Do you have to pay a vendor on a regular basis? Set Up Recurring Payments in Quickbooks Desktop to save time.
1st step: Find an existing check or make one from scratch.
If you already have a check,
If you've previously written a check for the amount you wish to pay the vendor, locate it in ANY of the following places:
According to the Register:
Select Banking from the menu at the top, then Use Register (or press Ctrl+R).
Choose the appropriate bank account if you have multiple accounts.
Locate and double-click the check you wish to remember.
From the Vendor Center
go to Vendors, then Vendor Center.
Navigate to the "Transactions" page and then to Checks.
Locate and double-click the check you wish to remember.
If you haven't already made a check, do so now.
Choose Banking from the top menu, then Write Check (or press Ctrl+W).
Fill up the check exactly the way you want it to look each time.
Choose Save & Close.
Step 2: Make a mental note of the check.
Select Memorize (or press Ctrl+M) in the check window.
Select the option for a reminder.
Select the frequency in the "How Often" section (monthly, weekly, daily, etc).
Select the next payment date in the "Next Date" section.
Enter the amount of payments you want the software to enter in the "Number Remaining" field.
Input how many days in advance you want the application to record the transaction or remind you to enter it in the "Days In Advance To Enter" section. Choose 0 if you want it to post on the specified date.
Select OK to remember the purchase. You should be returned to the "Write Checks" window as a result of this.
Uncheck Print Later if the check is set to auto-pay.
If a check is marked to be printed later, it will appear in the Print Check queue the day it is recorded.
(Optional) Change the check number to Auto Payment or Epay for auto-pay.
