How can I pay multiple invoices from a single vendor when QBO only allows payment of multiples on a single page? I usually have 3 or 4 pages of invoices to pay.

@Christy1213 

You can explore the free app like the one I mentioned in the previous post to easily manage and pay your bills. Your boss can set up an approval mechanism to ease the process if needed. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer an early payment discount feature yet.

Update... I was able to print multiple invoices on one check with QBO Plus. Very nice.

Hello Christy1213,

 

Yes, you're right. Adding a discount when paying bills is available in the QuickBooks Desktop version. However, this feature isn't yet available in QuickBooks Online.

 

I see how helpful this feature is as well as managing several transactions/payments. Let's send this suggestion to our Product Development team by following the steps below. Our developer will evaluate this idea and might be given a chance implement in the future. 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Enter your suggestion. Then, click Next.

 

We have a workaround that you might consider doing to manage the discounts. We can edit the bills you already created. Then, add the discount as a separate line item. Please note that this process can be done when creating a transaction. Also, the calculation must be done manually.

 

If this workaround does not seem to work for you, we can look for a third-party application to get this done seamlessly, as Fiat Lux - ASIA advised. We can also go to this link to find a third-party application that can be integrated with QuickBooks. Apps for QuickBooks Online.

 

To manage your transactions, we can use this article as a reference: Enter expenses, pay bills, write checks, and manage suppliers.

 

Please let me know if you have more concerns about handling customer and vendor transactions in the program. I'm always here to help in any way that I can.

I think Melio does that so the can charge $1.50 per check.  I agree, I'd like to pay multiple invoices with one check, it's more convenient for my vendor as well.

 

I'll add that Melio seems it's their right to contact my vendors to ask them how they prefer to get paid.  If they answer that they're OK with a one time use debit card, they'll make that the default method and you can't change it.  This is another Melio scam forcing your vendor to pay a 3% processing fee.  They need to stay out of my business...

Hello c ware,

 

So how were you able to print one check for multiple vendor bills? I am having the same issue that you are having. We have three pages of unpaid bills but I can't proceed to the next page without saving the current page so when I save a page it creates a new batch. If a vendor is on two batches then QB will print two separate checks but I only want to print one check. I don't understand why QB doesn't make this easier. Thank you!

Hi sergiog415,

 

I'm here to share more information about printing checks.

 

In QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can only print checks per transaction. With that, we're unable to print one check for multiple vendors.

 

Here's how to print checks in QuickBooks Online:

 

  1. From the + New tab, select Print checks.
  2. Load your checks into the printer.
  3. Select the checking account.
  4. Enter the check number.
  5. Select the checkbox next to each check you want to print.
  6. Click Preview and print.
  7. Select Print.

 

Here are the steps for QuickBooks Desktop:

 

  1. Select Write Checks from the Banking menu.
  2. Click the Print icon.
  3. Select either Check or Batch.
  4. Continue with the on-screen instructions to successfully print the checks.

 

Moreover, in case you encounter an error when printing checks, you can check these articles:

 

 

Keep me posted whenever you have concerns about printing checks.

I was not trying to print one check to multiple vendors but instead want to print one check for multiple invoices for the same vendor. Currently, we have over 300 open invoices so whenever I go to chose the bills to pay I am limited to choosing bills from 1-300 invoices and can not go to the next page unless I click save. Clicking save will then create batch 1 with part of the bills for a particular vendor. The 2nd batch will have invoices for that same vendor that I have selected to be paid as well. When I finally go to print the invoices QB will print two separate checks for that same vendor but I would like to print one check only. How can this be done?

 

Thanks!

I'm willing to bet there is not a way to print one check for all 300+ invoices for the vender. You'll probably just have to send two checks. Also note, that the check stub will not reference all of the invoice numbers, I don't remember the cut off amount, but I think it was around 15 invoice numbers that the check stub will reference. After that it says something like "and additional invoices". I would make a separate spreadsheet referencing all the invoices paid and attached with the check to avoid confusion.

Thank you for the responses but this was an old request.

We use Bill.com now as QBO cannot support multiple invoices payments.

I only selected 4 bills to pay but since they are on different batches then they get printed out on two checks which is really annoying. I don't understand why I can't just go to the next page and select additional bills to pay without having to save. Thanks for the reply.

Let me provide information about paying multiple bills for a single vendor, @sergiog415. Currently, that's how the system works, wherein you can only see the first page of bill transactions whenever you pay multiple bills. As a workaround, you can use the Filters to show a specific vendor only to show fewer bill transactions on a single page. After that, you can continue printing it as a PDF.

 

Furthermore, you can print a packing slip for an invoice you sent to your customer.

 

Let me know if you have further questions about printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop. I'd gladly help you anytime.

QB can print multiple bills on one check so long as the bills that you choose are all on the first 1-300 pages. As soon as I hit save then it becomes a batch and the next page becomes the 2nd batch. The issue is that the vendor bills are on both pages but there is no way to select them together. Thanks for the reply.

I guess the workaround here is the filter by vendor and then chose the invoices for a particular vendor only and then save as a separate batch. It is not ideal but it will work. I just wish we didn't have figure out workarounds for something so common. Thank you for the reply.
