Welcome to the Community, @BLane.

 

I'm here to help you create a new invoice in your QuickBooks Online account.

 

If your account is a non- profit, there is no invoice from the +New menu. You will see Pledge instead. Otherwise, it can be a browser issue.

 

The stored files in your browser are typically the source of unexpected behavior or failures in QBO. Your cache saves the files from many websites you visit, so you can quickly load the pages the following time. The browsing speed of websites like QBO may be impacted if the cache is retaining too much data.

 

It's a good idea to check for issues brought on by a full cache when browsing anonymously because doing so prevents the cache from recording your browsing data.

 

  • Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox: Press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Press Command + Shift + N

 

If the steps above will not work, you can use supported browsers as an alternative.

 

If the given procedures are successful, I advise you to clear the cache in your browser to avoid utilizing outdated forms, safeguard your data, and improve the performance of our programs on your computer.

 

Additionally, here's an article you can refer to personalize your invoice: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

 

Don't hesitate to comment below if you need further assistance managing invoices. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.

Thank you for stopping the madness.  I cannot tell you how long I spent looking at how to create a simple invoice.  Migrating from desktop to online has been a certain type of hell

Where is create Invoice it does not appear under the +New button?

I am curious as to why Create Invoice is excluded from the +New menu for non-profits.  We are a non-profit training organization. We invoice groups and/or individuals who register for our courses.  There is no irregularity or inconsistency between being a nonprofit and invoicing.  Is there any way for a nonprofit to change what is shown on the +New menu?

I understand your concerns, @SMUSA. Let me clarify some details about invoicing in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for non-profits.

 

I want to emphasize that although there is no contradiction in non-profits using invoices, it's important to note that different terminology is used for non-profits. Instead of the word invoice, non-profits use the term Pledge. Moreover, customizing the content of the +New menu isn't possible.

 

Additionally, you can also track the funds you receive from your donors.

 

Please let me know if you have other concerns about managing pledges in QBO. I'll be happy to assist you. Have a good one.
