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?

I am having to create a report for the bank that shows: Check Date Check Number Payee Name - as printed on the check Check Amount Thank you!

Thanks for your response.  I just chatted with intuit for a long time and they verified that there is no way to get a report in QB Online that includes 'Name to be printed on check'.  I set up vendor names to be easy for me to recognize when they had payee names that were not helpful.  I just need a download so I can see the ones that are different and make them match.  Otherwise I am stuck opening up each vendor to see the printed name.  


I know a report that shows the information you need, sbkw.

 

I'm pleased to have you here in the Community. Let me guide you through creating a report that displays vendor payments, bills/invoices, their respective numbers, and statuses.

 

You can generate the Transaction List by Vendor report in QuickBooks Online. That's the report where you can find all the details you need for your transaction. Ensure to apply filters for the necessary details to be displayed.

 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Login to your QuickBooks Online.
  2. Go to your Reports menu.
  3. Select Transaction List by Vendor in the search field.
  4. Choose Customize, then filter the necessary details.
  5. Click Run report.
  6. Press the Small gear icon, then mark the A/P Paid.
  7. Select the Print icon.

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.

To be fair I cannot find this “column” in QB Desktop either. This seems utterly insane. How is QBs so “popular” instead of consigned to the garbage heap?
