Hey there, Treasurer490.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about printing checks. Your feedback helps us create a better experience for all of our customers.

Allow me to join the conversation and provide some additional information about this.

Currently, there’s not an automatic way of having the check number to appear in the memo field. While we don't have this option available, I’ll submit this idea on your behalf to our product engineers.

They love to hear your voice as well. I recommend sending your request to the development team. They're always considering customer suggestions when deciding what to include in future updates.

Here's how:

Go to QuickBooks at the top menu bar, then choose Preferences.
On the Preferences pane, select Feedback.
Mark the box for Enable sending usage data to Intuit.
Close the Preferences window.

This information should point you in the right direction.

Should you have any questions or concerns, post a comment below. I'll get back to assist you further. Have a good one.

If you are using voucher style checks then use the reference number field on the bill for the invoice number.

We are using wallet checks. Will the Ref. No. field work with those?

SkinnyRaven · ‎December 10, 2018

No that only shows on the voucher. I'm not at my Mac right now but check and see if you have access to the memo field if you edit the check from the register.

johnrknoerle · ‎December 10, 2018

Yes. I didn't realize you could print checks from the register. If I do so will QB know to credit the payment to the proper vendor in Pay Bills?

SkinnyRaven · ‎December 10, 2018

From pay bills use the to print option, then edit the memo field before printing.

johnrknoerle · ‎December 10, 2018

I'm afraid that's the problem. There is no memo field under the print option of Pay Bills.

SkinnyRaven · ‎December 10, 2018

I meant after using the to be printed option from pay bills, edit the bill payment check in the register and add the memo entry.

johnrknoerle · ‎December 10, 2018

OK, thanks. I'll try that.

What QB Help has done a very poor job of is to explain how the Pay Bills and Check Register work together!

SkinnyRaven · ‎December 10, 2018

Also look at file>print forms>bill payment stubs and see if that will work for you.

SkinnyRaven · ‎December 10, 2018

Make you invoice number entry in the memo field on the check.

johnrknoerle · ‎December 10, 2018

The problem is, at least as I am writing checks under Pay Bills, there IS no memo field to fill out. I know I'm supposed to print checks under Transactions somehow but the tutorial is poorly written.

Any ideas?

I think its ridiculous that I would have to copy and paste every check from the memo field during printing that I already entered when I entered the bill
