Item Name Not Showing Up on Some Reports

I am running the 'Transaction List By Vendor' report, which is found in the 'Vendors and Payables' section. Using customize report/display, I check both the 'item' and 'item description' fields so they will show on the report.  However, both of these fields show up as blank.

 

If I run a report under the Job Costing section called 'Job Costs by Vendor and Job Detail' and I similarly select 'item' and 'item description,' they show up on that report.

 

Clearly, the data exists.  I am trying to figure out why it is not showing up on the 'transaction list by vendor' report.  I am trying to create a listing of all items purchased by vendor, and this is the logical report to use.

 

Thank you!

Item Name Not Showing Up on Some Reports

Hello there, 

 

The Transaction List by Vendor report includes Chart of Accounts. That said, the Item and Item Description isn't available in this report. 

 

However, we can run the Expenses by Vendor Detail report to show the Item and Item Description. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Click the Reports menu.
  2. Select Company & Financial, and then select Expenses by Vendor Detail.
  3. Click the Customize Report button.
  4. Select Item and Item Description data under the Display tab.
  5. Click OK.

 

In case you want to save the same settings of the report, you can memorize it.

 

Feel free to get back to me if you still need my help. Stay safe!
