Hello, I am now trying to find a report that has the Supplier Bill Descriptions included - these are really important to me as I put details of the type of spend - but if I can't get them out of qb in a report I really need to think about not using the bill functionality in this way - HELP? Why have you a field that we can see in a report.  Is there a new report as previous posts refer to one that no longer exists?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, KatL. I understand that you use the bill description field to input details about your spending types. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

 

When generating bill-related reports in QBO, the program primarily displays information from the Memo field of a Bill. In the meantime, I recommend entering the details about the type of spend in the Memo field to include information you need in your reports, as desired.

 

Given the significance of the information you're including in the Description field, I encourage you to submit a product suggestion regarding the inclusion of this info on reports. You could influence future updates and enhancements in QuickBooks. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions, explaining why this feature is necessary and how it would benefit your business.
  3. Click Next to proceed.

 

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with utilising the QBO-reporting feature, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. We're always here to ensure you get the most out of your QuickBooks experience.
