Can you tell me how to generate a report in modern view of what vendors have been paid this year?

I'd gladly show you how to pull up and customize this modern report, Base.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can run and personalize the Transaction List by Date report to generate the vendor totals that have been paid this year. I'll show you how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Type in Transaction List by Date in the Search field.
3. Under Report period, select Custom. Then, type the correct dates (this year).
4. Select Group by and then type in Vendor in the Search field. You can either choose Vendor or Vendor (Hierarchy).
5. Click the Filter icon.
6. On the first field, select Transaction type.
7. Retain equals on the second field.
8. On the third field, select the expense transactions.
9. Once done, hit Refresh report to generate the correct data.

For more details about utilizing the modern view, please see this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online using modern view.

Aside from that, you can also run the Expenses by Vendor Summary report in the Classic view to see all payments you made to your vendors.

Additionally, you can memorize your reports in QBO to save the customized settings so you can easily pull them up in the future.
