Thanks for providing us with this helpful feedback, @Eva-B.
Let me share some information about the Memo and Description column when generating reports.
The memo field is a convenient feature in QuickBooks transactions, but it is only beneficial when you can make the field visible on your reports. Meanwhile, showing descriptions in reports requires you to edit the item descriptions for sales transactions. When pulling a report, the Memo line on the QuickBooks sales report pulls information from the Item List and not the invoice's Memo line. While somewhat counter-intuitive, using the Item List instead of individual invoice Memo lines provides a more efficient way to work with multiple invoice item descriptions because all descriptions are available within a single list.
