Bills appear with negative value

Hello, I'm having a rather strange problem, it happens to me with several companies.

 

In the summary of supplier transactions, bills and Check appear in the negative. However, in the reports and transactions everything is correct. That is, it is correct that the payments appear in negative, but the Bills?

 

I'm leaving an image so you can understand me better.

 

Any solution to this?

    I understand you perfectly, but until almost the last update of the system, the Bills appeared in positive and the payments in negative.

     

    Even the initial balance that was charged to the supplier in a journal entry is in positive.

    @GianSeth_A @Aldren18  It's very surprising that QB employees don't know this:

     

    To have bills show as positive amounts and bill payments show as negative amounts, select 'Balance Details' in the SHOW drop-down menu.  QB will then default to that going forward.

    I forgot to write it, but it is Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise 2024, with the latest update.

    I appreciate your thoroughness in sharing detailed information and the screenshot, Danila. Let's focus on finding a solution to ensure your bills are accurately represented.

     

    In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), to display bills as positive amounts and bill payments as negative amounts, set your reports configured to show the summary in a balanced detail format. This involves customizing your reports to reflect the desired presentation of financial data.

     

    For detailed steps, here's how:

     

    1. Navigate to the Vendor menu.
    2. Select Vendor Center.
    3. In the SHOW dropdown option, choose Balance Details. 

     

    You can refer to the screenshot below for your reference:

     

     

    Additionally, I’d like to share some valuable articles that will help you explore the various reports available in QBDT and how to customize them to meet your specific business needs:
