Good morning! I am looking a report that provides the name that is printed on the check. Sometimes the "PRINT NAME ON CHECK AS" is different than the vendor name. I have not been able to locate a report option that provides this. Thank you in advance!

The "Print name on check as" field isn't available on any report, as far as I've been able to determine.

 

What is it you're trying to get done?

That sounds like a SecureCheck or PositivePay type file. You've hit a critical QuickBooks limitation regarding creating such files because QuickBooks won't include the Print As name on reports.

 

However, we offer a solution with our BRC PositivePay file Creator - QB Desktop. It creates the required files for about 150 bank file formats, always using the Print As name so the files match the printed checks. We can very likely add your bank on request if it isn't listed. For simpler bank file formats, there's also the ability to create custom formats yourself.

Has anyone made any progress on this in QB Online?  We just signed up for Positive Pay with our bank and keep getting exceptions because the name printed on the check does not match what is in the register.  Instead of waiting for exceptions it would be so helpful to run a report that shows Company name, Vendor display name, and Name to print on checks and find the mismatches.  Otherwise I have to edit every single customer to see if there is a mismatch.  Help!?

Has there been any improvement to the memorize reports tab. I am having the same issue where I can't change the report to show "name as in check" having over 300 employees and having to edit every positive pay is a bit time consuming.
