How can I change the formula for Amount on the invoices?

We have some items where the user pays the amount on three parameters - duration, quantity and rate. I used the "Custom Fields" in Items list to add "duration" column. I have also added the custom field to the invoice template. Now, whenever I use the new template now, the amount is only calculated using the rate and quantity (default fields of QB). How can we add "duration" as a multiplier on the amount?

Hello there, Nitin-ca.

 

Adding duration as a multiplier on the amount when entering invoices is unavailable. Having this feature would be great.

Let's send feedback about adding duration as a multiplier on the amount. You can input a few details that make them aware of the other features you're looking for on the invoice. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the Help menu in your company file.
  2. Select Send Feedback Online and choose Product Suggestion.
  3. Click the Type of Feedback drop-down arrow and select Product Suggestion.
  4. Choose Reports in the Product Area.
  5. You can then add brief information in the box.
  6. Enter your name and e-mail address.
  7. Then, click the Send Feedback button.

Thank You Sarahann

 

I will submit the request right away. How frequently does the QB release updates on the desktop editions?

the service models have evolved since the pandemic and duration has become an important attribute for the invoicing.
