You misunderstand.. again.. no surprise.

 

I am using the new invoice system.

 

I am using an old template.

 

The old template, when printed or saved as PDF, retains the fields are removed from the NEW invoice system, and there is NO WAY to remove them.

 

So, my choices are (while using the new invoice "experience"):

 

1.  Use the new invoice template and have terrible looking invoices and no customization available for it, and again confuse my customers because the invoice template changed again.

 

OR

 

2.  Use one of the old invoice templates I created, but have fields with data on them that is confusing to the customer.

 

Make sense?  Both are terrible choices.  And you didn't add any new features to invoicing.  You removed a bunch:

- editing bill to/ship to address

- subtotals (which lets be honest, didn't work that great since they didn't know how to exclude prior discounts)

- removing the item description from the pop up when keying them in

- removing the option to save as PDF and have it auto name it Invoice xxxxx.pdf

- removing the option to remember your choices on save, exit, etc.

 

There is more.

 

And yes, I've hit that suggestion box 100s of times.  Would be nice to be able to track them and see progress... but there is none, so that wouldn't really help.

 

I'd challenge intuit to let people alpha and beta test changes next time.  Not just make some odd non-business like decisions in the back room because either the coders aren't that good, or the people making the decisions has zero experience with accounting software.

 

I'll try incognito mode one more time.  Maybe that will help.

 

(Sorry to be hard on you, I know it's not you making the choices or doing the coding)...
