Is there a way to enter a date range rather than a single date on invoices?

Hi MaryLandT 

Thank you for your reply.

If I use a custom field, can I chose where this is field displayed on the page?

Regards

Thanks for getting back to us, michael53.

With the templates created within QuickBooks Online, we cannot change where these fields are displayed. However, we have an option to import your own invoice template. With this, you can display the custom fields anywhere in the template.

Here's how to turn on the import option:

1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and select QuickBooks Labs.
2. Turn on the Import Style feature
3. Click Done.

Then, you can follow the detailed steps in this link on how you can import the template: Import custom form styles for invoices or estimates.

Keep us posted if you need anything else. Have a great day!

I cant see the "Custom fields" option anymore under Sales form content section.

Has this been removed or moved elsewhere ?

Hi NikhilNanjappa, this field is still visible on accounts with the customer fields feature activated (QB Online Essentials and Plus) - if you're using QB Online Simple Start, you'd need to upgrade to use these. 

Well, I wouldn’t upgrade forever just for a custom field.

is it possible to upgrade for a month, create the custom field and then downgrade to what I need hoping the custom field will still exist ?

Thank you for your prompt reply, @NikhilNanjappa.

Let me share some information about downgrading a subscription to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you wish to switch back after upgrading your plan, the feature it has that is not available on the others will not be applicable. Nonetheless, you'll also want to take note that turning off features is required before downgrading from your current plan.

Moreover, I'd like to share with you some info that discusses what happens to transactions (both regular and recurring ones) when you do this. The differences with other things, like users, inventory items, multi-currency, and more: What happens when you Downgrade your QuickBooks Online plan

Thank you for this information.  It is quite helpful.  Although is there a code i can put in the date rage to where it will auto change to the next month on each invoice?

I bill monthly for contracted services.  The same fees, just a new month.  I need the date range to change monthly automatically.

I’ll handle this query and help improve your QuickBooks experience, Kent.

At the moment, an option or a code to make the date range automatically change to the next month on each invoice is unavailable. I can see the benefit of this idea to help streamline your processes while managing sales transactions.

With our Feedback feature, you can submit suggestions like this directly to our Product Developer teams. I’m glad to show you the steps:

1. Within your QuickBooks Online account, select the Gear icon.
2. Go to Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Select Next to submit.

The program offers a way to create templates for regular transactions. If you’d like to try this feature in the future, just check out this reference for complete instructions and more details: Create recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help out. If you ever need assistance again, you can mention me or add comments anytime. I’ll be here. Take care always!

This is not solved.   It needs to have a date range that auto changes for each month of service.  Be able to bill for next months services.  Not a day of service.  A month of service.  

The date of service is useless in a auto bill by the month for security or cable tv service.  It needs to be for a month of service.  We should have that option.   I have asked this 20 times and i am not sure anyone understands.  I keep getting sent back to the same conversation that says "Solved".  

It cant be a static field.   I dont want to change 1000 invoices a month.

Thanks

Hi Kent, the option to enter a date range instead of a single date of service is not currently supported - please see the feedback option above to submit a suggestion to our developers for this.
