Check detail report with Print as Name and not the Vendor name

ema2 · ‎September 13, 2023

I need to pull a daily check detail report that has the "Print As" not the "Pay to the Order of" listed along with check number and amount paid. This is for a positive pay report that is required by the bank. When I print the daily check detail report, it only lists under Name on the check as "Pay to the Order of" but the check is written out to a different name. It has to be the exact name that is printed on the check, not the vendor or "Pay to the Order of". For example: vendor is F/V Ann but check is printed as: Ann Sportfishing. We cannot change the vendor name to match "Print As" due to a different regulatory agency's requirement.

QuickBooks won't include the Print As name on transaction based reports, like a list of checks.

However, you can use our BRC PositivePay file Creator - QB Desktop to create positive pay files that do include the Print As name. It supports over 160 file formats tailored for specific banks.

If also offers the ability to customize your own file format, which is useful if your bank's requirements are rather simple and straightforward. .

We're also adding more formats all the time, so if your bank isn't listed we can probably add it for you.

Once I create the Excel spreadsheet with the list of checks, I just edit the vendor's name to read the payee's name before I save it and upload to Positive Pay.

After I create the Excel spreadsheet of checks written, I edit the vendor name to read the payable to name before I upload it to Positive Pay. A bit of a pain, but better than being contacted via Positive Pay every day. Hope this helps.

This is absolutely the most disappointing response I've seen so far. Quickbooks is the #1 used accounting software and the answer from QB is to purchase another software to create a report using data that is stored in QB??? This is an absolute ludicrous answer from QB. I believe QB should keep up with the times and security requirements of large market banks. Even our small local banks now require Positive Pay reports on all business checking accounts.

You must do better QB. This information is ALREADY IN YOUR PROGRAM, yet you are requiring end users to do double work after entering the information in your software. Users must either manually adjust the names on their check report, or purchase another software? Unacceptable.
