New Invoicing Format and Billable Time

Another frustrating change with the new invoicing format.  When creating an invoice that had billable time, I use to be able to filter on a specific date range of the billable time and it would add the total as one line item to the invoice.  For example, I could filter for the week 1/1 - 1/6 and all hours for that period would be added as one line item on the invoice. 

 

Now, it appears there is no way to accumulate the time and each day that has billable time is added as a separate line item to the invoice.  This causes the invoices to have many many line items and customers don't want to see it that way.

 

I just don't understand why "upgrades" cause users to lose functionality.

New Invoicing Format and Billable Time

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, CScpa. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

I can certainly understand how an ability to add multiple billable time records to invoices as one line item could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

 

You can also submit your own feature requests while signed in.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Use the Gear icon, then go to Feedback.
  2. Enter your suggestion(s) in the Have feedback? window.
  3. If necessary, attach a file with your Camera icon.
  4. Select Next.

 

Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.

 

As a workaround, you can add billable time to invoices normally, or you can send individual timesheets as an invoice:
 

  1. Open the project and access its Transactions tab.
  2. Find your billable timesheet you're working with.
  3. Use its Create invoice option in the Action column.
  4. Complete your invoice and send it to the customer.

 

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely Friday!

Hello have you figured out a way to combine your billable hours for say 1 or 2 weeks onto one line on the invoice?

New Invoicing Format and Billable Time

This is HORRIBLE.  In desktop I used to click one button and all my billable time appeared as one item., Now each hour is added as a line? If I send one invoice a month then it will have hundreds of lines!

Absolutely ridiculous.
