Shortcut to invoices has gone and I’m unable to see previous invoices, it’s all disappeared

Greetings, Anderseason. We'll ensure you can access the shortcut to your invoice and view your previous invoices by working together.

 

The Shortcuts section in the Dashboard tab has always been there if not removed from the layout. To get it back, we can customise the dashboard layout.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. From the Dashboard section, click the Customise layout in the upper right corner.
  2. Tao the Add or remove widgets tab.
  3. Ensure that the Shortcut box is ticked to show it on the screen. Then, Save.
  4. After that, click the Save tab on the right corner.
  5. In the Shortcuts section, click the Pencil icon.
  6. Below the Favourites column, make sure to include the Create invoice tab.
  7. Once done, Save.

 

Concerning your missing previous invoices, we can check the Invoices section from the Sales tab and customise the Date to see if the transactions are lost.

 

Also, you can run the Invoice list report and filter out the Report period to show old invoices. After that, review your Audit log report to see if someone made changes to your account.

 

If the issue persists after performing the steps above to both the invoice shortcut tab and previous invoices, let's perform some basic troubleshooting steps to determine if this is a browser-related concern. 

 

Let's start by logging in to a private browser to avoid storing cache data file that causes odd behaviour when running a web-based program. Feel free to follow the shortcut keys below:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

 

If a private browser shows the quantity correctly, switch back to your default browser and clear its cache to give your browser a fresh start. You can also use one of the supported browsers if the current one you're using has a temporary issue with the program.

 

Additionally, you can read this article if you want to unleash your creativity in your sales forms: Customise invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please never hesitate to return here if you have additional questions about managing your display or invoice in QBO. We'll be glad to help you. Thank you, and have a great day.
