Hi bvstone,
I totally get why you want to change how subtotal discounts are applied on invoices. Let me share a little info about that.
Being able to adjust subtotal discounts can definitely help boost your productivity. Right now, though, this feature isn’t available in QuickBooks Online (QBO). But you can send your feedback to our Product Engineers, they’ll take a look and might add it in a future update.
Here’s how you can do that:
- Click the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
- Write your comments or suggestions, explaining why the feature matters and how it could help your business.
- Hit Next to send it in.

If you have any other questions or concerns about QBO, just let us know. We’re always here to help!
