Why is the Balance column on Customer Statements left aligned? (Note: You cannot customize Customer Statement templates in QBO)

Hello, @PJBooks. 

It's nice to have you in the Community. I'd be glad to offer some insight regarding customizing customer statements. 

I can see how it would be useful to have the ability to change the alignment of your customer's statement. Currently, you can only customize what appears in the activity column and whether to show the aging information at the bottom of the statement.

I'll make sure to pass your idea to our Product Development team to see if this feature will be available for future updates. You can also send your product suggestions through this link: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online.

Here's a relevant article for more details: Create and manage statements.

Also, for additional support, feel free to reach out to our phone support. They can help you get to the resolution quickly. 

Thanks for joining the Community. If you have any other questions about statements, feel free to leave a comment below. I'll be happy to help you further. 

I think QB is missing the point.

We just want the column "right aligned" like it used to be so that our statements look correct - not like some jumbled cheap software that doesn't look professional.

If it can be "left aligned" why cant it be changed to "right aligned"??'

Surely, some clever software kid can just change the coding - its not rocket science!

Does anyone at Intuit even care??  Please see attachment which shows that if you go to QBO Global Search and click advanced search and select statements and then from the list, click on a statement, you get a professional looking statement on your screen (like the one on the Left in my attachment).  However if you click to send it, the version that gets sent is the same one that you see any time you click to view a statement in any of the normal spots where  you would.  However you can print it as a pdf, then open your email, then compose your email, then attach the pdf, and then send your email FOR EACH Customer, ONE at a TIME!  Soooooo, QBO actually has the correct format in their system, but some BUG is in there that sends the ridiculous looking non aligned one (on the Right of my attachment).  Please fix this.  PLEASE Do NOT tell me to send Feedback, I already have.  And PLEASE do NOT suggest that even though I pay for QBO, I need to consider using a 3rd party app to send a decent looking statement.

I too find having the customer statement incorrectly aligned an embarrassment. 

Left alignment a value column is unheard of.  I agree with all the posts, left aligning is NOT a feature, NOT an enhancement.  Left aligning a value column is a DEFECT.  Really...why is this not resolved immediately?  We're talking a syntax code adjustment from "align=left" to "align=right".

This type of issue cause people to look at other packages to meet their needs.  I use XERO with my other customers and I would strongly encourage anyone using QB to check XERO out.

Quickbooks...You have one very frustrated, embarrassed customer here.

This embarrassing Statement layout glitch was posted here on December 03, 2018. Today is June 03, 2019. That's 182 count days.

First of all, this non-customizable Customer Statement looks like designed by some high-school kid or cheap programmer.

Furthermore, it's obvious proof Intuit doesn't go through even simple software validation process.

How long will it take to fix this minor form alignment issue (if Intuit is caring about it)?
   Most of the skilled programmers would probably say less than 48 hours.
