Since the last Quickbooks online update, our receipts no longer show the description of the service the customers are paying for. The Custom Form sales receipt shows the description but not the actual. Please advise asap!

I'll help you fix this, @LCBPOA.

 

Strange behaviors, like missing data and errors are usually caused by the accumulated cache in the browser. To rule this out, you'll want to access your QBO company using an incognito or private window. This mode doesn't save your web searches, site data, and cookies. Here are the shortcut keys:

 

  • Ctrl Shift for Google Chrome
  • Ctrl Shift for Firefox & Microsoft Edge
  • Command Shift for Safari
     

Once you're in, try to open receipts. If it's now working well, go back to their regular browser and then, clear its cache to delete the accumulated junk files and improve your browsing experience. Switching to other supported browsers can also help resolve this issue.

 

Additionally, here's an article that you can read to help track the status of your estimates, invoices, and customer payments: View sales transactions.

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance in dealing with your other tasks. I'll be around to help.

Cleaned out the cache in its entirety, and switched browsers. My original post shows the actual receipt. The attached shows the template. Looks nothing alike.

I recognize how essential for your business to show the description on the sales receipt, LCBPOA. This allows you to track the service easily. 

 

Let's use another custom template to identify if the one you've previously used is damaged. I'm here to assist you on how to add one. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Gear icon at the top and choose Custom form styles.
  2. Click the New style drop-down and select Sales receipt.
  3. Give your template a name.
  4. Head to the Content tab and select the information you wish to appear on the entry and make sure to include the Description option. 
  5.  Tap the Done button for the changes to take effect. 

 

Next, enter a sales receipt and use the newly created template. If you continue to get the same result, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Care Team. They can go over the setup of the sales form. Then, walk you through the process of how to implement the permanent solution. 

 

I've added an article that covers the process of personalizing the layout of the sales forms and other information: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts.

 

Furthermore, these resources will also guide you on how to schedule sales receipts and accept payments:

 

 

Reach out to me again if you have other sales-related concerns or questions. I'll get back to make sure you're taken care of.

Hey there, @LCBPOA.

 

Thanks for coming back. Based on the screenshot that you've shared, it seems that you've already able to see the Description field when printing your sales. 

 

For me to better understand the issue, can you tell me more about your concern when printing the sale? Are you getting a blank page after printing the sales receipts on your printing machine? Any additional info would be much appreciated.

 

Please add your details to this thread and I'd be glad to help you back. Have a good one.

This is what shows up when we hit print after applying the payment. It also prints like this and does not show the customer what it is they paid for. This only started happening after the last update with QB's Online. Totally frustrating. Please see the attachment.

I recognize the effort you exerted to elaborate on your concern about the description section in receipts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @LCBPOA.

 

Since you’re done with all the possible troubleshooting and workaround to make the column available, I’d suggest contacting our Technical Support Team. It is to allow them to check your account in a secure setting and to trigger an investigation to examine the said component.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Click the Help button.
  3. In the QuickBooks Assistance chat box, select Talk to a human or tap the Contact Us button at the bottom.
  4. Then, type in your reason for contacting us in the What can we help you with? Box and click Continue.
  5. From there, choose a way to connect with us: Chat with us, get a Callback, or call our support line directly by getting our Phone number.

 

You can also refer to this article for other options when contacting them, and scroll down to the bottom to see their support schedules and hours: QuickBooks Online Support.

 

Moreover, you can run various reports in QBO to get a snapshot of your business.

 

Let me know if you have more queries form styles or any QuickBooks topics. I’ll keep the thread open for them.

All I know, is this is bogus. I work for another company as well that uses Quickbooks online and since the last update, there are many issues now. All I want is for my receipts to show the description as it did before the update and we have also lost the ability to search by address or company name in the sidebar search.
