You can update and personalize your forms while creating them, Najura. I'll show you how.

 

First, could you please specify the area where you want to exclude the quantity and rate sections in QuickBooks?

 

If you're referring to excluding those in sales forms such as invoices, estimates, and sale receipts, you can customize the form style. Here's how:

 

  1. Create an invoice, then click on Manage.  
  2. Select Customization.
  3. In the Table content section, toggle the switches for Qty and Rate to off.

 

Please note that this will remove the quantity and rate information from all line items, not just from a specific one. If you want to display an invoice without showing the quantity and rate for certain items, you'll need to create separate invoices for those items.

 

For more information on personalizing and adding specific details to your sales forms, please refer to this article:  Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

Yes I did see this after looking around and that does work for me with my estimates. However on most invoices I only want to remove the rate and quantity on Labor, Design Services, or some items I am not detailing the  costs of.

so It's not all the items only some. And haven't been able to do that.

@NajuraRE: When I list Labor, I want it to show only the total cost without rate and quantity

 

I was able to do this with QuickBooks Online by deleting the Qty and Rate values, and then entering the desired amount:

 

When I printed the sale it did not fill in either blank value.

 

Is this what you are asking for?

Yes and that is how it used to work. But now and I'm not sure when it changed, a year or more, I delete quantity and rate so that I have only the total amount for Labor  and the program puts the same amount in the 'quantity' space. It looks really bad on the invoice.
