eliminate Decimals in the QTY column

Hi @Jesse09119,

I've replicated your concern using a QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) test account and confirmed one thing. The system automatically clears out the decimal point under the QTY column if they're all zeroes. Anything else other than that, the system will retain the decimal values.

With that said, I suggest you check the products you have on the estimate. See if the number(s) after the decimal point aren't zeroes. If they are, proceed to delete them. 

Take some time to view this article: Use single and multiple units of measure for items. It shows you the difference between single and multiple units of measure in QBDT, along with their short descriptions. 

Use the comments section below if you have anything else to ask about templates in QBDT, and I'll handle it. 

on my estimates only the QTY column prints with 2 trailing zeroes ex----1.00

I appreciate the prompt response, Jesse09119.

In QuickBooks Desktop, the information seen on the Estimate will be the same when printed. Since you're seeing decimals on the QTY column of your estimate, we'll want to perform some troubleshooting to fix it.

Let's download the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This tool is designed to automatically diagnose and fix issues within the software. Below are the instructions on how to do it:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.4.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. When the install finishes, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
6. Once the  QuickBooks Tool Hub is open, select Program Problems.
7. Select Quick Fix my Program.
8. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

To ensure the components are properly updated, please restart the computer after running the tool.

If this doesn't work, we can try using the Rebuild Data tool in QuickBooks Desktop. This tool is used to fix any possible data damage within your company file. Let me show you the steps on how to perform this below:

1. From the File menu.
2. Click on Utilities.
3. Select Rebuild Data/ Verify Data.
   

Once done, try printing the estimate again and see how it works.

If you have another question in mind, please let me know. I'd be happy to answer them for you. Have a good one.

Thank you, but the print preview still shows 1.00

there isnt a setting anywhere to adjust the decimals on the estimate QTY, i just cant believe it

Hello there, Jesse09119.

Thanks for following the steps shared by my peer and letting us know the result. Let’s perform another step to resolve the issue.

We’ll have to delete and recreate the estimate. This is to check if the entry is damaged.

Before proceeding, save a copy of the company file to prevent accidental loss. When you’re ready, follow these steps to remove the estimate.

1. Press the Customers menu at the top to choose the Customer Center.
2. Tap the Transactions tab and navigate to the Estimates section.
3. From the list, double-click on the transaction you’re working on.
4. On the Estimate page, hit the Delete icon and OK to confirm the action.

Then, create the transaction again. Click here for detailed instructions.

If you continue to get the same result, I suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. One of our agents will collate personal data to view your account. From there, they’ll review the setup and check what triggers the decimal point to show in the QTY column.

1. Tap the Help icon at the top menu bar to select QuickBooks Desktop Help F1.
2. In the Have a Question window, scroll down to choose the Contact us link.
3. This will display the Contact Us screen.
4. From there, go to the Tell us more about your question section to enter the issue or topic in the field box.
5. Press the Search button to display the Get Phone Number or Start a Message button.

I’m adding a link that can help in your future tasks. It contains topics on how to handle income and other customer transactions: Self-help articles.

Please let me know in the comment section if you have other QuickBooks concerns. I’ll get back to answer them for you. Have a great day ahead.

Go to Manage Templates and double click the Estimate you want to change.  Basic customization will pop up. 

Select Additional Customization button at the bottom of the window.  

Select the Print tab at the top.  There is a Trailing Zeros section.  If the Print Trailing Zeros is not selected and you have decimal point, click the check box.  Select Minimum number of decimal places to None.  You can then un-check Print Trailing Zeros and the decimal point should go away or you can leave it checked.
