Join nowThe way QuickBooks Desktop shows item hierarchy on screen is different from how it appears in print preview. On screen, it displays both the parent item and child item (like Parent Item: Child Item), but in print preview, only the child item is shown. The parent item is missing from the print preview.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Hello there, abhishek4. I can share details about the display preferences concerning the items displayed in QuickBooks Desktop. I'm with you in getting past this topic.
There are differences between what is shown on the invoice screen and what is printed on the preview. Some information may show on the invoice screen, however, it doesn't appear on the print preview.

The provided solution does not work. It does not contain information on how to print Item & Sub-Item both in the invoice. I am able to print the invoice, however the Item is missing. I am only able to print sub-item.
Please assist.
I appreciate you for returning to this thread and providing an update about your concern, @abhishek4.
Currently, the feature to print the parent item on invoices is unavailable. As a workaround, you can enter the parent item in your invoice description.
I understand the importance of printing both of your parent and sub-item in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). For now, I recommend sending feedback about it. We always consider customer feedback when improving or adding features.
