lien waivers

QB premier construction desktop.......I created a template for a lien waiver under "invoices" with all the merge fields, etc.  When I go to write a letter for the job or a customer letter, I cannot get to the "invoice" templates - it only shows me the customer/job templates.  When I put the "invoice" template for lien waivers in the customer template area of my computer, you can select it however it says I have a bad string.  How can I create a lien release under the invoice template and access it when I create an invoice to a customer??

Hey there, @mystyide

 

Thanks for reaching out. I hope you're enjoying the day. 

 

Allow me to explain how to set up a lien waiver template in QuickBooks:

 

1. Open the Company menu at the top and choose Customize Letter Templates...

 

 

2. Choose the best option for you if you have a current letter that you wish to edit or create a new one. 

 

 

3. Choose the type of template. Then select Next

 

 

5. Finish your letter and save. 

 

To access to give to the customer:

 

1. Open the customer center by going to the Customer menu at the top and choosing Customer Center

2. Click Word at the top and select Prepare Customer Letters.

 

 

3. Pick your customer you wish to send the letter to. 

 

 

4. In the list of letters, choose your lien waiver template you created. 

 

 

5. Fill in the required information and hit Next

 

 

6.  As mentioned on the screen, once you choose Next, Word will open, then you can choose to print. 

 

Please let me know if you have further questions. I'll keep an eye out for your post. Take care and have a good one!

@mystyide There's a software out there that can do all of this for you.  It's called lienwaivers.io and it connects to either QB Desktop or Online.

Actually this is more for the general contractor rather than the small specialty trade contractor that does only a couple of waiver per month.  They are a bit pricey for just this type of use...and do not offer a per use option.  I added the waivers to the customer invoicing however QB does not offer adding anything to payments received.  That would be the answer to us small ones!!
