In AP, while paying bills, I accidentally selected "Assigned Cheque no." instead of "To be printer" what steps do I need to take to be able to reverse this and go ahead and print the cheques as per normal? (note: I'm a newbie so please don't hold back on even the small details.)

Hello and welcome to the QuickBooks family!

 

I know that starting brand new with a program can mean there are some learning curves, but don't worry, I'm here to help make them as manageable as possible. I'll walk you through this so that you can still print the cheque even though you accidentally selected to have it assign a cheque number instead.

 

The great thing about QuickBooks Desktop in this case is that even though you've selected to "Assign cheque no." instead of "To be printed," you can still open the cheque transaction to print it. Here's how you'd to that.

  1. Select Vendors from the top menu.
  2. Choose Vendor Centre.
  3. Select the vendor the bill payment is attributed to.
  4. Double-click the transaction. It'll read Bill Pmt-Cheque.
  5. Click Print at the top of the Bill Payment (Cheque) window that opens.
  6. Enter the cheque number that's on the paper cheque you're printing onto.
  7. Follow the printing prompts.

Just like that, you'll have the cheque printed and ready to give to your vendor. All the To be printed option does is put the cheque into a print queue through the File menu, where you can choose Print Forms. As you can see, however, it's still possible to print the cheque even if you didn't select that queue!

 

That should get you on your way. For your reference, here are a couple of articles about working with bills in QuickBooks Desktop.

Feel free to browse the QuickBooks Community for more help articles like these. When you're reading through an article, just make sure it's attributed to QuickBooks Desktop. Sometimes it'll say so in the title, like the articles above, but otherwise the article should indicate the product directly under the title once you open it and there are also product tags at the bottom. There are also in-product help articles for QuickBooks Desktop that can be found following these steps.

  1. Select the Help menu in QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Click the Help button.
  4. Choose Search.
  5. Enter keywords to find articles.

I hope this has been helpful! If there's anything you'd like clarification on, just give me a shout here. :)
