Is there a way to set up vendor bill payment reminders? I migrated from QB2020 and miss the "reminder" screen where I would be reminded 7 days before a bill was due.

Thanks for getting back to us, @DTA1.

Great question and I believe it is an important feature for QBO to have.

What do you currently do to remind yourself?  And do you have a company that makes enough money to take advantage of bank rates?

For the time being I would set up a spreadsheet with vendors down the left column and dates across the first row (the dates will depend on how often you cut checks/wires).  For example, today is October 6th.  If you pay weekly and vendor terms are 60 days, I would put the amount due in the column that has the row titled Dec 3rd to Dec 9th.

If the business is small enough that you really aren't taking advantage of interest rates, money markets, etc.  Then pay the vendor as soon as you get the bill.  If you don't procrastinate then payments won't slip through the cracks.  Also, I believe that paying vendors quickly goes a long way with the vendor.

Thanks for the response!!

I currently am filing the invoices by due date in an accordion file. I also use a Microsoft to do app to remind me of the really important due dates. I was also using the "reminder" to keep track of things outside of Quickbooks (insurance policy renewals, meetings, etc.)

We are an exceptionally small company who have small business clients. We do not always have the cash flow to pay the bills as soon as we get them (waiting on our customers to pay us). I usually pay the invoices 7 days prior to the due date to avoid any late fees.

My pleasure.  This discussion helps us both out,

I would also recommend scanning invoices and requesting that vendors only email invoices.

I would scan to OCR (to make invoices searchable).

You can make use of the Windows folders.

Create a folder for AP invoices.  Inside that folder have 2 folders, Unpaid and Paid.

In the Unpaid folder, you can create weekly folders (i.e. 10-8-23 to 10-14-23 as the name of the folder, 10-15-23 to 10-21-23, etc.).  Place the electronic invoice in the correct folder based on when the invoice is due.  Once invoices are paid, promptly move them to the Paid folder.
