General Journals do not show on Vendor records consistently

Hi,

I use QBKS 2019 for Desktop Mac.

 

I have entered many GJs and allocated most lines to different Vendors. When I check Vendor records in Vendor Quick Reports and Vendor Center, most GJs don't show up.

 

For example, Vendor XYZ has about 100 transactions via 20 GJs but on the Vendor record only two of the 20 GJs show up. What am I doing wrong? I checked various Vendors, it is the same across the board, and inconsistent. Plus it is not always the same two GJs that show up. Seems to be random. I did set the search criteria to All Transactions.

 

Thanks in advance.

Journal entries should be the exception when using QB, they often do not work as you think they should, and  when you use inventory type items they never work for inventory. It is much better to use the forms on the home page the way QB is designed to be used.    Journal entries also bypass accrual/cash reporting, and will not show on many reports.

 

The vendor transaction listing only shows bills entered, if you pay a vendor without entering a bill that payment does not show there.  A purchases report by vendor will show it all though

Most transactions have a source line and a non-source line.  General Journals are a little different in that there really isn't a distinction.  There might be bug in how the Vender Center or the QuickReports are looking for them.  Do the ones that show up have the Vendor portion of the GJ in the first line of the General Journal record?  And do the others have it in a line that isn't the first?

Thank you for your reply, and yes, that is exactly the case! The only line from any GJ that shows on a Vendor record is the first line. None of the other GJ lines show on Vendor records. To me, that sounds like a bug!
