Vendor reports

Welcome and thanks for posting in the Community, @JABL.

When you use a check for paying or recording payment for a bill, the two transactions won't link. The bill remains in an unpaid status.

To fix this, you need to perform either of the following solutions:

• Keep the check and delete the bill.
• Link the check to the bill.
• Remove the check and pay the bill.

You can check out this article for the complete details and the step-by-step process: Bill shows as unpaid after writing a check in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once done, you can run the Vendor Balance Detail report to double-check. Here's how:

1. Select the Vendors menu then Vendor Center.
2. From the Vendors list, select the vendor then go to the Transactions tab on the right.
3. Select the Show drop-down then choose Balance Details.
4. Review the transactions.

Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns in the comment section below. I'll be more than happy to help. Have a good one!

Thank you FritzF - I used the "link check to bill" option and it worked.  I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!  This has been a thorn in my side since May w/o the time to dedicate to fixing it correctly.  Have a great day!  JABL

Thank you FritzF!  I chose the "link the check to the bill" option and it worked.  I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!  I've not had the time to dedicate to fixing it correctly and that took no time at all.  Have a great day!  JABL.

You're most welcome, @JABL.

I'm glad that I was able to help you with your concern.
