How can I create a report in QB on line that will show accounts receivable payment history (payee, check number, deposit date) sorted by payee?

You can pull up the Transaction List by Customer report, Gstraka. It'll show you the details like an invoice, payment, and deposit per customer. 

Let me guide you:

1. Click Reports.
2. Enter Transaction List by Customer in the Find report by name field.

You can also customize the report to help you focus on the details that matter to you.

If there's anything else that you need, don't hesitate to let us know. We're right here to help you. Keep safe!
