Printing a check, just want the company name to appear in the addess, not the contact name

When using QuickBooks Desktop, this is of course very easy. All you have to do is edit the address block on the vendor record until it appears the way you want it to appear and then that will be the default address on every new check.

Naturally, QuickBooks Online is more difficult. Instead of having an address block, QuickBooks Online rather arrogantly assumes that if you fill out both the contact name and company name that you want both to print on your checks. Which is just quite stupid.

Just because you have a contact at a company does not at all mean their name should be on the checks. Your contact might be your salesman. He should not be receiving checks from you. You might want, for example "Accounts Receivable" as the second line of the address, under the company name. Of course this is super-duper-easy to do with QuickBooks Desktop and impossible to do with QuickBooks Online.

Until I (just) looked into how Online works I didn't know it was so lame. It seems the Online team has no idea how business works - how checks should be addressed. They're probably a bunch of 20-somethings that never ran a business and never wrote a business check.

But back to your question. You have only two choices with QuickBooks Online:

1) Edit the vendor record and remove the contact name. 

2) As you create each check, manually fix the address by deleting the contact name.
