Buy nowI've contacted QBO team and solved this issue before. My business is a service based business, my clients contact me to perform sampling etc. When I'm finished I generate a report and prepare an invoice based on what service I provided. I do not provide or care about "estimates."
My issue is when preparing an invoice, I use the first line of the invoice to provide an overview of the service provided, the clients project number if any and date(s) of the service.
I then add an empty line with no information to separate the overview from the actual listing of services and products provided with quantities and unit costs.
The problem is why do zero's show when no product or service is selected and also on an added line? QBO team solved this once before the "update" to the ever changing QBO program (ongoing beta). I tried the online chat feature but what I got was a to bad so sad reply and a link to useless information about turning an estimate into an invoice article.

The help feature keeps returning the message "I’m having some technical difficulties right now" since contacting QBO about this issue. You know there's a problem but refuse to address the issue. Please fix the problem since this is still a beta version of QB.
Let me help you get past the invoice issue, Dave.
In the new invoice layout, a zero is displayed even when no product or service is selected. To work around this, you can add custom fields. This will allow you to avoid creating a separate line for the service overview, project number, and service dates of the client. I'd be pleased to guide you through the steps.

I figured QB was trying up-sell me to a more expensive subscription by adding useless zeros to any line I select then make me pay more to get rid of them. I can edit them out but I shouldn't have to do that.
Shame on QB!
