Question

Select a subaccount when raising a sales invoice

Hi all,

I have successfully created a subaccount of an income account and I would like to select it when raising a sales invoice. It should appear in the field Product/Service of the invoice, however I can only see the parent accounts.
I am in the accountant view and I have refreshed the page and logged out and back in, but nothing.

How can I solve it? I really need to split the income in subaccounts!

Thanks!

Let me help you show the sub-account when creating an invoice, BarbaraNS.

 

You can start by clearing the browser's cache and cookies. This helps retrieve missing functionalities while using QuickBooks Online.

 

Follow the steps to clear the cache for your browser.

 

After that, make sure to restart your browser for changes to take effect. To have the best and most secure experience with QuickBooks Online, use a supported, up-to-date browser.

 

Once done, access your QuickBooks account and assign the sub-account to the item you're selling. Then, select the item when creating an invoice.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Sales, then Product and Services.
  2. Find and open the item.
  3. From the Income account drop-down, select the sub-account you've created.
  4. Click Save and close.

 

After that, create an invoice and select the item that is associated with the sub-account. Here are the steps you can follow.

 

  1. Click +New, then Invoice.
  2. Enter the name of the customer.
  3. Complete other fields.
  4. Select the item.
  5. Click Save.
