Check stubs (Bill Payment)

When we print a check for an AP payment, the stub shows the Invoice date, the Type (Bill), Reference, the Original Amount, the Balance Due, the Discount,m and the Payment Amount.  The problem is that the Original Amount and the Balance Due are the same amounts, and it confuses vendors or recipients of the check because they think the Balance Due is what is left owed after the payment. Normally, one would assume the Original Amount, less Payment  would then equal Balance Due. 

 

I went into the Bill Payment template to modify the template for check stubs to make it match the logical way of looking at these totals, but I could not figure out how to do this ... the template for the Bill Payment Check is not shown, just a full page of the Bill Pay template. I can't seem to find a template for the Bill Pay checks. Is there a template for the check stubs?

 

Does anyone know how to modify the check stub to eliminate this confusing presentation and to make the "Balance Due" show the amount remaining due after the payment being made? I can't figure out why QB would make the stub look like this unless the designer never worked in AP and had no idea how people would look at this.

 

And, for the response from QuickBooks Team members, yes, I do know how to submit Feedback to the designers of the system. Over the years I have given them many things that they have managed to ignore quite successfully.
