Can you enter invoices without sending them by email?

Thanks for your interest with our invoicing features in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), @mcruergardens-gm.

I can shed some light about generating invoices in the program.

For now, it is the default preference in QBSE that you send the invoice through email so it gets saved in the program. If you don't want to send it to a customer, use a dummy email to successfully record a sale.

I want you to know that before our developers release product updates, they are going through a wide range of feedback. They try to navigate a path forward with accessibility leading and wanted to be very thorough with the enhancements to make our program efficient to use.

To add your suggestion, while the preference is unavailable, follow the steps below in your QBSE account:

1. Tap the Assistant icon on top of the account.
2. Type Feedback then press Enter.
3. Click on the Add a feature option.
4. Type your feedback then press Enter again on your keyboard.
