Line item description not showing up on invoice

I am trying to create an invoice with several lines of description, some of which have no dollar amount associated with them. On print preview or email preview the items with no $ amount aren't there.

I've changed the preferences to include zero amount lines.

Line item description not showing up on invoice

@lorriesci  Seems to be working on my end, whether with $0.00 line items or even no item at all.

 

Assuming it's not an issue with the data integrity of your file, can you provide a screenshot of the invoice window you are working with?

Line item description not showing up on invoice

As FishingForAnswers mentioned, the line items displaying $0.00, as well as those without any items, are also appearing on my end, lorriesci. Let's perform verify and rebuild steps to ensure our data is accurate and consistent across databases.

 

You can verify and rebuild your company data to resolve the most common issues within the file. Like correcting data damage, missing data, and ensuring data health.

 

Here's how to verify your company data:

 

  1. Navigate to Window then click Close All.
  2. Go to File, then choose Utilities.
  3. Select Verify Data.

 

To rebuild:

 

  1. Go to FileUtilities, and then hit Rebuild Data.
  2. QuickBooks will prompt you to create a backup before rebuilding your company file. Click OK. A backup is necessary before proceeding with the rebuild.
  3. Select a location to save your backup, then click OK. Do not overwrite an existing backup file. Enter a new name in the File name field and select Save.
  4. Select OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.
  5. Go to File, select Utilities, then hit Verify Data to check for additional damage.

 

For more detailed steps given above, check out this article: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.
