I have QB desktop 2019. on the bottom of my invoice there is a markup line item. I want to add my % so that is auto calculates from the invoice total. Is this possible?

Good day, julana-ariesexca.

You can update the markup percentage when you go to the preferences.

Here's how:

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Time & Expenses.
2. Select the Company Preferences tab.
3. Update the information in the Default Markup Percentage.
4. Hit the OK button.

If you want to edit the percentage per item, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to List > Item List.
2. Find and double-click the item to open the options.
3. On the right menu, click the Edit Markup button.
4. Update the percentage and hit the OK button.

Please see this sample screenshot for a visual guide:

Please let me know if there's anything else you need. Thanks.

I do not see the option for "Time and Expenses" in my 2019 Manufacturing & Wholesale edition. Do you need a special version for this feature?

You have this preference, @Bob Saget. 

The Time and Preferences option is located at the bottom part of your Preferences. This is available in the Manufacturing and Wholesale 2019 edition. I'll be adding a screenshot below for your reference: 

Also, make sure to update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This will keep your software up-to-date so you always have the latest features and fixes.

Thanks for that. I do see an option for a default markup, but not the more detailed markup options like the original poster had. I'd like to set a default markup by vendor, or something similar. My QuickBooks 2019 is current with updates. 

Thanks for keeping us updated, @Bob Saget.

If you're looking for the Edit Markup function, this is only available in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. Other QuickBooks versions don't have this option. 

Right now, you can only set up a default markup percentage in the Edit>Preferences (Time & Expenses) setting.

As always, you can visit our QuickBooks Community help website if you need tips and related articles in the future.
