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.  


Yeah, I was replying to the previous people asking about QB Desktop.  The only thing I can say about Online is that I know I looked a while back and QB Online is supposed to support REST API (I think), so that's an option.  I don't know how hard it is to sign up for a developer account and get keys, etc. to connect to QB Online, but I did something with QB desktop a few years back and it wasn't too bad.  You could find some college kid and give it to them as a project to pull down the info you need.  It's actually disheartening to hear that this isn't available in the online version as I've been looking to move to it and I have to create Check Positive Pay uploads, but I can also say that when we do move to Online we'll be looking into API Access to the company file, etc. for current things we do with desktop.  I'm sure you could reach out to the user above who has the product or if it's "that" big of a deal to you, you can find our company by searching for Adevity and we could potentially help you out with the API stuff.

 

Here's the data for qb online vendor object through the api explorer and print on check is available there...

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?
