How do I generate a remittance to email a vendor when I pay them online through ach or wire.

Hello, @melissasupler-gm

You'd want to set up your vendor's bank account manually or invite him or her to enter it in QuickBooks. This way, you can pay a vendor through Bank Transfer or ACH. I can guide you in doing so.

Here's how to add your vendor's bank account:

1. Navigate to the Pay bills online.
   • Go to the + New., then choose Pay Bills Online.
   • Choose the Bill Pay Online dashboard widget.
   • Select the Expense tab then click Pay Bills Online.
2. If the vendor has an open bill, select Set up Bank Transfers within the same line as the Payee. 
3. Select Enter vendor's bank account info,  then click Next.
4. Enter the vendor's bank account information.
5. Click Save.

You can browse this article for more detailed instructions: Set up a bank transfer to a vendor.

Also, if you want to track bill payment in QuickBooks Online that was paid via your bank's website, EFT, ATM, or debit card, you can check this article: Record a bill payment by EFT, ATM card, or debit card.

I'm always around if you have any other questions about recording vendor-related transactions. Feel free to leave a comment below. Have a wonderful day.

That does not answer the original question, which is how to generate a remittance to send to a vendor when we make a payment. Is this possible? Because I have not been able to figure it out. 

Welcome to the Community, NotAParalegal.

I'll be glad to assist you with your concern. 

Generating a remittance email when making vendor payments is unavailable in QuickBooks Online US.

I'd be happy to show you how you can get this info to your supplier.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Expenses tab on the left navigation panel.
2. Click on the bill payment to open it up.
3. Select Print at the bottom of the page, which will open a print preview screen in a new tab.
4. Click the download icon at the top right corner of the page.
5. Once you've saved the download PDF, you can then access your email, and attach the PDF there.

I too would appreciate having the option to email a remittance to my vendors that I pay from my bank (outside of QBO). I find it incomprehensible that this isn't something QBO offers. I tried the instructions given to print the bill payment, however I do not have the option to print when I open the bill payment. Not sure why that is. Has anyone else figured out a workaround that we shouldn't have to do?

I appreciate you chiming in on this thread, JSKCI. I've come to share additional information to help you generate a remittance email to your vendors.

Currently, the option to email remittance when making vendor payments is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. However, you'll want to run a bill-related report and send them to your vendors. You can either open a transaction journal report from a specific bill payment transaction or run a Bill Payment List report as a workaround.

To open a transaction journal report from your bill payment transaction, you can follow the steps below. Here's how:

1. Go to Expenses from the left menu bar and click on the bill payment transaction.
2. Under the Payment Status from the upper-right corner of your Bill, click on Payments made.
3. Select the specific date to open the bill payment.
4. Click More from the bottom part of the transaction and select Transaction Journal.
5. Click on the Email icon to send them to your vendors.
6. Enter additional details and click Send.

You can also run the Bill Payment List report from the Reports menu. To do that:

1. Go to Reports from the left menu bar and enter Bill Payment List.
2. Modify the specific Report period date and select Vendor from the Group by dropdown.
3. Click Customize to add other details to your report.
4. Then, select Run Report.
5. Once done, click the Email icon to send them to your vendors.
6. Add additional information and click Send.

Additionally, you'll want to save and attach a screenshot of your bill payments when sending them to your vendors. 

Furthermore, to help us achieve your goal, I'd suggest sending this feature request to our product developers. This way, they'll consider your suggestion and might include them in future product enhancements.

Here's how to send feedback:

1. Go to the Gear icon.

3. Share your feedback. Then, click Next.

Thank you FateCandyLaneT for pointing me in the direction of reports. Unfortunately, the reports you suggested did not give me the information I was looking for without the need to create three of them for every payment I make. I did, however, find the report "Bills and Applied Payments Report" which does provide the information required AND offers the option to email my vendor from the reports page. This will do until the qbo team implements the ability to save a payment and send the remittance from the payments screen much the way you can when you apply a customer payment to an invoice and can send them a receipt right from that transaction. Hopefully that is coming soon as it is a very basic requirement and one that has me baffled as to why it wasn't available from the start.

Will quickbooks be implementing the ability to send remittances to vendors from US Quickbooks online?  It's 2023 -- how is this not possible?

I understand your frustration regarding the unavailability of this option in QBO, CADUser2023. It's reasonable to have expected this feature to be readily available at this point.

I FOUND A WAY!!!!!!

If you record all Bank Transactions as Cheques and apply them to customer "trade credtors" they go and sit on the supplier. You can then go to the supplier and match the all off together and send a remittance in one hit. I am so happy! 

Hi!

Could you please elaborate on this? I did not quite get it. Thanks
