How do I print a bill from QB online? It doesn't give me the option.

@christina-sharps 

It's true, there is no BILL print option in QBO at this time.

The only option I can think of is to use the print menu directly from your browser. But it's not the same as part of the QBO print feature.

The other option is to print the Transaction Journal report from the Bill form. Open the Bill you want to print, click MORE at the bottom and select Transaction Journal. It will give you how you categorize the Bill.

Hi christina-sharps,

Currently, printing a bill is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a workaround, you'll want to run and customize the Transactions List by Vendor report to access the bills of your vendors.  

Here's how: 

1. Click Reports on the left panel.
2. On the search bar, type Transactions List by Vendor.
3. Under the Report period, select the correct date.
4. Click Run Report

For more information on how to customize your report, please check this article: Customize Your Reports in QuickBooks Online.

I'll also pass this along to our product team to let them know your business needs. 

You'll want to match and categorize your bank transaction in QBO: Download, Match, and Categorize Your Bank Transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Reach out to us if you need anything else. I'd be here to help.

do better. Its ridiculous that the largest accounting software in the world has no print feature. 

Seriously why is this not an option, or a priority to immediately fix????

Makes the software a bit of a joke when important basics like this are overlooked

I too would like the ability to print a bill.  Please add this feature in the near future!

Is anyone looking into this?  Such a simple feature and critical.  Either create a print stylesheet so we can print from a browser properly formatted, or introduce a print feature into the drop down menu on an actual bill. This is not a "bonus" feature, this is very basic functionality.

This was posted in Feb 2020, it is now Dec 2020 and there is still NO OPTION to print from the Bill screen. Unbelievable. Get it together guys.

Upvoting this. Please make an option. Having to do double work to enter a bill in QBO and then create a document for our records with the attached invoice that I can then print. You should be able to print everything directly from QBO including attachments to the bill.

Adding to this conversation. EVER EEEEE THING, let me rephrase, all of MY data should be printable and or downloadable. Not being able to pull it out of Online is almost like Data Hijacking. Is there an agreement that I signed that said you now own my data? If that is the case I will be backing out of Online immediately.

IT IS LAUGHABLE!   I too, was just going print a bill for a vendor...  What is QB doing.. 

March 20 2021 and we still can't print an invoice straight after you have made the invoice from the online version of QuicBooks. An extra step is necessary to print your so needed invoice. Going back to the APP I guess.  

Still waiting. Totally ridiculous.

Hi Maria. I'd just like to point out how manipulative a pattern this is. It's obviously contrived by your B-grade product team in an effort to funnel your users into your payment funnel. This cements my impression: Intuit products are legacy garbage.

Well at least they raised all their prices. 

I can't believe this still hasn't been addressed. QBO has so many missteps compared to QBD.

ugh - give us a Print Bill option.

Hi there, LizCBayer.

Thanks for following up on this thread. 

I can see how having the option to print bills in QuickBooks Online would be helpful. I'll do my part and pass this suggestion along the Product Development Team once more. The more attention that is brought to this subject, the more likely there will be change. Many product updates and feature releases come directly from great user recommendations like yours. You can keep any eye out for these types of updates by viewing the QuickBooks Blog.

Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'm always happy to help.

Honestly I can't fathom how a company would think not having a print option for printing bills/invoices is acceptable.  It is absolutely a basic need.  There are so many things QBO can't do that is almost USELESS.  

I also don't see that QB ever listens to the customers and tries to implement anything that we request.  Seriously how difficult could be to add it.  

I hate QBO and try to switch over all my clients to other software but I get new ones where I'm forced to use QBO.  You should be embarassed to call this a complete software for small business.  You STILL can't enter Sale Orders.  It really is absolutely ridiculous.

In the meantime I keep moving your customers off this platform over to something that works.

Hello @XCESEV1,

I appreciate you for dropping by here in the Community about the features you need in QuickBooks. I would feel the same in that situation if performing my basic needs using the cloud-based version of the program is unavailable.

Our product engineers are working diligently for updates and improvements on the features. For now, I recommend sending your feedback straight to our dedicated team to help make changes to QuickBooks Online's capability.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks account.
2. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select Feedback under Profile.
4. Share your feedback.
5. Hit Next. 

You can also check this article for more details about the troubleshooting steps you can perform if you're having issues printing in QuickBooks: Test sequence for PDF printing issues.

Please know that I'm just a post away if you have more questions or concerns regarding the features in the Online version. Take care.

Dear Intuit.

You guys are simply stalling. I cannot understand why you think your hard working customer base can just sit back and take all these wet replies from Intuit. You have been informed of the urgency of this over and over and over.... We need action guys. We are running businesses. It's challenging enough without having to repeatedly persuade you that this item is important.

So please get your finger out and get this sorted.

Keith Nichols

Managing Director

Totally agree Gregg. Its hard enough running a business these days without having to deal with stuff like this. All we get is time stalling and patronizing messages from Intuit. I'm not convinced that they understand the problem they are creating for us all.

I figured out in a week of migrating to QB that it was a wrong decision. There are tons of things needs to be addressed. And basic things like printing a bill

I have a lender that needs us to print bills to be emailed.  I was able to do the invoices yesterday.  Why would the same feature that is already built not be available for a different type of transaction.  What is even more ridiculous is that in the vendor window it allows me to click next to purchase orders and print those but then to click on a bill it then grays out the print function.  Help us out, please!

Hi there, sandra68588.

I understand how convenient to have a print bill option. Currently, printing a bill is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Please know that we always take our customers' requests and ideas into consideration when prioritizing feature development.

That said, I recommend sending feedback to our Product Development Team to help improve your QuickBooks experience. When you're ready, here's how to do it:

1. Log in to your QBO account.
2. Go to the Gear icon at the top, then select Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Click Next to complete the process.

As a workaround, you can follow the steps provided by vpcontroller. This way you will be able to print a bill directly from your browser.

Additionally, I've attached this article to help you enter and track receipts and bills: Upload your receipts and bills to QuickBooks Online.

I'm still here if you have other questions with regards to printing bills. Just post your questions here, I'll respond as soon as possible. Keep safe.

Agree with everything said so far by irate customers

This was first raised over a year and a half ago and still no result,.other than platitudes....

This isn't a fundamental change or feature being requested. it's a simple "PRINT" function.

Really disappointing response!
