How do I send the remittance for a bill payment to a different email address after it has already been sent to an incorrect email address?

I have already changed the email address on the vendor file to the correct address; however, when I click the send remittance button now it still sends to the incorrect email address. I am working in Quickbooks Online.

How do I send the remittance for a bill payment to a different email address after it has already been sent to an incorrect email address?

I appreciate the steps you have taken to resolve the issue you encountered, Rachel.

 

When you update the vendor's email address and send a remittance to them, it will be delivered to the updated email address.

 

To ensure the vendor's email updates are properly applied, I recommend refreshing the page after making any changes to the email address before resending the remittance. Occasionally, updates may not take effect immediately and require a page refresh to be fully applied.

 

If the remittance still sends to the wrong email address after reloading the page. I suggest deleting the current Bill payment to ensure there is no outdated or conflicting data affecting the process.

 

  1. Go to Expenses & Bills and click on Vendors.
  2. Locate the specific vendor you want to update.
  3. Select the Bill payment and click Delete.

 

Once the Bill payment is deleted, update the vendor's email address again and refresh the page.

 

  1. On the Vendors page, click Edit.
  2. Enter the correct email address.
  3. Click Save to apply the changes.
  4. Reload the page to ensure the updates are implemented.

 

After completing these steps, you can recreate the Bill payment and send the remittance to the vendor’s updated email address.

 

  1. Select the Bill and click Mark as Paid to create the Bill payment.
  2. Click Save.
  3. Locate the Bill payment, and then click Send remittance.

 

Following these steps will ensure that the changes are properly applied and the remittance is sent to the correct email address.

How do I send the remittance for a bill payment to a different email address after it has already been sent to an incorrect email address?

Only thing that worked was deleting the payment and processing the payment again, very frustrating. There really should be an option to print the remittance not just send via email.

I understand how valuable it would be to have a print feature for remittance advice to support your workflow, @Rachel-Summers.

 

While QuickBooks Online (QBO) currently only allows remittance to be sent via email, we encourage you to share your thoughts and suggestions with our Product Development Team by submitting feedback in QBO. This will let our product engineers know how you want the program to work.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4. Click Next to submit.
