I would like to run a report in QuickBooks Desktop that will tell me an average on each vendor how long it took the company to pay their bills the same like we have the option to get a report for the customers Average Days to Pay Report.

@CP72  I notice that the Average Days To Pay report you reference has the option to change the Name filter from 'All Customers/Jobs' to 'All Vendors' under the Customize Report button.

 

My clients are too small to really use bills, but you might try and see if that works for you.

QuickBooks Desktop doesn't have a similar report that shows the average days to pay for A/P transactions, CP72. Let me provide a workaround to help you get the data that you need.

 

You can use the Vendor Balance Detail report, which provides a list of bills alongside their corresponding payments. You can then export this report to Excel to create a formula that calculates the average days to pay.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu, look for Vendors and Payables, and then click Vendor Balance Detail.
  2. Change the date in the Dates filter depending on the period that you need.
  3. Click Excel, then choose Create New Worksheet.
