Unpaid Bills Detail

I'm here to help you get rid of that credits, @mikeshick.

Let's first check if there are open bills where these payments/credits should have been applied to. Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu, click Vendor Center.
2. Right-click the vendor of the bill in question, and pick QuickReport. Set the date to All.
3. Look and double click the bill that shows in the Pay Bills window.
4. If the bill was paid, tap History (or press Ctrl+H on your keyboard) to view the details of how it was paid. If not, proceed to the next step.
5. Go back to the Vendors tab and select Pay Bills. 
6. Open the bill in question, then tick Set Credits.
7. Tap the Credits tab and see if there are available credits.
8. If a credit exists, click the credit and hit Done.
9. Choose Pay Selected Bills.

However, if you still see credits on the Unpaid Bills Detail report, the transaction might be damaged. To fix this, refer to these steps.

Edit the transaction:

1. Create first a backup of the company file.
2. Note the important information of the bill payment check like Date, Amount, and Vendor Name.
3. Open the bill payment check associated with the bill. Change the date to 10 years in the future. Then, Save & Close.
4. Re-open the bill payment check and change the date back to its correct date. Select Save & Close.

If the same thing happens, delete and re-enter the bill payment check and bill:

1. Make a backup of the company file.
2. From the Unpaid Bills Detail report, double-click the payment check.
3. Note the Date, Check Number, and Amount.
4. Press Ctrl+D on your keyboard and then OK to delete.
5. Close the window. Then, go back to the Unpaid Bills Detail report, double-click the bill.
6. Note the Date, Reference Number, Accounts, Items, and Amount.
7. Press Ctrl+D again and OK.
8. Close the currently displayed bill.
9. Re-create the bill and bill payment check using the information from the original transaction.

If the bill payment check has been cleared, create a  mini-reconciliation.

Let me know how this goes and post a reply below. I'm just a post away if you need further help in managing your vendor transactions. Have a good one. 

Thank you.  I think those would have been helpful.  I turned out I figured out what the problem was, mostly by using ctrl+h.  

Thank you so much.

When I go to run my Unpaid Bills Detail report this month, thousands of paid bills from clear back in 2014 show up on my report. How do I get these paid bills off of the current Unpaid Bills report?
