I've been using recurring payments for years.
QB 2022 Premier Desktop in Win10Prox64
Here's my scenario:
Customer buys 9 of an item per month. It's email services.
I need to create them a new invoice for 10 email accounts per month.
I suspend the original transaction because you can't change quantities on recurring items once you've saved the recurring charge.
I go to create a NEW recurring charge.
My item is called "Exchange Email"
When I go to the "itemized list" field and type "ex".... nothing happens.
I tried typing "Lab" and of course "Labor" come up.
I try typing various other items and some populate for me to select from, but of all the 30 or 40 services I offer, only about 10 of them show up.
I have a category called Managed Services.
Items are thing slike:
Managed Services: Exchange Email
Managed Services: Compliance Archive.
None of the items in my managed services subcategories will show up at all for me to select from.
I checked Item List and they're all there and working properly.
I can create an invoice for them with no problem.
I just can't create a RECURRING invoice for them.
This is a massive problem as I need to adjust invoicing before the first of the month for clients.
Anyone else experiencing this at all??
Here is an example of their previous monthly bill.
You can see the item they're charged for is clearly titled "Exchange mail"
So, I go to create their new invoice and try to choose the item and I get this...
As you can see, the dropdown list never populates with the option for Exchange Mail.
In fact, there are Two items in my list that should pop up.
Here's my item list:
Either of those items should appear.
And at the risk of repeating myself - I've been setting these accounts up for years now. This isn't something new I'm doing. It's something I've been doing for a long time that stopped working today.
Various others items also won't show up in the list.
It doesn't matter if the item is a subitem of another. I've tried editing sub-master relationships with no luck.
I'm totally open to ideas because I'm stuck right now without being able to update monthly billing.
Please advise.
