If you have vendor that needs their check name printed differently than their business name this can be easily set up in the vendor file in QuickBooks.

Let’s say your vendor has the business name Smith’s Electrical but his business name isn’t the legal name so the checks need be made out to Robert Smith.

Under the vendor profile of Smith’s Electrical, click the ‘payment settings tab’ type Robert Smith ‘print name on check as’. When you are ready to pay this bill, the check will automatically type Robert Smith on his payments.
