Let's go to the settings to check all the available templates, @ zoltan.

 

You can go to the Gear icon and choose Custom Form Styles. On that page, you can view all the invoice templates that you have. It's also possible that the template that you're referring to was corrupted.

 

You'll want to create a new template and customize the appearance and layout of your forms. I'll guide you how: 

  1. Click the Gear Icon.
  2. Choose the Customs Form Style.
  3. Go to the New Style button.
  4. Select Invoice.
  5. Customize the info on your forms.
  6. Enter the name of the Invoice Template.
  7. Click Done

 

To set your custom templates as the default, here's how:

  1. Choose your template.
  2. Click ▼ in the Action column.
  3. Select Make Default.

If you have any other concerns, please let me know. I'll be right here to help.

Hi MaryAnn,

 

Thanks for your reply. I have been back and forth at form styles checking each corner for a setting before asking the question...

I've tried with a new form style as you described but the look is the same, no total line on the generated pdf.

Attached is how it looks: I have the items one after the other but then instead of a total line the next is paid and then the yet due amount.

Hi there, zoltan.

I appreciate you for performing the steps to resolve the issue. I'll provide additional steps for you to see the total line item on your invoices.

I suggest making sure you selected Discount and Deposit under Content Display. This way, you'll be able to see the subtotal, discount, deposit, or the total line item.

 

I attached screenshots below for visual references.

Hi ChristieAnn,

Thanks for the idea. I tried this, too, doesn't help...

The weird thing is that in the form styles setup the preview of the invoice does have the total lines, but on the actual ones they don't show - cf attachment.

Thanks for getting back to us, @zoltan.

 

Since the issue persists after following the steps shared by my colleague above, I highly suggest contacting our Phone Support team. They have tools such as screen-sharing (remote access) that can pull up your account in a secure environment and check why the total line is not showing on the invoice PDF. They can also perform other troubleshooting steps to fix this for you.

 

Here's how to reach them:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), click the Help (question mark) icon at the top right.
  2. Select Contact Us at the bottom to connect with our live support.

 

Just in case, I'll add these articles for future reference:

 

 

I want to make sure everything is taken care of for you, so please let me know how it goes or if you have any other issues or concerns. I'm more than willing to assist. Have a good one!

Thanks for joining es here today, @victorshade.

 

I'll make sure you're able to get our invoices print correctly. You can update your Adobe Reader or Acrobat. This process helps fix printing issues in QBO.

 

To update, please check the Adobe website for detailed instructions.

 

Sometimes, changing to a different browser can resolve .pdf viewing issues. Below are the lists of supported browsers.

 

If you're using Firefox, follow these steps below to switch to the Adobe PDF handler:

 

  1. From the Firefox menu, go to Tools or Options.
  2. Select Options.
  3. Tap Applications.
  4. Change Portable Document Format (PDF) to Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
  5. Click Print.

 

You can refer to these articles for more information about printing issues.

 

 

Let me know how it goes or if you still have questions or concerns with your invoices. I'm always here to help. Take care and keep safe.

Hello, no it didn't get resolved.

I didn't call the customer service because I should give a US phone number which I don't have, so I put the topic aside.

Hi there, Lawn Girl.

 

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. This isn't the kind of experience I want you to encounter while updating the imported invoice. With this, I can share some troubleshooting steps to ensure that you're able to change the correct total.

 

A cache full of history and temp files can cause unexpected behaviors, such as being unable to change the exact line total. I recommend logging in to your QuickBooks account using a private browser. Then, try to reimport those invoices and update some details from the imported invoices from there. This is to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue, and private browsing doesn't store local files or cache.

 

Use these keyboard shortcuts based on the browser you're using:

 

  • For Firefox or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N.

 

If it works in incognito, I suggest clearing the cache of your regular browser. This removes the history or log of sites so you can start with a clean slate. You can check this article to see the steps: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online.

 

If the steps above didn't work, use another supported browser as alternatives.

 

Please refer to this article to see details on how the Sales page gives you the summary of your customer's transactions like open and paid invoices: View sales transactions.

 

Loop me in if you need further assistance with any concerns related to the invoices or any sales transctions. I'm always here to help you anytime. Take care and keep safe!
