Good morning! I am looking a report that provides the name that is printed on the check. Sometimes the "PRINT NAME ON CHECK AS" is different than the vendor name. I have not been able to locate a report option that provides this. Thank you in advance!

The "Print name on check as" field isn't available on any report, as far as I've been able to determine.

 

What is it you're trying to get done?

Can you please advise how do I add " Print on Check" as field to any report?


I know a way how to add " Print on Check" as a field on a specific report in QuickBooks Desktop, Ebenidze.

 

The "Print name on check as" field is unavailable on any report. We can follow the recommended solution of 

BigRedConsulting. Just create a custom field in the vendor profile in the additional info tab. From there, enter the Print on Check for your vendor. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Vendor menus, then select the Vendor Center.
  2. Double-click any profile on the list to open and edit it.
  3. Select the Additional Info tab. Then select Define Fields.
  4. Name your custom field in the Label column.
  5. In the Use for the column, select the checkbox to add the custom name field to vendor profiles.

 

 

Once done, you can run a Vendor Contact List report. Then, add the custom field in the report. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to Reports on the top menu.
  2. Choose Vendors & Payables.
  3. Click Vendor Contact List.
  4. Tap the Customize Report tab.
  5. Hit the Display tab.
  6. In the Columns field, type Print on Check
  7. Press OK

 

 

 

In this particular situation, I recommend sending a message to the product engineers to let them know you'd like to have the option to add " Print on Check" as a field to any report. Here's how to get your feedback submitted:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.
  2. Click Product Suggestion.
  3. Choose a feedback type and product area on the QuickBooks Feedback window.
  4. Enter your suggestion or feedback, name, and email address (optional).
  5. Select the Send Feedback Online.

 

For future reference, read through this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop. It helps you learn about how to use filters so you can get the details you want in a report.

 

Let me know in the comment section if you need more help in accomplishing your other QuickBooks tasks. I'll be right here to keep assisting. You have a good one.

Has anyone made any progress on this in QB Online?  We just signed up for Positive Pay with our bank and keep getting exceptions because the name printed on the check does not match what is in the register.  Instead of waiting for exceptions it would be so helpful to run a report that shows Company name, Vendor display name, and Name to print on checks and find the mismatches.  Otherwise I have to edit every single customer to see if there is a mismatch.  Help!?

No,  QB Online has made no improvements in this area.

Has there been any improvement to the memorize reports tab. I am having the same issue where I can't change the report to show "name as in check" having over 300 employees and having to edit every positive pay is a bit time consuming.

QB Online has made no improvements in this area. Generally QB Online reports are still much weaker than QB Desktop reports.
