How do I group my billable time entries on the new invoice layout?

Hello, batzlaff.

I understand that the new invoice layout has changed your usual way of conducting business tasks. Our goal is to offer clear and concise information to assist our customers in resolving their issues using QuickBooks Online (QBO).

The new user interface, which has been built from the ground up and introduced with additional features and wider accessibility since June, will be automatically applied to QBO Simple Start users starting from October 16, 2023. It's important to note that users will not have the option to opt out of this change, meaning they will be unable to revert back to the previous invoice layout.

Since the Group time by service option is currently unavailable in the new layout, I suggest sending a feature request to our Product Development Team. This way, they'll be able to look at your suggestion and evaluate it so they can consider adding the feature to future program updates:

1. In QBO, click the Gear icon at the top right.
2. Select Feedback and then enter your comments or product suggestions.
3. Once ready, click Next to submit feedback.

You can track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

On the other hand, if you're using QBO Essentials, Plus, or Advanced versions, you can switch back to the old invoice layout by selecting “Old layout” from the invoice screen. This way, you'll able to see the Group time by service option when creating an invoice.
