How do I see which bills are due in QuickBooks Online if the dashboard reminders link stops filtering to only due bills?

Hello, I used to see only bills that were due when I opened my dashboard. Now they do not. Is there a way I can manually query only the bills that are due. These are setup as Bill Reminders. Thank you.

You can see which bills are due without relying on the dashboard by going straight to your Bills list.

 

  1. Go to All apps, then Expenses & Bills, then Bills.
  2. Select the Unpaid tab.

 

Every bill on this tab shows whether it's due later, due soon, or overdue, so you can see what needs attention without any extra filtering.

 

If your bills come from Reminder-type recurring templates

Keep in mind a reminder isn't a bill yet. It's a prompt to create one on a schedule you set, for something like a bill whose amount changes each time. To review your reminders:

  1. Go to All apps, then Accounting, then Recurring transactions.
  2. Select the Reminder List to see all of your active reminders, or find one in the main list and select Use in the Action column to review its details and create the actual bill.

 

Once a reminder becomes a real bill, it moves onto the Unpaid tab, where you'll see its due status alongside all your other bills. Checking the Unpaid tab directly gives you a consistent view of what's actually due, regardless of how any dashboard widget happens to be displaying reminders at a given moment.

Hello there, @jbooze1.
 
Currently, showing the amount due on your bills in the dashboard is unavailable. In the meantime, we can go to the Expenses tab and filter the list to show the open bills.
 
Here's how:
 
  1. Go to the Expenses menu.
  2. Select the Expenses tab.
  3. Click the Filter drop-down arrow.
  4. From the Type drop-down, choose "Bill."
  5. In the Status drop-down, select Overdue.
  6. Enter the date, then click Apply.

 

I'd also recommend sending feedback to our product development team. We take suggestions when looking for product improvements and ways to enhance QuickBooks. I'll guide you on how.
 
  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Profile, select Feedback.
  3. Enter your suggestion.
  4. Hit Next.

 

I've added this link about paying bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO): Enter bills and record bill payments.
 
Please let me know if you have other questions about past-due bills in QuickBooks. I'm always happy to help. Take care.
