My invoice template did not have 'Date' and 'SKU' columns because I used a product or service category for each week that I provided services.  Now the invoice template shows these two columns but I don't want them displaying on my invoices.  Is there a way to remove them from the invoice template?

It's nice to see you here in the Community space, juan.

 

I understand the need to remove the Date and SKU in your invoice template in QuickBooks Self-Employed. However, this feature is currently unavailable. What we can do is submit this request to our developers for now.

 

You may consider sharing this idea with our product developers. They can consider this for future updates depending on the number of requests. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to Invoice.
  2. Click Feedback at the top right corner.
  3. Enter your product suggestion, then click Next.

 

You can visit our website or blog to track your requests and recent developments.

 

Additionally, I'm adding this article to learn the basics of QBSE: Overview of QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Please make this happen. I do not need date or SKU.  SKU is turned off so it should not display on PDF. This showed up recently and makes a one page invoice multiple printed pages.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about managing invoices, @Anthony84.

 

Upon checking, there should be no SKU column in QuickBooks Self-Employed since this feature is unavailable in the product. However, you'll have the option to remove the invoice date and due date. All you have to do is click the Customize button in the Invoice window, then turn off the Date and Due date buttons under Invoice details.

 

If you can still see these columns, I suggest running some browser troubleshooting steps. We can start by accessing your account in a private window. Doing this will help us check if the problem is related to a cache issue. Simply press the following shortcut keys to access this mode:

 

  • For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N

 

If the private browsing session works, clear the browser's cache so the system can restart. This task is also possible in other supported, up-to-date browsers.

 

In addition, you can set up online payments in QBSE. This way, your customers can pay you for their invoices electronically.

 

If you have further questions about removing the date and SKU columns, just add them to the thread. I'll be here to help you out. Have a good one.

I apologize for making a mistake,  my version of Quickbooks is the Quickbooks Simple Start.  I did turn off the date and that did go away from the Printed version. Also the column heading "SKU" has gone but it appears the column is still taking up space on the PDF. It almost triples the number of lines used on the edit view. See the attached sample pdf.
