How do I add old invoices?

I'm using QuickBooks Self-Employed and loving it so far. I started freelancing a bunch in the last month or two and have just today sent out two more invoices for completed work. However, before I discovered QB I was creating all my invoices in Google Docs. I would like to add these invoices to QB so I can keep track of them but I don't want to re-send the invoices to the clients. Is there any way for me to add an invoice without sending a new one out? I'm still waiting for payment on most of them and it would be helpful to use QB to keep track of pending payments.

    Hi Wigglewaggle.

     

    Thanks for getting in touch with the Community.

     

    I've just been testing this out with my Self Employed account to see if this is possible but from what i can see the only way would be to send the invoice. I suppose one option would be enter an invalid email address or your own email address for the older invoices so that the older invoices are emailed to yourself instead of your customers.

     

    I will be sure to submit this as feedback for the Self Employed product as I know this is something we are able to do with the small business products so i will see if this is something we can get added to the Self Employed product.

     

    If there is anything else I can help with, please let me know. :)

      @AshHThis has worked as a solution. It's not perfect but it does everything I need without confusing the clients.

        Hello 

         

        What format are the invoices in? You can in QuickBooks Online import invoices in the section import data. This is in the cog in the top right>import data>invoices. They would need to be in a CSV format, there is a sample to show what columns are mandatory.

         

        Alternatively, you can create them manually by going to the + symbol in the top left>invoice.
