Just switched over to QBO and started entering bills. Although I entered the invoice number in the memo, no memo shows up when I print the checks. Can anyone help?

I’ll walk you through the steps to print the memo from a bill to check in QuickBooks Online.

I can see the importance of being able to automatically sync the memo on the bill payment check. Since the invoice number you’ve entered doesn't reflect, we can reenter them instead.

Here’s how:

1. Go to Expenses, then select Expenses.
2. Open the bill that has the memo you want to appear on printed bill payment check.
3. Take note of the entire memo, I recommend to copy it (to paste later on the bill payment).
4. Select Save and Close.

After that, let’s pay the bill and print the payment check. I’ll show you how:

1. Select + New.
2. Under Vendors select Pay Bills.
3. Select the bill you copied the memo from.
4. Enter the correct amount then select Save and print.
5. In the Print Checks screen, select the Bill Payment (Check).
6. On the Bill Payment screen, go to the Memo field and enter or paste the memo.
7. Verify you have the correct Starting check #.
8. Select Preview and Print then Print.

You can read about when the memo field will and won't print not print to learn more about certain transactions and its alternate option if this field is unavailable.

Thank you for walking me through the process. Although, it seems like an awful lot of steps to do especially since I enter and pay multiple bills at one time. Maybe this is one of the features that QuickBooks can improve upon? I've read a lot of similar comments/complaints and this work around is a very not quick or easy way to do things. Thanks again for your response!

That's a great idea, @JEG8.

I understand that each company has unique needs, and that having short and concise steps can help you perform it easier. I can also see how a short process of entering multiple bills would benefit you and your business.
