Can I edit or add text in the bottom the Estimate ("Accepted By" & "Accepted Date") ?

I'm glad to see you getting back to us here in the Community, @Evamotion.

 

When adding these fields using the Airy new template, making changes to the existing texts is unavailable. I suggest utilizing the Footer field to add the extra information you need for the estimate.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Custom Form Styles under Your Company.
  2. Search for the template, then choose Edit below.
  3. Go to the Content tab.
  4. Hit the pencil icon in the bottom-right corner. 
  5. Add extra details in the field below Add footer text
  6. Tick Done.

For future reference, please visit the Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online article. It contains detailed instructions about personalizing custom templates.

 

Leave me a comment below if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm here ready to help and make sure you're taken care of. Have a good one.

Hey there, @Evamotion.

 

Thanks for dropping by. It's always great to see someone new in the Community. Helping out with Estimates are my specialty.

 

The way to have this feature available to you is to create or edit a custom form style for an Estimate. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under "Your Company," choose Custom Form Styles
  3. Click on the form you would like to change or create a new one by clicking New Style, then Estimate.

 

      4. Select Change up the template to change the layout of the Estimate.

 

 

      5. The only template that allows "Accepted by & Accepted Date," is called Airy New. Tap this template and you'll be able to see the feature.

 

 

Note: If you'd like to add or switch up a few texts in the Estimate you can do so by selecting Content, then click the Pencil (Edit) icon in the top right-hand corner of the box.

 

 

If you'd like to learn more about Custom Form Styles, you can check out this link.

 

Thanks for being part of the QuickBooks family. If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Happy Wednesday!

Hello @Candice C , 

Thank you for your quick replay! It looks like I don't have control to change mentioned text ""Accepted By" and "Accepted Date"). 

I would like to add or edit existing text. For example:
Edit text line to "Accepted Date & Signature" 
Add text line: "Signature and Stamp" 

Let me know if this is possible? 

Thanks

Thank you for the solution! That will do the job. 

I have another question. Let me know if I should remove this from here, and crate another topic. 

Creating new Estimate or Invoice I have "Sales Location" field that it is not useful and it looks like it does not appear anywhere. Is there a way to remove it? 

Thanks

Thank you for explanation how to download an Estimate/Invoice. My problems with this solutions are:
- Once invoice downloaded it is not automatically marked as SENT. (other invoicing tools marking it as sent)
- When you downloading Estimate/Invoice this way, every time you need to type file name.  (other invoicing tools naming file so you don't need to do that) 

Is there any other convenient way to download it? Or everybody still printing invoices these days? 

Thanks

Hello there, @Evamotion.

 

Having the downloaded invoice to be automatically marked as sent is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. Thus, it will only happen when the invoice has been transmitted to the customer.

 

When it comes to saving the downloaded sales forms, typing in a file name is necessary in the system. This is to make sure that you can easy locate and determine the information that you saved.

 

I can see the benefit of having the ability to mark the downloaded invoice as sent as well as saving a file without entering a name for your business. 

 

I'll do my part and personally submit this preference to our developers, so they can assess the feedback and put it under consideration.

 

You can also visit our QuickBooks Online Blog site to be updated with our latest news and product enhancements. 

 

If there's anything else that I can assist you with, you've got me here to help.  Have a lovely day!

Hi there,

 

the easiest way to do it is to add your own email address to the BCC field. Once you receive the email, just forward it on to your customer.

 

It allows you to see what the customer sees when they get an email from you.

Can you get rid of totals in the footer, As  want to use estimates more for workorders but dont want totals on teh work order.

Seems odd you can take the lines away in the middle but cant in the footer.

Hi there, @Advanced2.

 

The Total field in the footer is set as default to calculate the overall total when creating sales forms in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Therefore, the option to remove the said field is unavailable in QuickBooks. I can see how beneficial it is for your business, and we'd love to hear your input. That said, I recommend leaving feedback to notify our software engineers about the feature you need that they can consider adding in future product updates.

To send your input, here's how:
 

  1. Open your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  3. Type in your suggestions and then click on Next.

 

Moreover, I'll also share this link where you can learn more about new product updates: New features in QuickBooks.
