I want to change the packing slip. Can I add the SKU number to the packing slip?

Hello there, userfinance3.

The packing slip is a standard format in QuickBooks Online where adding other fields and options is unavailable. I see how beneficial for your business to have the option to add the SKU field on your packing slip. As a workaround, you may want to add the SKU to your product/service name when you create your item. 

Let me show you how:

1. Go to Sales on the left panel.
2. Within the Product and Services tab, click Edit under the Action.
3. Add the SKU next to the name. Then, Save and close.
   
   
   
   

Also, you can visit our blog website to check our product enhancements. Let me also share about customizing sales forms. It guides you on how to personalize the invoice, estimates, and sales receipts.

Stay in touch if you need more help. I'll be round to help you figure it out. Take care and stay healthy.

Thank you for your response.

It would be a helpful add on, if editing the packing slip would be an option.

Thank you for your reply and workaround information.

Still it would be a helpful option to be able to edit the packing slip for future updates to quickbooks online.

My team asked me to add the Paid notice on the package slip if possible. Does anyone know how to do that?

I’m here to share some information about QBO’s packing slip, @DianaA.

You can send an invoice or sales receipt to your customers with a paid watermark on it. However, the feature to customize or set the packing slip as paid in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is currently unavailable. But that's a great feature if it will be added to the current features that we have. I'll be sure to take note of it. For now, you can visit the QuickBooks Blog to check for new updates and features that we have. 

Here's how to send a paid invoice or sales receipt:

1. From the left menu, click Sales and choose the Invoices tab.
2. Find the invoice or the sales receipt that was marked as paid.
3. Under the Actions column, click the drop-down and select Send.
4. Enter the email address under the TO section.
5. Click Send.

Hello. The product sku should obviously be an option for a packing slip. Please stop making your customers use work-arounds. I do not want the sku listed in the product name. I'm getting really sick and tired of QB work-arounds!

For those that are trying to replicate the above it is important to understand this ONLY WORKS for "Products and Services" that are set up as "Inventory" for all products and services that are set up as "Non-Inventory" THIS WILL NOT WORK.

ps As mentioned below, I too agree that it is absolutely crazy that SKU's do not appear on the packing slip by default. The fact that you still have to "work around" this shortcoming almost 3 years after this issue was flagged is reason enough to move to a competitor like Xero.
