    I'd like to know the same thing.  It's pretty bad that QB would just assume that we all pay online.  We pay by checks.  At least give us the option to set "Make a payment" as our own default.

    After further research and attempting to chat with a human - I figured it out.  Makes 100% no sense, but it works.

    Find the Vendor bill you want to pay.

    MARK AS PAID

    The payment window will open and you can enter the check # you will use.

    Print accordingly.

    Save and Close.

      Here's a work around that allows you to issue checks:

      - from the vendor, check the box to the right of the bill(s) you would like to issue a check for

      - in the top right corner, select the green button that says " new transaction"

      - select the "check" option

       

      From here you can enter your check number and add your bills from the right hand side. 

       

      Hope this helps everyone!

      Id like to know how you pay employees who are not on a regular schedule.  We pay by piecework and our job ends when the work is complete.  We never have a regular payday.  I have tried everything and the only resolution I found is to manually figure the deductions, then enter the employees as a vendor.  What's the purpose of paying QB hundreds of dollars for a payroll system that only works if you fit into their little cookie cutter world?

        Hey there, @frustrated00. 

         

        Thanks for chiming in on this thread. This isn't the impression we want to leave you with. 

         

        Running an unscheduled payroll should fix the problem you're having. Here's how: 

         

        1. Go to the Payroll tab on the left-hand menu bar. 
        2. Choose Employees. 
        3. Select the ▼ dropdown, and pick one of the following options: Bonus only, Commission only or Fringe benefits only.
        4. Press As net pay or As gross pay.
        5. Enter any info about taxes or paycheck calculations (if applicable).
        6. Tap or review the QuickBooks bank account to track your payroll, the pay period and pay date.
        7. Choose the employees you'd like to pay.
        8. Enter hours, compensation, memos, or any other paycheck info as necessary.
        9. Hit Preview payroll.
        10.  Click Preview payroll details, Save for later or Submit payroll.
        11. Confirm the amounts and payment methods and select Finish Payroll.
