Join nowUsing Desktop 2019. I enter most charges via Statement Charges because it is impossible to get invoice detail to show up on Statements or Reports, but I would like to be able to include Item Names (not just Descriptions) on Statements. Is there a tricky way to do that? I could go back and add all Item Names to the Descriptions in my Item List, but we're talking a couple hundred, so I would like to avoid that if possible. It doesn't look like any later versions or QB Online do any better job of this, either.
Thanks.

Good day, @Scribo. Thanks for sharing your concern on the QuickBooks Community page.
Upon checking on the higher version of QuickBooks Desktop such as 2023, the item names on the invoices and statements charges also reflect when creating statements.
Let's make sure that the Item column is checked in your statement template. This way, the item names will display on the statement window. Here's how:
In addition, let's ensure that the Show invoice item details on statements box was checked before creating statement. This way, the details of your invoices will display when printing or previewing the transaction.
If the details aren't still showing, let's perform some troubleshooting steps to see if the problem is related to program issue. Let's start by running the Verify and Rebuild Data tools. Here's how to verify your company data:
If you're still getting the same results, this may be how the program works for your current version. In that case, I'd suggest using the workaround you're using right now to show the item names of your statement charges when printing your statements.
Creating billing statements is part of your usual A/R workflow in QuickBooks Desktop. To learn the different ways of tracking customer transactions in the program, refer to our Accounts Receivable workflows in QBDT.

Thanks ReymondO,
I had given up on the Show invoice item details on statements button because it never showed the date of service and treated all of the services on an invoice as provided on the date of the invoice. As far as I know, no version of QBD or QBO has fixed that problem. Even reports won't show the actual date of service detail from an invoice. That is why I switched to entering services via Statement Charge. I didn't realize the Show invoice item details on statements option worked with Statement Charges until you pointed that out.
Thanks very much.
