How do I print remittance advice for a check payment to a vendor that contains dozens of invoices/credits?

We have a number of vendors that we pay monthly and they have dozens of invoices & credits.  I need to send them remittance advice so they know which items to clear from our account.

How do I print remittance advice for a check payment to a vendor that contains dozens of invoices/credits?

I can assist you in printing the remittance advice to vendor eblake. This way, they can review which items to clear from our account.
 

There is no option for Remittance Advice in QuickBooks Online US. But don't worry; there are alternative ways to print out multiple invoices and credits paid by check through a vendor. We can generate two reports: the Transaction Lists by Vendor and the General Ledger report. We will customize these reports and import them to Excel.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Reports, and select Reports.
  2. Enter the Transaction lists by vendor and General ledger report.
  3. Tap Customize and select the info you need, like the date, and filter the data you need.
  4. Press Run report.
  5. Click Export to Excel.

 


 

To obtain the General Ledger report, follow the same steps. Access the software's reporting feature and select the General Ledger report. Once the report is generated, you can customize the necessary information by filtering the data or selecting specific columns to display and export to Excel.

 

In QuickBooks, keeping track of business expenses and accounts payable is simple with the program's built-in vendor reports. The software also offers customization options to meet specific business needs.


Don't hesitate to contact me with any other concerns about QuickBooks Online. I'll be around to help. Have a great day!

This is utterly ridiculous.

You can't use QB Billpay to pay multiple bills to one vendor . You can sign up for a Melio account with the feature and integrate it with QBO. Make sure to click "Notify vendor" if you want to let your vendors know the payment is on its way.

You can also get $100 cashback to pay the first bill. Make sure to click Get $100 cashback button to sign up.

This is the most ridiculous thing ever.  Why can you print a remittance advice for a credit card payment but not a check.  This needs to be fixed.  Almost every business pays multiple invoices with a single check.

The remittance advice prints on a voucher check.  You can also reprint it by going to the Bill Payment (Check) under the vendor, then click 'Print check' on the bottom, then click 'Preview and print' and either reprint it or download it.

We’ve had the same problem as well.

 

If it helps, we started using a QuickBooks Online app called Remittance-Advice.com. It's an authorized app on the Intuit app marketplace.

 

It lets us email, download, and print remittance advice for bill payments, both individually and in batch. It’s saved us a ton of time. Hope that helps!

You have to be kidding me!  QB doesn't allow remittance advice emails to vendors for ACH payments?  This definitely needs to be fixed.  We pay vendors sometimes up to 15 invoices on one check.  We wanted to try and move all vendors to ACH.  There's NO way we can do this if we can't send them a remittance for how to credit our ACH payment.  I guess it's not a surprise why most of our customers (from whom we get weekly remittances with their ACH payment) have moved on to other software.  This is a super basic accounting function and should have been fixed long ago. HELP!

 

We use QB Enterprise.

Hey there, @Please Be Accurate

 

Welcome to the Community! 

 

The option to process and print remittance advice is currently offered to the UK and international versions of QuickBooks. We don't have a specific time frame regarding the availability of the feature.


For QuickBooks Desktop US, you can only print the expense transactions like the paid bills and send it to your vendor afterward.

 

Reach back out if you have any other questions. I'm only a post away if you need me. Take care!

We FOUND a "work around" for printing remittance for vendors!!!! 

 

My instructions below are using QB Enterprise Desktop.  

 

When in the bill payment screen, next to method "direct deposit" select "To be printed."  After the direct deposit it sent, go and print the "check" which will include all remittance detail.  A check number is required so we put in YYYYMMDD to stay consistent (example for today, April 26: 20240426).  Then I print the "check" to a .pdf and email to the vendor.  It's awkward and should be WAY easier for as much as we pay QB.  But at least it gets it done.

Have the same problem here. Paying more that a handful of invoices on a single check or ACH is ridiculously hard.  I'm so tired of this software getting worse rather than better.

Thanks for joining the Community and getting involved with this thread, trjames74.

 

With QuickBooks Bill Pay, you can save time and schedule multiple bill payments in one step. With this process, multiple bills for your same vendor can be combined into one payment.

 

Here's how schedule multiple payments in one step:
 

  1. In the left navigation bar, go to Expenses, then Bills.
  2. Create a new bill or go to your existing unpaid bills under the Unpaid tab. Be sure to mark your bills you want to pay using their available checkboxes to the left of each bill. When you're finished, click Schedule payments. You can also use your New option, then hit Pay Bills, mark which bills you want to pay, and press Schedule payments.
  3. Choose a bank account you want to use as the funding source. If you don't have an account, you can pick Select account to add one. In the event you want to update to a different bank account, click Change account.
  4. Hit Manage for each payment to update your delivery details/withdrawal date. If the vendor already has delivery details, Intuit will use them again. In the event your vendor is a Payable Network Member, you won't need to add this information. If the vendor's QuickBooks Business Network info needs to be updated, you'll need to contact them to update their ACH payment info in their QuickBooks first, then you can complete your payment.
  5. Hit Apply to all to apply a withdrawal date to all payments in a batch.
  6. Click Continue and review the payment.
  7. Select Schedule payments.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about paying bills which may come in handy moving forward: Learn about QuickBooks Bill Pay

 

If there's any questions, I'm just a post away. Have an awesome Monday!
