I have one business with several dba's and want the individual business names on my invoices, packing slip, etc. but when I change one it changes all of them.

Best answer by

Make changes to the template(s) in the layout designer:

- Remove the standard business name and/or address from the template.

- Right click to add a text box and put the desired co name and address in the field.

Thank you. Apparently I didn't have my eyes turned on or I would have seen the big ADD button at the top of the screen also.

Where can we select the specific invoice template to use when trying to issue the invoice in QB Online?

Thanks

Hi there, @pino.

 

When creating invoices in QuickBooks, the last template that was used will be set as the default option the next time you create one.

 

Allow me to walk you through the steps on how to do it:

 

  1. From the Customers menu, select Customer Center.
  2. Go to the Transactions tab, then choose Invoices.
  3. Find the invoice, then double-click it to open the transaction.
  4. From the Template drop-down menu, select the template you created.
  5. Hit Save & Close and repeat these steps for the other invoices.

 

Now you'll be creating and editing templates like a pro in no time. You may find this article helpful as well: Use and customize form templates.

 

Keep in touch if there's anything else I can help you with. Have a great day.

Thanks for checking in with us, kaimukiguy.

 

If the DBA is the same business and using different names, you can setup several DBA's under one business account in QuickBooks Desktop. However, if they are different businesses, then that option is unavailable. They have to have their own company files and each business files its own tax returns. For more details about Doing Business As, check out the What is a DBA? Everything small business owners need to know article. 

 

You can also upload a Word Document to enter the different company information. Also, you'll have to customize the templates for each additional DBA. To create and edit templates, see the Use and customize form templates article.

 

Visit our Help Articles page for more insights about managing your business in your software.

 

I'm just one post away if you need a hand importing or exporting your templates or any QuickBooks related. Just reply to this post and I'll get back to you. You have a good one. 


Just to clarify...

 

I have two DBA's under one company.   

 

I need to use those both in QB Online to invoice, is this possible?  

 

If not please make it so.

 

Thanks!
