Recurring Invoice with a design template

I have several recurring bills that go out each year.  They have a different template but for some reason I can not figure out where to change the template design when setting up a new recurring invoice.

Recurring Invoice with a design template

Creating recurring invoices with different templates maintains consistent and professional designs, Lisa.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), making a new recurring invoice also generates a new template, eliminating the need for manual changes.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Lists, select Recurring Transactions.
  3. Tap the New button.
  4. Choose Invoice in the Transaction Type drop-down list, and hit OK.
  5. Enter the Template name and other information needed.
  6. Hit Save Template.

 

Otherwise, edit the old template if you want to use it and update the information. You can click the Edit link under the Action column.

 

For more details, check this link: Create recurring transactions.

Recurring Invoice with a design template

I know how to set up a recurring invoice but I want to have the invoice have additional information on the bottom of the invoice.  

 

We are a service club that has different fundraisers that we bill every year.  I want to have different information on the bottom.

 

You can create Custom Form Styles.  

Gear, custom form styles, name of invoices...

 

I want to use one of the custom form styles on my recurring invoices.  You could do it before but Quickbooks changed everything!!

 

BEFORE:  When you set up the recurring invoices in the customers tag, you could create an invoice, enter billing info, pick custom invoice and then make recurring.  You can't do that anymore.

 

I put an invoice I have done before in the attachments.  

 

Help, and Thank you
