Appreciate you for returning to this thread and answering all the clarifying questions above, sharimcknew. I got your point on how helpful generate the total expenses easily.

Currently, a specific option to default the report showing vendors with a total spend for a period isn't an option. Having this option would be great. No worries, you can run the Transaction Detail report. It displays specific transactions, and you can use the Debit and credit column to review the total expense.

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Select Custom report and choose Transaction Detail report.
3. Click Customize button.
4. In the Filters tab, search for Preferred Vendor. Choose specific name of the vendor.
5. Search for Transaction type. Select Bill Payment, Check and other type of transaction you want to generate.
6. Hit OK to reflect the changes.
   

Additionally, you have the option to modify the time period covered by selecting a different date range from the Dates drop-down menu.

We can review these articles anytime to learn more about personalizing QuickBooks reports:

• Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'm here anytime if you need further assistance finding or generating data of the recorded transactions and any information within your company file. Bye for now and take care.
