I need help with new invoice layout. It is now sending invoices to my customers with accounting codes. How do I remove this from customer view?

It is so confusing.  Not a good program for editing.  I knew how to edit in the old version.  Can someone tell me how to use modern view and not have the customer see accounting codes?  Please!

I can help you remove the accounting codes when sending invoices to QuickBooks Online (QBO), @suznnek1.

 

Before doing so, could you please specify what you mean by accounting codes? Also, are you referring to the invoice number? Providing this information will help me gather the necessary details.

 

If you're referring the accountant codes to the invoice number, I can guide you on how to remove them. Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online.
  2. Click the + New button then Invoice.
  3. From there, click the Manage icon then select Customization.
  4. Toggle off the Invoice No.
  5. Once done, hit Save and Close.

 

Also, you can utilize your invoices by creating a customized template that you can make to remove the accountant codes. However, if you have already a template that has no accountant codes then you can use that.

 

To create one here's how:

 

  1. On your homepage, click on + New then Invoice.
  2. From there, click the Manage icon then select Design.
  3. Choose the Invoice template that you recently made that has no accountant codes.
  4. If it doesn't have an Invoice template, you can tap on Manage.
  5. Select on New Style, then choose Invoice.
  6. From there you can do whatever you want by customizing that template.

 

Furthermore, I have included this helpful article that provides further insights into the subject matter: Set up and send progress invoices in QuickBooks Online.

And this removes the invoice from the modern view.  So what was the purpose?   You cannot view the email or customer views in "other templates".  It makes no sense.

Thanks for following up with the Community, suzannek1.
 

I can certainly understand how an ability to change an invoice's design to standard instead of modern and still be able to see previews for your templates could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

But I can't keep the modern view and not show accounting codes.  And how is modern different from standard?

Thank you for the prompt response, @suzannek1.

 

The difference between modern and standard templates on invoices in QuickBooks Online is they have a different appearance.

 

Modern templates can be customized within the invoice page by clicking Customization and you can have the PDF view to check the template. In comparison, the Standard template can be changed through the Custom form style. When reviewing the form, you'll need to select Print and Download first because this template is old.

 

Additionally, you can read this article for guidance on viewing your business's financial statements within QBO: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'd like to ask what accounting codes you are referring to. Could you share some screenshots with me? This will help me better understand your needs and provide more tailored solutions for your invoices. If you have any other questions or issues regarding your invoice templates, please share them here in the Community space. Take care and have a great day!
