how can I do a report for a specific vendor to see what we paid them ytd

I'll outline the step-by-step guide on how to run a report showing the vendor totals in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @businessmgr1.

You can generate the Expenses by Supplier Summary report to view all the payments made to your vendor. To do that:

1. Go to Reports and search Expenses by Supplier Summary.
2. Click Customise.
3. In the Report period dropdown, select This Year-to-date.
4. Go to the Filter section and select the vendor's name in the Supplier dropdown.
5. Click Run report.

For additional details about the process, I'll share this article: Run a report with supplier totals in QuickBooks Online.

Moreover, you'll want to export your reports into Excel files so you can have the freedom to customise them according to your business preferences.
