Yes- I literally used the words HATE when I gave QB feedback. Why would they change the look and not allow us the option to switch. I has made my life a nightmare with invoicing- especially end of month...with no warning. Ridiculous! I have called to try and switch back to the old version and this is not even an option. It is not more streamlined and there are kinks in the design when going to copy / duplicate an old invoice. 

It's just horrible!!

This is a hideous joke. Thanks so much QBO - your new invoices are unusable and we are currently unable to bill clients until you sort out your ill-advised "upgrade".  Disconnecting apps that worked in conjunction with QBO and forcing your own process onto it without a way to turn it off or prioritize what we are paying for is a bush-league move. Changing the download screen is annoying.  Adding windows that fly in randomly and block the screen is just stupid.  Oh, and what's the idiocy with resetting the screen to the very top of the invoice EVERY SINGLE TIME you make an entry in the body?

 

Fix this - maybe introduce your development team to actual humans who use the system every day.

Absolutely hate it. And I'm getting my customers mad. To save the invoice you have to click email. Really? Flat rate We do not  do flat rate. Totally unnecessary

I think most of us hate the new invoices. However, I am sure a lot of you, like me, are busy running a business and don't have time to change all your books right now, so since Quickbooks Help robots or whatever they are are so useless, I will share what I have learned. 

 

First, you CAN use your old templates. I was having trouble with "T"s showing up on every line though, like everything was taxable. Lines where I had just typed descriptions of work performed and things like that, nontaxable labor and everything else. I figured out by accident and then a little deduction how to fix that. I hadn't updated my sales tax center to the new one. Because the automatic sales tax calculation was another bad rollout years ago, I stayed with the old one because the way the new one calculated it was useless for me. However, now you can create custom rates and it works pretty much like the old system. So if you are having that problem, just update your sales tax center and it should fix that problem. That solved a huge headache for me, so I wanted to share it in case it helped someone else.

 

Also, I figured out a way to make spaces since it no longer allows you to make blank lines and runs everything together. Sometimes I want a space to separate days of work or give a description or something like that. Just type a few dashes on the line and then it reads it as a line so you will have a space. It's really ridiculous that we have to do this, but it does make my invoices look better.

 

As for the new interface and all the problems with that...I guess we are stuck with that. However, these other two things were huge problems for me so I assume they are for others too and if this helps someone else, it was worth the time it took to type it. 

 

Good luck to everyone with all the other problems Quickbooks has foisted upon us with their "improved" invoices!

Absolutely horrible. They changed my travel fee to hourly. Added sales tax to late fees neither one I wanted
