Question

Can I combine multiple invoices (& line items from them) to a single invoice? I have a client with 10 past due invoices and want to update one per month vs. 10 per month.

I want to combine 10 invoices into 1 invoice so I can just update the late/finance charge on a single invoice instead of 10 separate. Ideally, I can merge them with the line items and dates of service in one swoop. If not I'll have to copy and paste and then delete the old invoices, I think.

    Hello there, trevor,

    Thank you for visiting the Intuit Community.

    We're unable to combine multiple invoices into a single invoice. The way you're doing it (copying and pasting old invoices into the new one), is our current workaround. You can suggest the process of combining invoices to our product engineers. Send them feedback so they'd know what works best for you. In your QBO account, click the Gear icon and select Feedback.

    Feel free to reach out to me if you have other questions.

    Glad you've joined us here today, @Stuart7.

     

    I've come to provide you with some details about combining multiple invoices in QuickBooks Online.

     

    At this time, being able to combine multiple invoices into one isn't an option for us. The best way to handle this while the feature is not yet available to copy and paste the old invoice to the new one manually. 

     

    I can see the importance of this can have to you and to your business. QuickBooks strive hard to make the product work the way your business needs. That being said we are adding features based largely on the preferences that we receive from our customers like you.

     

    I'd encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Online Blog to be updated with our news and updates including product improvements. 

     

    Also, if you have any "How do I" questions concerning QuickBooks you may check out these link below for some references:

    This should get you moving today.

     

    I'm still here to help if there's anything else you need about this. Just leave a reply below and I'll get back to you. Have a good one!

      It looks like this question was from 2018.  Has anyone figured out a way to combine invoices now?

        Hi there, @stephanie68.

         

        The option to combine multiple invoices into one is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As a workaround shared by my peers above, you can create a new invoice and manually add the data from the old ones.

         

        I understand that adding this feature in QuickBooks can make your work easier and save time. For now, you can visit our blog site so you'll be able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on. 

         

        Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Thanks for dropping by.

          How many people have to complain about needing the same thing before QB fixes the program that it “made for its customers”. It seems that isn’t the case, this would be a very simple fix. This topic has been mentioned by many many users for many many years. So many companies will not pay 25-35 invoices per week and request ones that groups them all together. This issue needs to be resolved. I’d you look online people have been complaining about this for awhile now.

            Hi everyone!

            Are there any updates regarding combining 2 or more invoices? It’s 2022… so I’m really *banking* on this.

              Hello, NG94. 

               

              I'd like to give some information about combining two or more invoices in QuickBooks. 

               

              Currently, we're still unable to combine two invoices into one. As what my colleague mentioned, consider using a customer statement if you haven't done it already.

               

              This allows you to send a single transactions with the outstanding invoices rolled into one transaction form. 

               

              To create a statement: 

               

              1. In the left menu, go to Sales, then select Customers.
              2. Under the Action column, click the drop-down arrow for the customer you want to create a statement for.
              3. Choose Create Statement.
              4. Select the type of statement you want to create.
              5. Set the Statement Date, Start Date, and End Date.
              6. Click Apply, then enter the email address.
              7. Hit Save and send.

               

              More details can be found here: Create and send customer statements in QuickBooks Online.

               

              Though, I do like the idea of having a clean transaction history with your customers by combining invoices into a single transaction. This idea might be in the works, so I would still suggest sending feedback to our developers. 

               

              Click the Gear icon, then select Feedback. 

               

              Our developers are still working on other features, so they might reconsider this idea in the future.

              Do you have any other concerns regarding the features in QuickBooks or about your invoices? Please let me know and I'll drop some details and information below.
