PRODUCT INVOICE FORMAT IN DESKTOP

Hi,

I have a client whose QB Desktop has a formatting issue with the product invoices.  The original product invoice looks like it may be corrupt, as when I open the layout designer. everything is scrunched to the top.

 

I made a copy of the product invoice but that didn't work.  I can't "grab and stretch out" the data that is scrunched at the top and unreadable.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank You, PattiB

Thank you for providing that screenshot, PattiB. Seeing the corrupted template firsthand gives me a much better idea of the issues you're having.

 

It does look like it's corrupted. Let's run the QuickBooks Tool Hub to determine and resolve potential data and program issues when working in the program. 

 

It contains all repair tools like File Doctor, Condense Data tool, and Install diagnostic tool. It is a one-stop solution for all the errors such as technical, functional, installation, or data transfer and data migration errors. The tool hub program will resolve all your issues, and you don't need to download and install multiple tools to fix different errors in QuickBooks.

 

Let me share these steps on how you can use it:

 

  1. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe). You can look it up in your Downloads folder or in the location you selected when you downloaded it.
  3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  4. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
  5. Once opened, look for Program Problems, then select Quick Fix my Program.
  6. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

 

Please check out this article for additional details: Fix Common Problems and Errors With the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

After that, go back to the template and check if it's already looking fine.

 

Just in case you need more information and resources when making customizations, I'll share these articles as well:

Thanks JenOp2,

 

I followed your advice and it almost worked...I can create invoices now and they show up fine on the screen but when trying to do a preview or print it doesn't work.  I have attached a copy of a preview.

 

Thanks for your advice, PattiB

Thank you for your response and for following the suggestion, @PattiB2021.

 

Allow me to join this conversation and provide you with additional solutions to help you print or preview your invoices.

 

It's possible that the issue lies with the template itself, which is causing the invoice to not display any details when printed. To troubleshoot this, I recommend using a different template and reformatting the details. Once done, try to print the invoice again and see if you get the desired results.

 

If this works, I'd recommend running QuickBooks File Doctor to help fix issues within your company file. Here's how:
 

  1. From the tool hub, select Company File Issues.
  2. Click Run QuickBooks File Doctor. It can take up to one minute for the file doctor to open.
  3. In QuickBooks File Doctor, choose your company file from the drop-down menu. If you don’t see your file, select Browse and search to find your file.
  4. Click Check your file (middle option only) and then Continue.
  5. Enter your QuickBooks admin password and then select Next.

 

I'll also share this resource for additional reference in case you run into any problems customizing your templates: Fix common issues when you use and customize templates.

 

Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps. I want to ensure that you're able to successfully print or preview your invoices in QuickBooks. Take care!
