Thanks for joining on this thread, SG123.
I’m here to clarify why the Payee’s name doesn’t show in the check register.
The name that appears in the Make Deposit window doesn’t automatically come over to the check register because QuickBooks is recording actual bank transactions. If there are several deposits, the transactions may not be attributed to one payer only, which is why the field is blank.
In the meantime, I suggest following the steps provided by @AlcaeusF to input the payees’ name.
We're constantly updating some features in QuickBooks Desktop. If you’d like the software to automatically show the payee’s name in the register, I suggest sending this idea straight to our Development Team.
Here's how:
- Go to Help at the top menu bar.
- Select Send Feedback Online.
- Then choose Product Suggestion.
- Once done, click on Send Feedback.
Your feedback helps them identify the features our customers want most and work toward improving the program.
While you do that, I will also be sending this feature on your behalf to our engineers. You can visit this link to keep you in the loop as to what’s new about the product.
That's it. Stay in touch if you have additional questions about QuickBooks. Please know that I’m just a comment away. Have a good one.
