Print separate or combined checks for vendors with multiple bills

When you select bills to pay, you can decide whether to merge payment requests into one per vendor. Merging payment requests creates a single check for all bills paid to the same vendor.

When you pay vendors with a check on the Pay bills page, you have 2 options:

  • Create 1 check per bill.
  • Create 1 check per vendor.
If you have some vendors who should receive a separate check per bill and others who should not, you can set this as a vendor preference. Go to the Payment information tab for the vendor and select or deselect Merge payment request. Then, when you pay bills, set the Payment request method to Use vendor preference.
  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Bills > Pay bills.

  2. Apply a filter to load bills.
  3. Select the payment method, bank account, and payment date, as usual.
  4. From the Payment request method dropdown list select how to handle multiple bills from the same vendor.
    • To create a single check per vendor, select Merge requests into one per vendor.
    • To create separate checks for each bill, select Generate one request per bill.
