We would like to run a report that includes the Memo field that we populate on the bill when Entering Vendor bills.   We desire to run a report for specific expense account.   We have 2 memo fields.  One that is on the top portion of the bill entering screen.  That is the one we want to add to a report.   There is also a memo field on the bottom half of the screen next to the GL Account.  That field is on the reports we run, but not the other memo field.  The two fields both appear to be called Memo, but can contain different data.

You can customize the column to add the memo column on the report, @MichelleSCR

 

If you’re referring to the Memo field below Terms you just have to customize the report after generating it.

Just go to the Display tab, go to Columns section and click on Memo to add in the report. Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Generate the report and then go to Custom Report button. 
  2. Go to the Display tab and go to Columns and click Memo to add a check mark beside it. 
  3. Click on OK once you're done. 

Check this report for more information: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Yes, I am wanting the Memo that is under the Terms.

We have already customized our reports to include the Memo Column.  However that is showing the data in the Memo field that is between the Amount and Customer job fields in your screenshot.  We have different data in those 2 fields.

Glad to have you back, @MichelleSCR,

 

You can pull up a Transaction List by Vendor report to view expenses with Memos attached to them. This report pull the information from the field below the bill's Terms.

 

Here's how to generate the report:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu, then choose Vendors & Payables.
  2. Select Transaction List by Vendor.
  3. Review the Memo field for each transaction.
  4. If you want to verify if a transaction has an attachment, double-click to open it.

None of you are answering this question.     When I run Income Statement and find an expense account i want to see details on - I double click the amount and it comes up with a report.  It automatically has the memo in it that is part of the CHECK if that is it - or the Upper part on the Bill if it is a bill - - - BUT does NOT have the Memo that is down next to the expense account - - I cannot find how to add that.

 

HELP ME.
