We can check and perform some troubleshooting steps to verify why your Sales1 missing in your invoices, Barriew. Let me share the process with you.

 

If the Sales1 you're referring to is an item you've set up in the Product and Services ensure that it's not inactive. Then, you can make it active incase you need to use them again.

 

To view all the statuses of your Product and Services, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Sales tab and select Products and Services.
  2. Click the funnel (filter) icon. From the Status drop-down, select Inactive or All.
  3. Select Apply.

Once done, you'll see all the inactive items. If you'd like to reactive them, simply click the Make Active button. For more details on how to add services and products, see this article: Add product and service items to QuickBooks Online.

 

On the other hand, outdated stored cache can sometimes hinder the performance of the program. I recommend trying to access your account using a private window to see if this resolves the issue. This approach will help us determine if the problem is related to the browser cache.

 

Here are the keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N

 

If you're able to see the Sales1, clear the browser's cache. Doing so deletes all the data from your browser and optimizes its performance. You may also use other supported browsers as an alternative. 

 

Additionally, I'll be sharing these links that will guide you in recording customer payments and personalising sales forms in QuickBooks:

 

 

If you meant something else, please let me know. Any further details that you can provide will be greatly appreciated and help me address your concerns more accurately.

 

If you have additional questions about creating invoices or need assistance with QuickBooks Online, please don't hesitate to let us know. I'm here to lend a hand. Stay safe and take care.

I tried what you said to do.  It is not a product of a service that disappeared.  In the invoice itself, the slot im talking about it below the customer info.  When I view a particular customers list of invoices it was one of the columns that I could choose to be viewed.  That is the only way I differentiated my invoices and could view them easily.  Im not exactly what I am going to do now.  This is causing hours of extra work.

Your efforts in performing the suggested procedures are valued, barriew. I appreciate your clarification and the screenshot you provided. I'm here to help you locate the custom field so you can continue tracking your sales activities effectively.

 

Since the custom field isn't appearing on the invoice, I recommend checking its status to ensure it's active. It may have been inadvertently set to inactive. Please follow these steps to verify the status of this customization option:

 

  1. Navigate to the Custom field page.
  2. Look for the custom field. If it isn't showing, enable the Include Inactive option.
  3. Click Make active.

 

After that, ensure the specific custom field is enabled from the All sales list, Invoice, or Customer page. Enabling this field is essential, as it ensures that the information will be displayed correctly in your invoices and other relevant information.



If you’ve confirmed that everything is configured but still encounter the same issue, I recommend following the troubleshooting procedures suggested by my colleague JoesemM above. However, if you’ve completed those diagnostics and the problem persists, contact our live support team.
