When I pay bills can I see the bill date and not the due date?

Hello, @usher.

Thanks for visiting the Community.

The due date appears so you'd know how much time is left for you to pay the bills. At this time, there isn't an option to hide the due date and only show the bill date.

I can see how this feature to include the bill date when paying bills in QuickBooks Desktop. Rest assured, I'm taking note of this suggestion for future enhancement.

Is there a way to show the bill date and the due date? 

Yes you can. What i do is i set up a new TERM. I name it Cash Term and set Net Due in 0 Days. Every time i enter a bill, i will choose Cash Term. In this way, it will mirror the Invoice date as Due date in the system, making it easier for me if i want to pay by certain date.

I have attached a sample picture. Hope this helps.

This is a great work round

You’re always welcome, manager.

I’m glad to hear that the workaround provided by my colleague had you see the bill date and the due date in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Rest assured that every concern posted in this forum is addressed accordingly.

Please don’t hesitate to come back if you have any QuickBooks-related concerns. Have a good one

I have multiple bills from one vendor that are all due and the same date.  

It would be wonderfully efficient to be able to customize the columns in Pay Bills & be able add a "BILL DATE" column between the "DATE DUE" & "VENDOR".  Thank you for the description on  how to get this information via reports so no need to repost the same info.  When I pay bills, it would be handy to have the "BILL DATE"  available on the display especially when I am looking for a mistake.

I understand the importance of this feature to your business, @Charlene69.
