There are a few key options for customizing your Sales Forms in QuickBooks Online. Your small business can track a customer from “Estimate” to “Invoice” to “Payment” to “Deposit”. QuickBooks Online allows you to customize your customer “Invoices”, “Sales Receipts” and “Estimates” by adding your Company Logo and choosing the look and feel you want to present to your customers with each sales form you send to them.
If you will be creating multiple partial invoices from a single estimate, you will need to go-to “Account and Settings”, “Sales” and “Progress Invoicing” to turn-on this feature. It is very important to create “Invoices” or “Sales Receipts” for your customer sales transactions. Do not just post customer deposits to income accounts from within your bank feed. If you do not create sales forms, you will not be able to produce sales reports in your QuickBooks Online account.
Deposits added directly to income accounts through the bank feed will not show up in the “Sales” module, regardless of whether you assign a customer to the deposit. The reason for this is because there was no actual “Sale” recorded for this customer. This also means that it will not show up in your customer sales reports.
