I agree with Bamagirl1. This function in QuickBooks should be an issue that is address and resolved. I read a post that indicated they requested this 10 years ago. I hope there is a solution in the very near future.

We are also an electrical company with multiple items for similar products. 

The creating order/invoicing/estimating needs to be simple and much more user friendly. Our electricians need to be able to create estimates in a timely manner that is not frustrating. A quote/estimate should be an easy process. 

This process needs to be simplified for invoicing, as well. If a system is cumbersome and hard to follow, it makes it very difficult for others to train and get familiar with the system. 

I too, would like to see an item description function which would simplify the billing process.

Thank you and I look forward to our next update including item description search while creating an invoice.:)
