How do i set the deafult on the bills/pay bills page so that it shows outstanding bills per supplier alphabetically, it used to list them this way, now it defaults to listing them by due date and eveytime I open the page I need to recustomise it to show the outstanding bills per supplier and I want to set this (showing outstanding bills per supplier alphabetically) as the default.

Hello there, Ailbhe.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) currently does not provide an option to permanently set the default sorting on the Pay Bills page.

 

As a workaround, you will need to manually sort the outstanding bills alphabetically by supplier each time you access the Pay Bills page, as QBO defaults to sorting by Due Date. This sorting process must be repeated every time you reopen the page.

 

Alternatively, you can set up a Custom Report to display and organise outstanding bills alphabetically by supplier, which you can refer to regularly.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Reports section in the left-hand menu.
  2. Select Custom reports.
  3. Click Create new report in the top-right corner.
  4. Select a report type to customise, such as a bill report.
  5. Use the Filter option next to Columns to organise the data by supplier alphabetically.
  6. Save the report.

 

For more detailed instructions on exporting the customised report in QBO, you can check out this article: Customise reports.
