Thank you for choosing QuickBooks. Let me help you create templates in QuickBooks, Southy.
Invoices will look different depending on the experience you're using or whether you're using the old or new experience. With the new layout, you can already personalise forms while creating invoices at the same time. However, any changes or additions to your invoices will be applied to existing and future ones.
If you want to create a new template, you can select New style under the Custom form styles option. To do so, see the steps below:
After that, customise the appearance. Here's how:
Once done, you can choose a different template if you want it to be in a different format for specific customers.
On the other hand, you can use the Location Tracking feature if you want to create templates with different company names. This allows you to create multiple invoice templates with unique company names and addresses.
First, turn on the feature so you can create a location. To do so, follow the steps below:
Once done, the system will automatically choose the name, contact number, and address that you've provided once you select the location.
Additionally, learn how you can record sales transactions in various ways. To know more details, read this article for your reference: Record Invoice Payments in QuickBooks Online.

If you've applied or match the overpayment to the invoice, the overpayment itself will serve as a credit that you can apply to future invoices.
If the overpayment is shown in your Bank transactions tab, you can click on Find match option to apply it to the invoice. Or you can categorise it under Accounts Receivable account and select the customer to apply it to.

Hi, we import our vendor bills then have to change items line by line to add GST code and Class. Is there a way to amend the entire bill in one go rather than having to change line by line.
Hi Julia,
When importing bills with multiple line items make sure the bill has the same bill.no and, in the Line Tax Code choose the the correct GST for each line like GST on purchases. Then, on the mapping stage in QBO, decide if it's Exclusive or Inclusive of Tax in the Line Amount.
You can also download the sample file when importing bills for reference. And check this link to learn more about: Import your bills in QuickBooks Online.
If the issue persist, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. That way, our care agent can check your CSV file and help you format it.

Is it possible to keep notes on customer invoice for our internal reference. For example: The status of when Invoice will be paid. Or there is an issue with some of the services on the Invoice that need to be negotiated.
Thank you,
Chris

Here's how to add custom fields in your sales forms:
Once done, open an invoice you've created and locate the Internal notes field to enter information and click on Save after.

I'd be glad to assist you in adding a customer discount and reducing the sales tax on your customer's sales form, Jean. I'll lay down the steps below.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the method for setting up and applying discounts differs based on whether you're using the new or old invoice experience. The system automatically generates a "Discounts given" account in your Chart of Accounts to track these adjustments. Before you start using reductions, you'll need to enable this feature in your settings.
If you're using an old layout, here's how to activate and add this on an invoice:
Then, refer to the steps below to apply the discount as a percentage or a flat amount:
Alternatively, you may add them as a line item on your sales form where you include a description of what this is for.
However, if you're on a new layout:

Regarding reducing sales tax, you have the option to manually create a custom rate. However, please know it should be recommended by the State Agency to record the accurate sales tax.
Here's how to generate a personalized rate:
