New Invoice Template lacks an Add All option for billable expenses

My Quickbooks account has yet again switched to the new layout for Invoices.  There is a MASSIVE problem with this template.  We use billable expenses and when we do an invoice, there may well be a hundred or more of these items.  The new template lacks an Add All button!  You have to click every since billable item individually.  

 

Is this feature hidden somewhere?  Or is it just left off?

New Invoice Template lacks an Add All option for billable expenses

Hi there, @ncarty97

 

The Add All option for billable expenses is unavailable in the new invoice template. I understand the benefit of this feature to streamline or handle your invoice templates efficiently. For now, you can switch back to the old invoice layout to access that option.  

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the + New button, select  Invoice.
  2. On the upper left corner, click Old layout.
  3. Then select Switch layout.

 

I recognize your need for this feature so I recommend sending feedback to our development team. This way, they can review your suggestion and consider it for the next product enhancements.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
  2. Type in your comments or product suggestions.
  3. Select Next to submit.

Please feel free to reach out again if you have any follow-up concerns. I'll be here to help.

Consider it for the next product enhancements...? Are you kidding? This is a massive screw up and will cost me hours of time at invoicing. This needs to be fixed NOW. before the new layout becomes mandatory.

How in the world can this half baked layout be mandatory before all of the BASIC features from the previous layout have been added? This is change for change sake, not a helpful or useful new layout. After trying it out, it seems that the only users that will benefit from these changes are small companies with standardized invoicing for specific items or services. Us larger companies that have Time and Materials billings rely on things like an 'Add All' button because of the massive amount of transactions that accumulate between invoicing events. These empty platitudes are actively dissuading users from continuing to use Quickbooks. I myself have started looking for other platforms to migrate to that aren't actively hostile to our workflow. Either make the old layout a permanent option, or get all of the functionality from the old layout onto the new one, there's really no other way to deal with it.
