Hiding Estimate/Invoice Amounts

Before the latest QuickBooks Online update, for my estimates/invoices, I was able to enter numbers in the "quantity" and "rate" fields and they would calculate in the "amount" field, as you would expect.  More often than not, I would take the total for all line items and display it on one line at the bottom.  For instance, if I had 10 line items at $100, it might say "Labor and Materials:" with "$1,000" in the "amount" field.  I would then delete the individual amounts for each line item, leaving the quantity and rate numbers alone. In my template, I only display totals to my customers, so if there were changes to the estimate/invoice as a project moves along, I knew where the individual prices came from and it was for my eyes only... With the new update, I can no longer do this.  Does anyone have any idea how to restore this functionality?

 

I know it is technically doing what it's meant to do, but if I'm doing an estimate for an entire house rewire (electrician), there's no need for me to display itemized costs to my customer.

 

Thanks for any help/advice!

Hiding Estimate/Invoice Amounts

Hello there, smoky989.

 

I'd like to provide some insight regarding your query about hiding the estimate and invoice amounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

The option to display the total for all line items on one line at the bottom and remove the individual amounts for each line item, while retaining the quantity and rate numbers, is not available in the new QBO experience.
