Invoice Template- customization

Welcome to the Community, @Matt1997.

Currently, the option to add more columns to an invoice is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). This is because the columns on the invoices page are predefined, which has only given you the option to hide or display the columns in the Custom form styles page.

However, you can utilize the Custom fields feature to add more details to your invoices. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon and select All lists.
2. Select the Custom Fields.
3. Click the Add field, then enter a name to the newly added field.
4. Hit Save.
   

I recognize the significance of having the option to add extra columns to an invoice. You can then send feedback directly to our Product Development team so they may consider including this feature in future updates. To do that, here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Click on Next to submit feedback.

Our Product Development team will receive and review your suggestion along with the other user's requests.

You can also track feature requests through this link: QuickBooks Online Feature Requests.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I must say, this is very disappointing and might be a deal breaker for me when it comes to using QB moving forward.  I had already looked the the 'custom fields' options and that didn't provide me with what I needed.  I simply need to add more columns to my invoices so that my customers get the data they need.

Why are we paying more money for QB Online compared to the Desktop version, but getting less functionality that has more glitches?  I guess I'll start looking at Quickbooks competitors becasue my last few days of working with QB Online have lead to nothing but frustration.

We hear your sentiments, @Matt1997.

We recognize the need for more flexibility to add extra columns to your invoices. However, this feature is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

In the meantime, you can consider checking out the available third-party apps to help you out with the task at hand. Here's how:

1. From the left navigation panel, navigate to Apps.
2. Open the Find apps tab.
3. Enter any keyword in the search bar or select the Browse category dropdown menu to explore different apps.

I'm still ready to back you up if you have additional concerns regarding invoices. I'll be a reply away. Take care.

I simply can't use QB Online without the ability to modify the invoices to include more columns with my own headers at the top of them.  This is a basic feature that I've been using on the desktop version since the year 2000.  I think you have probably lost another customer.  Best of luck Intuit.
