The SKU option is available in all QuickBooks Online versions, Yvonne. You should be able to enter the SKU number when creating a product/service item.

 

To display the SKU column when creating a transaction, you'll need to turn on this function first. Here's how to do it:

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select Account and Settings.
  2. Select the Sales tab and go to the Products and services section.
  3. Mark the Show SKU column box.
  4. Click Save and Done.

If you're having issues entering or displaying the SKU, I'd recommend doing the browser troubleshooting steps. This will help us get rid any cache-related issues. Here's how to do it:

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online account through a private browser.
  2. If the SKU are already showing or you can enter them successfully, we can clear the cache storage of your regular browser.
  3. Other browsers are good alternatives to access your account, too.

Get back to me if you need more help with this. I'll be around.

I want to add a non-inventory sku to an invoice. Ive set up the non-inventory sku but it will not let me select it. It doesnt even show up as a sku option. Why not?

I understand that you want to select the item in the SKU field, BHollis.

 

QuickBooks Online will auto-populate the sku number in the SKU field when selecting an item. We're unable to search and select a product in that field. However, we can search and select it in the Product/Service field using an sku number.

 

Simply enter the sku number and QuickBooks will show you the result. Refer to the screenshot below:

I'd like to share this article about customizing sales forms. This will guide you on how to personalize not just the invoice, but also the estimates and sales receipts.

This is a bit silly not having it available, is this going to change
To me it is a dealbreaker as to whether I use QB or not
