I wrote two checks for a contractor that are not showing up under his payments? Can anyone tell me why?

Hello, genesiscarpet.

I have a couple of reasons why those checks won't show up under Payments. 

One prime reason is that those checks are likely filtered. Make sure to set the filter options to show the checks. In the Payments section, set the settings to All. 

This will show all transactions made under that contractor. 

Another reason is that those checks might've been recorded under a different profile. In this case, run a Check Detail report to find them. 

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Reports tab.
2. Search for Check Detail in the box.
3. Find the checks in question then select them.
4. Under Payee, change the profile to the correct contractor. 
5. Hit Save and close.
