QuickBooks Forms

Is there is a way to add a column to a QB sales order, pick list, and/or invoice that shows the number of cases the customer ordered. Let me give you some background. My company bills in units. This information shows up and prints out on these forms. We then manually convert the units to cases for our warehouse personnel. For example, a customer orders 96 units of a particular item that is packed 24 units to a case. We convert 96 units to 4 cases and write that information on the forms to assist the warehouse in picking the proper number of cases. It would be easier if this information were automatically provided by QuickBooks on these forms.  Is there a way to do so?

It's a pleasure to have you here in the Community space, @CMiller716 .Yes, you can add a column for the number of cases ordered by the customer in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) sales forms. I'll provide more details to help you implement this.

 

You can create a personalized sales forms or edit the default sales order or invoice template to add another column named Cases. This way, you can enter a value into it to indicate the number of cases ordered by your customers. I'll outline the steps to get you going:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Desktop company.
  2. Go to the List menu and then select Templates.
  3. Click the Templates button beside the Open Form button and then select New.
  4. Select Invoice or Sales Order and then click the OK button.
  5. In the Basic Customization pop-up tab, select the Additional Customization button
  6. Click the Columns section beside Header and then tick the boxes below the Screen and Print for Other 1 or Other 2. Rename Other 1 or Other 2 to Cases.
  7. Once done, click the OK button.

 

In case you wish to edit the default templates inside the program, follow these steps:

  1. Access your QuickBooks Desktop company.
  2. Go to the List menu and then select Templates.
  3. Look for the Sales Order or Invoice template and then click on it.
  4. Select the Additional Customization button
  5. Click the Columns section beside Header and then tick the box below the Screen and Print for Other 1 or Other 2. Rename Other 1 or Other 2 to Cases.
  6. Once done, click the OK button.
