I've converted an estimate to an invoice and I'm adding additional charges to the invoice. Can the client see any of these changes to the invoice before I send it?

Im a handyman/remodeler. I've converted the previous accepted estimate to an invoice. Im adding upcharges for additional labor and materials that were not included on the original estimate. I have not sent the invoice yet. Is my client able to see the modifications to the invoice before I send it?

Your client will not be able to see the modifications to the invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO) until you send it to them, Southernfixings.

 

When you make changes to the invoice, such as adding extra charges for labor and materials, those updates are only visible to you in your QBO account while the invoice is in draft mode or being edited. The client will not see these updates until you have sent the invoice.

 

I suggest informing the client of any extra charges, particularly if they exceed the original estimate, by using the Note to customer field on the invoice. This will help keep them informed. After you finalize and send the updated invoice, it will be shared with the client.
