Payment methods not applying to bill

Hi, @selibim. I am here to ensure you can obtain the information about the payment method on QuickBooks Desktop reports.

I understand how essential it is to efficiently see the payment method of the report you want to run. However, the Vendor Purchase report won't display your payment method details as it shows transactions  

I know the importance of determining the payment type in your required report immediately. As the bill payment transactions themselves reflect the mode of payment utilized, the payment method details will not reflect in the QuickBooks Desktop reports. Hence, it is a typical QBDT behavior.

I advise sending our software engineers feedback. Future product updates might include a QBDT feature that displays payment methods in each report you run.

Here's how:

1. Select the Help icon, then Send Feedback Online option.
2. A pop-up window appears. Click the Product Suggestion option.
3. Type in your feedback suggestion then hit Send Feedback button to submit.

Reports in QBDT can be exported to Excel as workbooks, CSV spreadsheets, or PDFs. This way, we'll be able to add information like the payment methods of your transactions. Check out this article for the steps: Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'll also share the following articles with you, which you could find helpful when handling your reports in QuickBooks in the future:

• Create, access, and modify memorized reports
• Combine statements from multiple company files

Feel free to revisit us if you require further assistance with reports or have any QuickBooks-related concerns. I always look forward to helping you again. Have a profitable year with QuickBooks!

RE: I am having an odd issue with Quickbooks reporting, specifically when I select Vendor Purchase report and

select a payment method, it says 0 despite bill payments despite payments having been made. 

This is because bill payments, made either by check or credit card charge, do not have a payment method from the payment methods list. The Payment methods list is used for payments received from customers, usually on Payment transactions, and can also be included on Deposit transactions.

Note there is no reason or point of putting in a suggestion to change this, as it'll never happen.
