Hello, ulift2015. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the community. Printing a memo on the check is super easy. However, if you don't have input in your memo field yet, simply open the check and manually enter the memo onto the check. 

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu on the left panel, then Expenses.
  2. Open the check that has the memo you want to appear on the printed.
  3. Click Print Check. 
  4. Press Preview and Print. 
  5. Hit Print. 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

For your reference, you can check out this article to know more about what you can and can't print in the memo field: When the memo field will and will not print. 

 

I am all hands open here if you need further help with printing your checks. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hi, I recently moved from QB Desktop to QB Online. When using QB Desktop and paying bills/printing checks in bulk, QB Desktop would apply the memo that was entered on the bill to the check and it would print the same memo on the check. The only exception would be if I was paying multiple bills for the same vendor with one check (in which case, it would leave the memo blank on the printed check). Is there a way to enable this same feature in Quickbooks Online? I have a large volume of bills so it would be a pain to copy the memo from each bill manually and paste it in the check when printing checks.

I see the challenges of grasping a new QuickBooks product, @crcurry. Despite that, congratulations on moving to QBO from QBDT. Rest assured I'm here to share a few details about this.

 

To automatically apply a memo entered on the bill to the check is a great idea. I understand the convenience of using the same memo when printing checks. That's why I recommend sending feedback requests to our Product Developers.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under the Profile column, select Feedback.
  3. Share your suggestion, then click Next.

 

These suggestions are reviewed by our Product Development Team to help improve your experience while using the program. You can track your suggestion through this website. You can also visit our blog to keep up with recent events and developments.

 

If you added a memo to the entered bill, it won't appear in the bill payment. Thus, you'll want to continue manually inputting it when printing checks. To learn when it will appear in transactions, refer to this guide: When the memo field will and will not print.
