Is there a way to get the line item details for invoice and remaining amount from an Estimate created for a Progress Invoice? I see the columns on the edit screen, but when I print or download I don't get these two columns. I looked at the manage estimate customization and design and there is no option to get this info on the print/download document.

I appreciate the detail you’ve provided about the issues you’re encountering when printing or downloading these documents. I know it's essential you have access to all necessary information and am here to help resolve this matter so that your documents include both columns as required, Slevy7.
 

It's possible the reason why the column did not appear is because you made modifications to the template after you had already created the estimate and progress invoice. Please be aware that any changes made to the template will only be reflected in new transactions created thereafter.
 

To prevent this issue, check that you selected the necessary columns. If any discrepancies arise, delete or recreate the entries and make sure to pick the appropriate template before finalizing and saving your estimate and progress invoice.

I am not sure what you mean by: "If any discrepancies arise, delete or recreate the entries " also if i go to the standard estimate there is no options for these columns.

Glad to have you back here in the Community forum, @Slevy7.

 

When deleting or recreating entries when discrepancies occur in customizing forms in QBO helps ensure financial data accuracy and compliance, preventing potential errors from impacting financial reporting.

 

Moreover, to address the issue of missing columns when printing or downloading, please ensure to select the specific template you customized under the Custom Form Style tab. You can then proceed to create or edit the transaction to display the customized template you selected. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Navigate to the Sales tab, and select either Invoice or Estimate.
  2. Pick the specific entry you wish to modify.
  3. Click on View/Edit.
  4. Under the Design tab, use the dropdown button to select your desired template.
  5. Click Save once you've made your changes.
