The fact that 2 lines of basic text cannot simply be removed from this template is a stunning lack of basic consideration by Intuit.

I'm sure I'm not the only disappointed customer who is looking at QBO alternatives, from companies who value their customers.

These types of basic shortcomings are all over the place in QBO. For example, no "quantity total" field for purchase orders, estimates, invoices? A feature which amazingly has been missing for the entire history of QuickBooks.

Making these ultra basic changes would take no more than an hour of a decent programmer's time. However it seems that Intuit is interested only in profit and user data (AKA more profit).  Do better, Intuit.
