How can I print the details of a bill I entered?

Hello QB Online, 

My business also needs to print a bill to send to send back to vendors. Do you think this feature will be added in the near future? I like that QB Desktop has this feature. 

Please advise. 

Thank you.

For now, not all features in the Desktop version is already available in QBO, annguyenarg.

We're also unable to provide a timeline when will be added in QuickBooks Online. I recommend checking out this website from time to time to see the later updates and newly added features in the program: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/blog/whats-new/.

In the meantime, you can follow the work around given in the original response on how to print the details of the bill. There's also an option to use an accredited third-party app that offers this type of service. Just go to the Apps menu and proceed to the Find Apps tab. 

The Community is always here if you have other questions.

whats the name of the app?

Hi, did you ever discovered what app they are referring to? We have the same requirement of needing to print our bills to send to suppliers.
Thank you!

We're unable to suggest a specific app, @Kim0987.

I recommend checking out this site: apps.intuit.com or navigating the Apps menu in your QuickBooks Online account. Choose Find Apps,enter your keyword on the search box, and look for an app that will help you print bills. From there, you can read some reviews from other customers, check some commonly-asked questions about it, etc. Please see the screenshot below for visual guide:

Meanwhile, you can follow the workaround given by my peer @AileneA above. Also, I suggest visiting our QuickBook blog page to keep up with the latest news and product updates.

If you wish to personalize the said report, you'll want to customize it. This way, you can save its current customization settings and access it anytime in the Custom reports tab. For more details, please review this resource: Memorize reports in QuickBooks Online.

I'll be around to help if you have more questions about managing your bills in QuickBooks Online. Take care and have a nice day, @Kim0987.

This is pretty crazy, there is no ability in the software to print a bill?!  That is so basic to just be able to print a bill out on a piece of paper.  This is a MAJOR oversight and is something that development needs to prioritize, very simple and basic functionality!

yeah, some of the shortcomings in QBO are just ridiculous.

I have the same need with Quickbooks desktop for Mac.  I don't see how to print just 1 vendor from the transaction list by vendor report.  Currently I create the bill, then screen shot it and paste into an email to the vendor so they can see the breakdown.  The ability to print a bill with detail would be greatly appreciated

Hi there, Desktop Mac Connie.

Thank you for posting here in QuickBooks Community. I appreciate you for performing alternative steps on how to email your vendor so they can see the breakdown since printing a vendor entry from a report is unavailable. I know how precious time is for you, and I recognize the importance of having the ability to print a bill with detail from the transaction list by vendor report in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. This is why we make great efforts to deliver customer satisfaction at all times.

Since we are unable to provide a specific time frame as to when the said option will be available in the future. With this, I encourage you to submit feedback. These requests and suggestions are forwarded to the Product Development Team for consideration in future updates. 

Here's how:

1. Go to QuickBooks at the top menu bar.
2. Select Preferences.
3. From there, choose Feedback.
4. On the Preferences pane, click Feedback and enter your suggestions.

I also suggest visiting our QuickBooks Firm of the Future blog to know about the latest news and updates from QuickBooks Desktop.

Please refer to this article to view steps on how you can customize reports to personalize the font and style of the report so you're able to see the specific data: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

Thank you for your patience while we work for a fix. Please know that you can always get back to this post if you have any other questions with QuickBooks. I'll be more than happy to help you again.

printing a BILL ?!?!?!?! how is this something that needs to be asked for? OBSCENE

Hi. Saw another thread that suggested how to print what you need. Once you save the bill, click More (bottom of screen) > Transaction Journal > Small Gear Icon (Report Settings). Customize it to show what you need and then you can save, print or email.  If you need to use this report frequently or in bulk, you can click the 'Save customization' button. Hope this helps

This does not solve the problem presented!  Please stop offering it as a solution!

While this doesn't print the bill itself, this has been the only workaround that even comes close as it can provide a detailed list of what is on the bill.  Thank you for this! 

We need a solution for this asap. It is ridiculous that QB is constantly mailing, emailing and nagging to join QBO and yet we can't even do the simple task of printing a vendor bill. 

Ridiculous. I need to show a customer a bill, less our commission fees, and even when I do a journal transaction view, it shows the total as THE TOTAL before our negative consignment/brokerage fees. For example, I sold John's item for $6, and the $1 fee goes to us, so I put that in as a negative. The bill shows I owe John $5. I can't click to print, view as PDF, view as email, or ANYTHING. I go to the transaction journal history, and while it does include the negative amounts, the total says $6!!!!! How can I print this and give it to a customer with a check for $5 and not have them question this?!?! I have missed dinner, put my kids to bed, and lost sleep trying to figure this out SO MANY TIMES because I keep thinking, "Surely there has to be some simple way to do this that I'm just missing," before giving up. I finally googled it tonight (I know, should have done it sooner, I take responsibility for that!) and seeing this thread where people have been requesting this since 2020?! I am seething. I have to download excel on my MacBook to create a form JUST for this? JFC. For what I'm paying for QuickBooks? No. Unacceptable. FIX THIS. QB is supposed to make running your business more straightforward, not more complicated. I'm not an accountant, I know, but I thought QuickBooks was for those of us who weren't, so that bookkeeping could be simpler, you know, INTUITive? 

I hope I block out all pertinent info; I just wanted to show what I'm talking about. PLEASE FIX THIS. I own a company where my employees have to hand deliver our customers' checks for things we've sold on their behalf, minus our fees, and they like a receipt of sorts. It's very frustrating that I can't just print this out on the spot when my employees need it. Why? Just, why? & yes, I have the constant onslaught of emails from QB (even though I've already joined), but I also have to dodge CALLS all day. The next time I get a call, believe me, I will answer.
