Feature Request - additional custom column for invoicing

I'm glad to hear from you today and for sharing a great idea here in the QuickBooks Community, @gargoylegrip.

I can see the benefit of being able to add a custom column on your invoice for you and your business with QuickBooks Online (QBO). I'll surely pass this request to our product team. This way, they can consider this feature for future system updates.

While the feature is still unavailable, I'd recommend visiting our blog from time to time. This way you'll get the latest news, updates, and program upgrades through this article: The QuickBooks Blog. Just look for the What's new in QBO section.

In the meantime, you're able to personalize and add specific info to your invoices that matters most to your business. You can learn more about this by checking out this article: Customize sales forms in QuickBooks Online. It also includes steps about editing custom templates.

Please let me know if you have other feature requests or concerns in managing your invoices in QBO. I'm just around to listen and help. Take care always.

Hello, has there been any update on this feature being added? I need to add a column to my invoice to include a List price, Sale price, SKU # , Quantity, and Description. I find it hard to believe that quick books online does not offer this feature. 

The only other way around this would be for me to have an individual item discount. EX List price 25%  I need to have the discounted price shown per item, not just a deduction where the customer has to figure out their total cost.  We sell Auto parts and need to have different discounts per line item.  

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @Zstankovics. I’m here to share some updates about the invoice.

I understand the convenience of being able to personalize your invoices according to your preferences. QuickBooks continues to release new invoice versions. However, we’re unable to provide an exact date for when this will be available to all QBO users.

In the meantime, you can add the product/service, description, quantity, and enter the sale price onto rate. Even so, we’re unable to add the SKU number and discounted price per item on the invoice.

As a workaround, let’s pull up the Sales by Customer Detail report to display the discounts and SKU numbers you’ve setup for your items. Please note that the discount will not appear in the Product and Service drop-down menu since it’s not listed as an item.  

Here’s how:

1. On the left pane, go to Reports.
2. Enter the Sales by Customer Detail report in the search box.
3. Select Customize.
4. On the Report period menu, select the date based on your sales transactions.
5. Below the Rows/Columns, select Change columns.
6. Put a checkmark on the Memo/Description and SKU.
7. Press Run report.

Here's an article that can guide you through adding your personal touch to your reports: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

I've also included this reference helpful for the steps in saving your report after the customization you made: Memorized Reports in QuickBooks Online.

If you have any other follow-up questions about the feature update or managing your invoices, let me know by adding a comment below. I'm always here to provide additional assistance.

In many circumstances, we bill on a per-user basis. Users are kept tabs on by adding them as contacts in the customer, with a "MSP Complete?" checkbox as a custom field. For financial transactions, this is an ideal solution.

A report on this in the executive summary would be fantastic. Including their names on the bill would be ideal.
