I can't see any report that would show my Accounts Payable by supplier. How can I find this on QBO?

Hi - I am on an EasyStart plan. I am just looking to see my outstanding accounts payable for a specific supplier, but can't seem to find where to see that.

 

Thanks!


Hey Tonic,

 

Yeah, unfortunately, @Jen_D was on the right track there with her answer, You do not have "Payables" with the Easy Start Plan, so naturally there's no payables report. See the below screenshot from her Link on "What reports are included in your Plan"

Easy Start is meant to track expenses, not bills, hence the lower tier/price. It suits some people for sure who just track expenses when they are paid.

I guess, good new is that you don't' owe anyone anything (at least, according to QBO & yes that was a poor taste joke, sorry, you gotta laugh or cry sometimes, right?) So yeah, the bad news is, the entries you've made so far were all posted as "Expenses" meaning they've been posted as Paid to your Ledgers.

 

If you have a look at your Balance Sheet it should confirm, you have NO Accounts Payable balance. 

So if you're thinking you entered unpaid bills in QBO then I'm afraid they were posted to a bank or Credit Card Account. You'll need to reconcile those in order to find the unpaid items and take them out.

 

Also you should still be able to pop into your Supplier Menu and look up transactions by Supplier that way, but again, QBO thinks these are paid, and there would be a payment account (Bank or Credit Card) listed on each of them.


I hope this helps get you on the right track but if not, reach out to a QBO Proadvisor in your area or look for a recommendation from a colleague or trusted source. Everything can be fixed with the right knowledge, trust me!

Hi Tonic EC.

 

Being able to pull up the information that you want when you need it is one of the great things about QuickBooks Online. I'd be happy to help you pull up your accounts payable reports.

 

In order to pull up your unpaid bills and what you owe your suppliers you can run the Supplier Balance Detail. This will give you a break down of each bill that has yet to be paid for each supplier you have in your QuickBooks Online account. To find this report you'll need to go to Reports>What You Owe>Supplier Balance Detail. Another option you can use is Supplier Balance Summary which just shows how much each supplier is owed but won't show the bills.

 

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.

Hi Nick - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I do not see a 'What You Owe' section in the Reports listing, nor do I see 'Supplier Balance Detail' or 'Supplier Balance Summary' reports listed or available by search. I only have a 'Expenses and Suppliers' section with a few irrelevant report options. How do I find these reports you mentioned?

Hello Tonic EC. Could I have you access your account using a private/incognito window? This is a good method for by-passing browser display issues while using QuickBooks. Try this out and let me know if you're now seeing the reports.
