Yes, John. You can exclude the Product/Service column in QuickBooks Online (QBO). I know a way how you can achieve this.
In QBO, you can uncheck the Product/Service section within the Custom Form Style. Afterward, select the template you created for your invoice transaction.
Step 1: Turn off or untick the Product/Service section
Step 2: Add the created template to your invoice entry.
You can also exclude the Product/Service column in the old invoice layout by checking out this article: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
After creating an invoice and having your customer pays it, you can now record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online so it balances your account.
Feel free to notify me or comment if you have further questions regarding customizing your invoices or anything about QuickBooks. I'm still here to help you in any way I can.
