Good afternoon, @benaaco. 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. This isn't the impression I want to leave you with. Allow me to provide you with some information about the "Subtotal on the screen" option. 

I can see how beneficial this feature would be for your business. However, this is only used for printing purposes. Using the steps my colleague gave above would be the best workaround for this situation. 

I'll send feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this in one of the upcoming releases. They take the time to review every request and try to add them to the next available update. You can check out our QuickBooks Blog to see what's new in the system. 

If you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll always be around to help. Have a good one!
