QMac Checks need to include Payee Address

MontanaKarl

QMac Payees can have a mailing address associated with them… which is used by Quicken if Quicken itself is mailing a check on your behalf. But, the File > Print Checks… function ignores this mailing address.

Whether the check format is set to Standard, Voucher or Wallet, the payee address is never displayed, making printed checks unusable for mailing.

I want to migrate a business to QMac (with its own file separate from my personal data) - but this is a show stopper for me as I use the print check function in a different (accounting) program to generate PDF 'pay stubs' to email to employees.

EDIT/UPDATE: Based on John's comment below… the Check Details window for a check marked as PRINT has a "Print Check" tab… with a "Use Bill Pay Address"… which fills the address into the check. So… this wish is for that to be the standard behavior (fill in the address) rather than having to open the details and click that button for every single check. And yet… even with the address filled in on the Print Check tab of Check Details… printing the check NEVER actually includes the address in the print / PDF Preview / etc. So that seems like a bug vs a feature request?

I agree that the handling of addresses needs refinement. Somehow, I suspect they are going to say this "is working as designed" at this point.

You are correct that the address entry in Window:Payee is for online Bill Payment. And there are two different places to enter an address-under both tabs Bank Bill Pay and Payment Details

The address used for mailing printed checks is a third in the actual printed check itself. And that has a mini-database of addresses for different addresses that you can switch between. There is also a button in that view to use Bill Pay address, so perhaps that will pull in the address. (I don't have addresses setup under Payees-I learned once you enter them, you can't clear them out.)

You can experiment as to which address it will pull in.

Thanks @John_in_NC - it NEVER occured to me to open the "Details", which I only open for splits to find a separate "Print Check" tab. Yup, clicking "Use Bill Pay Address" auto-fills Bank Bill Pay address in. (No idea why the payee has two addresses and each has to be entered manually vs "match the other").

So, I guess then my wish is that I do NOT have to click "Use Bill Pay Address" for every check, but that it be the default behavior.

Argh! So even with the address filled in on the Print Check tab of Check Details…. it does NOT print for any check format (Standard, Voucher or Wallet). Bug??!
