The payment terms is no longer functioning also.   Originally, If I used a bill template two times in a row, the system would refresh the screen back to the dashboard instead of the recurring template screen.  Now it just freezes as it is trying to save the bill.  I have talked to support and they are no help.   Apparently they could not escalate to someone truly technical.  Now that it freezes I am stuck.   HELP!!!!!!

I know that this has been challenging for you, @prairiestreetaut.

 

I understand the importance of having a seamless process when creating a recurring bill. I'm here to help you resolve this so you won't encounter any issues and be able to select payment terms. 

 

First, let's use a private window. Sometimes, QuickBooks may be poorly configured due to locally stored internet cache files, which can contribute to the software's unusual behavior. Here are the keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge: Ctrl+ Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Option + P

 

If it's a success, return to your regular browser. Then, clear your cache to refresh website preferences and remove temporary files that may interfere with QBO. On the other hand, you may also use other supported web browsers

Once you've paid your vendor, you may use the pay bills feature to mark the bill as paid.

problem had already been tested in private window.  This was a technical problem, not a user, browser or computer issue.
