Why do vendor checks get more than the "name to print on checks" field values & the mailing address

Welcome to the Community, Mark. I'll be happy to assist you in printing your checks today.

Having the option to customize a check format is a time-saving feature when added to the program. However, editing a check template is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online.

But the good thing is that you can purchase pre-printed checks from us, which you can customize to your desired preferences. If you want to try this, feel free to visit this link anytime: Small Business Supplies from Intuit Market | QuickBooks

In the meantime, you can visit our QuickBooks Blog for our latest innovations. 

Additionally, you can check this article to learn how to reprint any check or sales form: How to reprint checks.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about QuickBooks. I'll be glad to share additional information and help. Keep safe.

A standard formatting feature in Quickbooks Desktop was to have the Account Number printed on the vouchers ahead of the description.  Under QB Online, the preview checks is "showing" the check as if this information was going to be added to the check.  When will this feature be enabled in QBO?

I can see how important it is to maintain consistent formatting between QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online (QBO) for ease of transition and clarity.

The ability to print the account number on vouchers before the description is indeed a standard feature in QuickBooks Desktop. While the preview functionality suggests that this might be possible, it hasn't been fully rolled out yet.

Thus, I encourage you to send your feedback to our product engineers:

1. Go to Settings and select Feedback.
2. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
3. Select Next to submit feedback.

Although there is currently no official timeline for the introduction of this specific feature in QBO, Intuit regularly updates its software in response to user feedback and requirements.

In the meantime, you can use preprinted checks that include account numbers. These forms are customized and printed easily from QuickBooks, saving you time while giving that professional look to your forms.

Moreover, if you'd like to generate an uncleared check report, please refer to this article: Run an uncleared check report in QuickBooks Online.

I share your anticipation for seeing this feature implemented in QuickBooks Online, as it would maintain consistency and potentially streamline the accounting process. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out—I'm here to help.
