How do I select multiple vendors and bills to batch-create checks for printing if I have QB Bill pay active?

I could do this in the Unpaid Bills tab, but since I turned on Bill Pay it only lets me schedule online payments.

Let me help you batch-create checks for printing, mdm53.

 

When Bill Pay is activated, you'll only see the option to schedule a payment. Instead, you can use the +New option to tag multiple vendors to batch-create checks for printing. Kindly follow the steps below for easy navigation.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the +New icon.
  2. Select the Pay Bills option.
  3. Choose the correct Payment account.
  4. Tick the check box for the selected vendor.
  5. Hit Save and print.
  6. Then Preview and print

 

I've also included screenshots below for your visual reference.

You can learn more about paying a bill in QuickBooks Online(QBO) through this article: Enter and Manage Bills and Bill Payments.

I figured out how to do it. Instead of selecting the bills tab, select the vendor tab and click the pay bills button. That brings up all unpaid bills and allows multiple vendors and bills to be selected, and then batch-print paper checks.

You can sign up for a free Melio account to integrate with QBO as a workaround. You will find "Multiple payments to same vendor" feature and you can toggle on "Combine into one". Then Melio will also send a breakdown for easy reconciliation to your vendor later. You will also be able to void the check easily anytime from the dashboard. You can get $100 cashback to pay the first bill. Click on my profile to find the cashback link.
