Thanks for joining the Community, tuomiflooring.
 

Before entering your labor and materials on an invoice, you'll need to create their appropriate items.
 

Here's how:

  1. In the upper-right corner, use your Gear (⚙️) icon.
  2. Choose Products and services.
  3. Click New.
  4. Pick a type.
  5. Enter all of its necessary details. If you're not sure what to put for the Income account, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find an Accountant. All ProAdvisors listed there are QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights for driving your business's success.
  6. Select Save and close.


Now you'll be able to use these items when creating invoices.
 

If there's any additional questions, I'm just a post away. Have a lovely day!

I have all our products entered. Just on the invoice I would like it to total the material in one line and the labor in another. 

So at the bottom of my invoice I would like it to be something like

 

Material Total

Labor total

Sales tax

Total

 

Vs

 

Subtotal

Tax

Total

 

Just so they can see what material cost is vs labor cost. Right now we just calculate it out but would be nice to have it easily viewable.

Thank you for posting a reply in the Community, @tuomiflooring. Let me add up to the information provided by our colleague @ZackE.

Currently, customizing invoices to separate labor and material costs is unavailable in QuickBooks Online.

 I suggest the billable expense to track it accurately. Here's the article for that: Billable expense in QuickBooks Online.

You can also try using a third party app that integrates with QuickBooks Online. You can visit Intuit QuickBooks Apps to check the third party apps that you would like to use in your business.
 

Here's how:

  1. Login to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Apps menu.
  3. Type in the clue word of the specific app or the one that relates to the task you're looking for.
  4.  Click the magnifying glass to search.

You can post a reply if you need further assistance. I will be happy to assist you. Keep safe and have good day!
