Hello @PIN11,

 

You can customize your report to see the vendor names of your expenses. Let me show you how.

  1. Go to Reports.
  2. Select Expenses by Vendors.
  3. Click Customize.
  4. Under Rows/Columns, select Names.
  5. Click Run report.

But if your report already shows the Name column and vendors are still not showing, consider logging in to your account and pulling up the same report using an incognito or private browser. To do so:

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Option P

If the issue persists, you may need to clear your regular browser's cache so the system can start fresh. Or use a different browser to pull up the same report.

If you have any other questions, please let me know in the comments below. I'll be here to lend a helping hand.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Good info for future use.

 

Unfortunately, the report still isn't correct. It is totally missing vendors altogether. I've even selected the missing vendors and ran the report separately on them.  Even though we had bills and made payments, they are not showing on the expense report. There must be a bug.

I have cleared cache, gone incognito, and my Expenses by Vendor Summary report is missing vendors is missing.

I appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting steps, @hatethis4. Let me share some workarounds to help you get past this issue.

 

If you find missing vendors in your Expenses by Vendor Summary report, it's likely due to an incorrect Report period. Ensure you've set it to "All Dates," and then click "Run report" to display all vendors.

 

If the problem persists, I recommend contacting our support team to investigate the matter further. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Click on the Help icon in the upper right corner.
  3. Select Search, then Contact Us.
  4. Type in your issue or concern and hit Continue.
  5. Choose a way to connect with them.

2024, April, and I'm having the same problem.

Cleared my cache, no change

Went incognito, no change

Changed report period to All Dates and it did change the report BUT it didn't add any of the missing vendors.

I've confirmed the missing vendors are located in the Vendor Report, and their name was used in writing the payments, but they aren't on this Expenses by Vendor report.

Very Frustrating.

Intuit... please fix this.  We pay good money for this online version which is supposed to be better than our desktop version... not sure it is.
