Pricing Rules Don't Work with New Invoice Layout

We have customers who pay different rates for the same product or service. So I activated Pricing Rules beta and created a rule for a given customer (ACME) a specific product (Widget A).

The regular unit price for Widget A is $150. But for ACME, they pay $100 for Widget A. So I created a pricing rule that applies only to ACME individually and only to Widget A individually. The price adjustment method is Custom price per item and the Start and End dates are blank which means the rule never expires. 

 

I create a new invoice for ACME and add the Widget A under Product or service. The price for Widget A is the default $150 and not $100 as per pricing rule.

This is using the the New Invoice Layout. But if I switch the Old Invoice Layout, it works. How can I get it to work with the new invoice format?

Hi there, @RickMeister.

 

I appreciate you for using the New Invoice Layout in QuickBooks. I'm here to help guide you with your price rules for invoices.

 

At this time, the New Invoice Layout does not support Price Rules. This is why the price rule created did not work in your invoice and used the default one.

 

For now, you can switch to the old invoice look by selecting Old Layout from the upper right-hand corner of a new invoice. From there, you can continue creating invoices with price rules. For more details about creating invoices and price rules, see these articles:

That's too bad. I was hoping to take advantage of the new layout as the stock invoices for the old layout aren't great. 

 

Is pricing rules going to be available for the new invoice layout? Is this a planned feature?

Hello, we are new to online, been with desktop for many years. We got an email saying that on May 6th we will be moved to the new invoicing layout and that the old layout will not be available. What is the status of price rules for this? We use price rules and they are critical to our business. Why would those not be available on a certain layout and then we are going to be forced to use that layout? Or, will they be available?

Will I be able to keep the old layout? This is what the email says, it doesn't seem like staying in the old layout will be an option.

We want to let you know about a change to how invoicing works in QuickBooks Online: the capability to switch the old and new invoicing layouts will no longer be available beginning May 6, 2024.

After that date, the old layout won't be accessible, and you’ll be automatically moved to the new form with no additional steps required. All the underlying data and books remain as they are, and past estimates and invoices will still be available. To access the new form right away, open an invoice and click Update layout.

Thank you for returning to this thread, ZennersPDX.

 

I understand how important it is for you to have the old invoice layout. For now, all QuickBooks Online Advanced, QuickBooks Online Plus, and QuickBooks Online Essential users can still switch to the old layout. Let me provide additional information about this.

 

Once the update is available, you'll no longer have the option to switch back to the old layout. However, as mentioned above by my colleague SirielJeaB, you can still send feedback to our product developers to inform them about your request. Our product developers may consider adding this back to QBO in the future.

 

Once done, our designated team will review it. You can track your future requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

 

You can visit our article on what's new with the invoices and estimates after the updates in QBO.

This is completely irresponsible for QuickBooks to remove an important feature like price lists! That’s one of the reasons we chose to buy the product. Clearly other users rely on this feature. I gave my feedback but a lot of good that’s going to do. This needs to be escalated to QuickBooks management.

I am absolutely disgusted with quickbooks. I can't believe how different desktop and online are. The fact that they are forcing us to use a new layout that doesn't offer crucial features that we pay for is unacceptable. They act as though no one uses price rules. I'm sorry, if this is a feature that you offer and even one person uses them, you cannot just shut them off. This disrupts our entire process and there is no workaround other than to manually change the prices on every order? We process hundreds of orders each day and have probably 50 price rules. I don't see any other solution than to find another service.

It's outrageous frankly. I am now going to have to sit here and manually calculate and go in and change 1,000 prices and it is apparent QB could not care less. I will be getting our company off of this system as soon as I possibly can.

I chatted with someone in QB support who said the old invoice format is not being taken away because of customer pushback. We’ll see if that the case.

Well looks like it did get taken away so pretty much killing Price Rules

Yeah, and when I chatted with someone they acted shocked that they weren't working and submitted a ticket to see what happened. I'll tell you what happened. Quickbooks yet again doesn't care about the customers. But that's ok, we can submit feedback and that's how they know what people want. Ha ha ha!!! Right...

And yet, price rules is still an option in settings. I can’t believe that QuickBooks would take an important feature like this away.

Why bother having them if we cannot even use them? These are a crucial piece to our business and we are crippled without it. We are now having to look into additional applications and costs just to do the basic functions we have been using for years. When are these going to be available?

Yes, I think what folks would like is a commitment to restore this feature and an ETA.

Oh I don't think that any of us are unaware of how to send feedback. I think we are all also aware that feedback goes nowhere and is unanswered.

If their plan was to eventually make price rules work with the new invoice layout you’d think they’d keep the old one active until it’s ready in the new one. What they did is stupid and in willful disregard to customer needs.
