Question

Invoice not showing on invoice screen

I have generated an invoice and saved as a draft but it is not showing up on my invoice screen as it does usually - the only way I can find it is by searching the invoice number in the search bar. 

I have tried changing the order invoices are displayed in, logging out and back in etc.. it shows up as normal on my iPhone app but not my laptop.

 

Why is it doing this?

Great day and welcome to the Community, @listompy. I appreciate you for your resourcefulness before reaching out to us for help.

 

I've checked our records but we haven't received any reports about the inability to show invoice on the invoice screen using QuickBooks Self-employed UK version. 

 

Usually, an unexpected behavior such as this can be caused by a browser-related issue. This is because your browser can store a cache of the websites you've frequently visited. 

 

Let's check to see if this will work using an incognito or a private window before performing necessary steps on your main browser. Here's how: 
 

  1. Launch a Google Chrome as your main browser. This browser works best with QuickBooks. 
  2. Press CTRL+Shift+N to open an incognito window. 
  3. Log in to your account and check  if you can see the invoice you saved as draft. 

 

If that works, that means it's a browser issue. Go back to your main browser and clear the cache to remove temporary internet files. Otherwise, try using another supported browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. 

 

Let me know if you need anything else. We're always around to help.

I'm having the exact same issue.  My draft invoice appears on my app,  but not my Mac.  I've cleared out the cache as suggested and tried several browsers, but it just doesn't show.  This has only been the case since I upgraded to Open Banking however, so not sure if it's related...

 

Is this a known issue?  Are there plans to fix?  I quite often create drafts so would be good to know why it's suddenly happening.

 

Thanks!

    Hello Knew2020, 

     

     

    Welcome to the Community page, 

     

    In the Self-employed account the bank and invoices are not linked together, so the open banking should not affect you not being able to see your draft invoices, are you selecting the drop down and selecting either all or draft options not the other ones.

    I am having this issue too. Logging in from an incognito window did not resolve it.

      Hello there, @906479.

       

      I appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting steps to view your invoices on the Invoices screen. 

       

      The security of your account is our top priority here in the Community. Since you're still unable to show your invoices after logging in to your account from an incognito window, I'd recommend contacting our QuickBooks Self-Employed Support team. They're able to confirm why you're not seeing your invoices in the Invoices menu.

       

      If you wish to know what to expect when you send an invoice, you can check out this article: What happens when you send an invoice?. It also contains information which region is the Online Payments application available.

       

      Please let me know if you have other concerns. I'm just around to help.

      I've been having the exact same issue. They all show up on my iPhone app just fine, but in the browser they do not.... some do, but not all of them, even when it is set to show all. I have tried literally everything. Clearing cache, logging off, restarting, different browser, different computer... everything. The only way I can see the invoice is if I manually type in the number.

        Thanks for doing the browser troubleshooting steps, Aaron.

         

        At this point, we will need help from Support to assess this further. They can use a screen-sharing tool to gather more data and find the cause of the issue. Please contact them using the steps in this article: Contact QuickBooks Self-Employed Support.

         

        On the other hand, you can find more references for QuickBooks Self-Employed here.
