Thanks for joining this thread and for sharing that additional info, PioneerT.

I'm happy to share details on how to achieve the report you're looking for in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how to generate a report for invoices with the "unapplied payment" item:

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Navigate to Reports in the top menu bar.
3. Select Report Center.
4. Search for "Sales by Item" and click Run next to Sales by Item Detail to view your sales by product and service.

To narrow down the report further:

1. Click the Customize Report button.
2. In the Columns section, you can add or remove columns, like QTY, SKU, or Item.
3. You can also use the Filters tab to narrow down your report results, for example, by item category.

The following article provides additional info about customizing reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

That will do it. By following these steps you'll be able to view invoices with the "unapplied payment" item. Please feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'll be here to lend a hand.
