Fortwo days I've been trying to create an invoice but each time I try to enter the customer information (on the second page that comes up) and click "save" the screen goes blank (white). If I select the back arrow on my browser it brings me back to the blank invoice and the whole thing starts over again. I've cleared cache, cookies, restarted computer, tried four different browsers (IE, Edge, Chrome and Avast) and two completely different computers (Windows 10 and windows 7) and the result is the same each time... white screen after selecting "save" in the new customer page. Anyone else seeing this? I have a technical ticket in as of Friday June 26 but no response yet.

Has anyone found a solution? The first invoice we made did fine. Then customer called so we had to make a change to it. Change would not save. Tried numerous times to edit, still no save. Cancelled that and tried to start over, no luck.


Thanks @WayneG1 for posting the CORRECT ANSWER! I was going around in circles trying to figure it out until I saw your post. It's not an intuitive solution, and I never would have looked in that direction to fix the problem. Paypal you really should direct users to this offbeat lateral step when they are setting up an invoice for the first time - I nearly scrapped the whole idea, until I scrolled through 7 pages of community posts and finally got the solution.


I had created an invoice that was going to be added to so I saved as draft. However, now when I log in, I cannot access it anywhere, even the listing for drafts by filter. Where did it go? Argh! It was almost done too :(.


was this ever resolved? did you find yours? I've tried twice now to save invoice drafts and now that I'm willing to just start over a 3rd time and immediately send it out, it won't allow me to alter the invoice number bc it says it's already been used (presumably on my drafts since I haven't


The Business Tag in my New Customer Invoice dialog, Business Tag field, is properly memorized across Quicken sessions.

Is the tag value you are using a true Business Tag, as defined in Managing Business Information, or is it another tag, defined elsewhere?


What version, edition level (Starter, Deluxe, etc.) and release (R xx.xx) of Quicken are you using?

US, Canadian or other country version?

Is your subscription expired or still active?

What I have noticed this morning is that my Vendor Bills does not have this same problem. The business tag is remaining after the bill is saved. I have closed out and restarted and everything I recently put in the last two weeks of May are reverting back and I had to change them again this morning.


Nothing worked. What I noticed was, I added info from last year, a few weeks ago. I added info from mid Feb 22 through Dec 22. Then I started looking into adding additional businesses using the Tag. I had always used 1 tag prior for just the one business. When I started all of that, everything I had entered for last year, the tag had to be re-entered for all of that info that I had just entered. I thought that originally, maybe I forgot to add it, but that is not the case. The tag is already there, I just need to change it if necessary. If I back up to prior all of those entries, I will lose all of that data correct?


I was hoping to be able to see everything from one screen. The businesses all function together. 3 entities are the suppliers of another. I guess I could save myself all this hassle and start separate files, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that. I have tried different ways of entry, for instance clearing the business tag, and then adding it before I saved it, and also tried different invoice layouts.


Hi folks, I called Adobe and they gave me the run around. I just want copies of my invoices for the last 2 years. If you click on the printer icon, it opens up, but if you try to save it/print as a pdf, it omits the lower third of the page, which includes tax, total information. (It does show printer page info at very bottom!?!)YES, I have tried it on multiple browsers. Yes, I'm on a Mac. Yes, when these saved files open in Acrobat Pro, they still are wrong. Call me crazy, but I would think that ADOBE would want us to be able to open/save/print a PDF from their own website??? Adobe help line blames Safari, Firefox, etc. plugins. Really?? Would ADOBE not want to make sure that this BASIC customer service function would work on the computers and browsers that the majority of their PAYING customers use??? If anyone at Adobe is interested in helping, please help me get intact copies of these without having to wash them through several extra steps and software. And fixing this for all of your customers would be nice.


You don't exactly do a save, you start the print process and print to a .pdf. There's a button at the bottom left on the panel: "PDF" that indicates that. Expand the button and select "save as PDF". But the process starts as a print function..


I was able to reproduce this problem a second time. I created a recurring payment invoice, filled in all the info, hit Save as Draft, but the draft is nowhere to be seen in the list of invoices. This does *not* happen when I tried making a simple invoice (not recurring), when I saved that as a draft, it showed up fine with the others. To further confirm the recurring invoice drafts are floating out there somewhere, if I create a new invoice with the same invoice #, it says I can't do that cuz another invoice is using it.


Sorry to hear that you're experiencing some difficulty.

I'm more than happy to help you get to the bottom of your Invoices issue. Do you mind sharing more details or even screenshots for the difficulty that you're experiencing?


Unfortunately I tried to save once and reload the page but nothing, not working.

I also tried to change the browser but nothing seems to not want to know. The only information I can give, and that as soon as I inizto working on a couple of changes has saved me, then nothing.


I want to highlight what has happened to me before, after restarting the webserver, the first time that I tried to save a modified bill was amended without problems the next time not. Now to save the changes always restart the webserver.


However, when i save an invoice as a pdf the file name is a really long jumbled up mixture of letters and numbers, however i did a test sending an invoice through quickbooks and the pdf that is attached to the email quickbooks send has a nice file name that has the invoice number in it etc.


I understand that it isn't convenient for you to rename it every time. However, that's the best option to do at the moment. I will take note of your suggestion and will share this with our engineers. I'm sure they will take a look at our suggested plan carefully and may consider this in the next future updates.


When you save as pdf you should be prompted for a location and, of course, the suggested name is i the location box. Can't you overwrite the name when you save it? You certainly can determine the location to be different than what QB suggests as a default.


If that fails, the other option is to Print to PDF, which allows you to choose your own name as well as location. All you need is an installed PDF Printer. If you do not have one already might I suggest BullZip - I use it all the time with never an issue. You can choose to open the pdf when it is created and from (usually Adobe) pdf viewer you can direct print a hard copy


We also save our documents as PDFs and this default behavior is inconvenient. QB desktop saves documents as "Invoice XX" or "Purchase Order XX". So I don't know why QBO wouldn't do it the same way. It would be great if we could customize it by pulling data from the document, such as "Invoice XX - Customer - Customer PO.pdf" or "Purchase Order XX - Vendor - Date.pdf", etc. But at the very least it should behave the way desktop does.


I see that this could be beneficial for your business and an inconvenience since this option isn't available. However, I'll send feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this in one of the upcoming releases for QuickBooks Online. Our Product Development Team regularly reviews customer-submitted feedback. We're committed to developing an easy to use financial tools that can help you today and grow with you tomorrow.


I agree with the original poster... I also export all my invoices as PDFs because of the unique way I need to package an invoice with other files before sending to client, and it's a hassle having to rename the files every time. It would be much easier and make more sense if the default file name when you Download/Save is the Invoice Number.


is an appropriate file name.



Rather than, I don't know, name the invoice with the date_invoice-number_client-last-name or something logical like that, we're given a cryptic name that makes zero sense.



Who does this? Engineers.



Who creates the invoices? Small business people, many not tech savvy - where adding this additional step leads to one thing - a mess. The result? Inconsistent invoices sent in emails, stored as PDFs on computers etc.










Well, it's now December and this is still not fixed/addressed/clearly documented/improved. I just spent 10 UNHELPFUL minutes on a support chat with an agent who told me that I needed to "set the PDF reader properly". Clearly this is not a solution to anything and a useless statement. At minimum this has been a known problem since February and the chat agents should be able to identify it and not just pass the buck to MY IT guy. Terribly disappointed.


I'm also interested in a fix for this. It would be incredibly useful to have a default invoice prefix/suffix option to add a company name before or after "Invoice_xxxx". Renaming each invoice manually is waste of time in a software that's supposed to streamline workflows like this.
