Hey there, @mjlcapital.

 

That would be so helpful to keep you reminded of the upcoming bills. This way, we won't miss bill payments and always pay all your bills on time!

 

While the option to send the scheduled report only if it has unpaid bills is unavailable, you'll want to utilize QuickBooks Reminders and To-Do List. Both of them can help not miss a deadline. You can use the Reminders feature to remind you when to pay a bill.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open the Edit menu and select Preferences
  2. Select Reminders in the left pane
  3. Under My Preferences, check the Show Reminders List when opening a Company file box. This is optional, only if you want the window to appear every time you open your QuickBooks file.
  4. Go to the Company Preferences tab. Here you can set the parameters of what reminders you need and the number of days before the task is due. You can also choose between Show Summary and Show List:
    • Show Summary gives you the option to group tasks
    • Show List gives you the option to keep the tasks separated

 

The To-Do List also can provide important reminders of when tasks need to done. These steps will walk you through setting up a task:

 

  1. Open the Company menu and then To Do List.
  2. Click the To Do dropdown and then New To Do.
  3. From the Type dropdown menu, select Task.
  4. Select the priority from the Priority dropdown menu.
  5. Check the With box, choose Vendor from the first dropdown menu, and then the specific person from the second dropdown menu.
  6. Enter the date the bill is due.
  7. To specify a time, check the box next to Time and set the time needed.
  8. You must enter details of the to-do into the Details field.
  9. Then choose the status of the to-do by selecting the appropriate option from the Status dropdown.
  10. Click the OK button to add the to-do to your list. Repeat as necessary.

 

Once ready, you can go to the Pay Bills window to settle your payables
