail labels is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. I recommend sending feedback to let our product team know how important this is for your business. 

 

  1. Go to the Help option.
  2. Select the Send Feedback Online option.
  3. Select the Product Suggestion option—a pop-up window displays.
  4. Enter your feedback suggestion.
  5. Click the Send Feedback button. The feedback is sent.

 

As a workaround, you can use the Transaction List by Vendor reports and customize it to show the information you want in QuickBooks. To do so, follow the steps outlined below:

 

  1. On the top menu, click Reports.
  2. Hover on Vendors & Payables, then select Transaction List by Vendor.
  3. Click Customize Report.
  4. On the Display tab, choose the correct date of the transaction.
  5. Click OK.

 

Once done, export it and then use the file to create vendor labels.

 

Additionally, QuickBooks provides a variety of reports that cater to your business needs. For more information, please see this article for your reference: Understand reports.

 

Learn how you can save a report's customization settings in the future. I've added this article for more details: Create, access, and modify memorized reports.

 

You can always reply if you have any other concerns about printing vendor labels in QuickBooks. I'll be around to help you.

How to Print Mail Labels in Desktop Enterprise Suite to a Label Printer for Payables

So, there is no easy way to print address labels for a list of payables?

 

How about when you are printing the payable checks. Is there a way to print the labels at the same time since it knows the list that you are printing?

We can discuss this with our product designer in QuickBooks Desktop, Cdibi. While some features may not be available within your company, we are committed to providing alternative solutions to ensure a seamless platform.

 

I wanted you to know that the feature to print payable checks and labels in one action isn't available in QuickBooks Desktop. However, We can only print them separately.

 

Also, there isn't a direct way to print the address labels for a list of payables. For now, we can pull up the Transaction list by VendorCustomize the report to display the address of each transaction.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On the top menu, click Reports.
  2. Hover on Vendors & Payables, then select Transaction List by Vendor.
  3. Click Customize Report.
  4. On the Display tab, put a checkmark on the address.
  5. Click OK.

 

Next, print the report by clicking the Print icon above.

 

Furthermore, the most effective way to provide your feedback is through our product designers. They regularly assess user input to maintain a smooth experience on Quickbooks Desktop.

  1. Navigate to the Help section.
  2. Pick the Send Feedback Online option.
