To get a report on all money paid to a vendor for the year, you can run a Transaction List by Date Report. Once the appropriate customizations are made, it will show all payments made to vendors.

Special Note: The Expenses by Vendor Summary report only reflects payments coded to expense accounts and not true vendor totals.

To create the vendor totals, follow these instructions from Intuit:

1. Go to Business overview and select Reports/
2. Enter the report name as Transaction List by Date.
3. Choose Transaction List by Date.
4. Select a Report period to the year.
5. For Group By, select Vendor.
6. Select Customize.
7. Filter by the following Transaction Types:
   • Bill Payment (Check)
   • Bill Payment (Credit Card)
   • Cash Expense
   • Check
   • Credit Card Expense
   • Credit Card Credit
   • Vendor Credit
8. (Optional) If you want to report on a particular vendor or group, select the Name ▼ dropdown menu, then select the appropriate vendor(s).
9. Select Run Report.
10. Select Save customization, then select Save. 

This will create a report that will reflect all payments to your vendors. You can create a new name for the report if you want.
