We would like to be able to run a report that includes the "customer preferred invoice delivery method" but we don't see this field in any available selection criteria.  Can this be done and if so how.

Hello Sally, thank you for joining the conversation. I'm here to assist you in generating a report that displays the preferred delivery method in QuickBooks.

To do this, you can run the Sales by Customer Detail report and customize its display column to show this info. Let me show you how:

1. Go to Reports and select Sales.
2. Click Sales by Customer Detail.
3. Select Customize Report, then go to the Display section.
4. In the Columns search field, search the Preferred Delivery Method and mark it as check. 
5. Click OK.

You can also memorize reports if you want the same settings of the customized report to be available for future use.

This works only for customer who have an account balance.  If a customer happens to have a zero balance at the moment, they won't show up on this sales report.  I think what most users want is the ability to view a simple report of ALL customers and their preferred delivery method.  Just like the customer phone number report.  Am I right, people??

I'm glad you joined the conversation, @sue139. 

QuickBooks offers a range of customizable reports to meet your business requirements. In addition to the sales by customer detail report, you can use the Transaction List by Customer report to get a comprehensive view of all customers and their preferred delivery method. 

To generate this report and customize it to display the Preferred Send/Delivery Method information, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Choose Customer & Receivables.
3. Select the Transaction List by Customer
4. Click Customize Report.
5. Go to the Display option.
6. On the Columns tab, type-in and select the Preferred Delivery Method.
7. From the Filter tab, select the Preferred Delivery Method.
8. Click OK.
