Printing QuickBooks Invoices with CCRQInvoice
While most people start using CCRQInvoice to sort orders or add totals of some sort, you can also use it to print invoices, sales orders and estimates from QuickBooks. Our printing system provides a number of features that you don’t find in QuickBooks that can be very useful.
For example:
- We often hear complaints from QuickBooks users about the footer of the invoice showing the “total” block on each page of a multiple page form. With CCRQInvoice you can show that footer on just the last page, which creates a more professional looking form.
- One of our customers needs to print a large number of invoices at the end of each month, and these must be sorted by customer so they can be bundled together. QuickBooks batch printing has limitations and cannot perform this function. CCRQInvoice lets you sort by anyfield, and select invoices from any range of dates.
These are just two samples of what you can do with the CCRQInvoice printing function.
I’ve put together a short video overview that shows how this feature works. In upcoming postings I’ll be showing you how to work with our form designer to create your own forms, and I’ll be providing preformatted forms that you can download and install in your system. Just click on the following picture:

I’m looking for and estimate template that permit to include our contract on the second thru the four page. It’s must have two different formats; the first is the normal QB estimate form and the second is the one that permit to include the contract. Two documents in one.

Eddie, that depends on what you want this to look like. If you just want a long text section to come after the totals, we should be able to do this with CCRQInvoice. I would need to see a sample of what you are looking for if you can email that to me.

There is a problem when printing wherein it adds the a “quantity”, ie. “1″, even if the “item” is a “discount” in the “item list”
ie.
2 table ‘a table’ 100$ 200$
1 discount ‘discount 10%’ 10% -20$
As you can see it adds an amount “1″ on the discount

Yes, Fred, in the public release at this time you will see that. The next public release will include a fix for that (the release date is not set). If you would like to see a field test copy, contact me (or our support department) directly. Please note that there are no charges for updates to our programs.

I would be interested to try the CCRQInvoice just to have the ability to print “sensible” multi-page invoices, but don’t immediately see any description of how you specify that on this blog or the main site. Can you point me to it? Thanks!

David, that depends on what you mean by “sensible”. What are you looking to do? The video in this article shows how to print, and in the example it shows that the totals print only on the last page of a multiple page invoice. If you are looking for some sort of contract page or additional info to print just on the last page, see http://ccrqblog.ccrsoftware.info/2009/02/adding-contract-pages-to-quickbooks-invoices-with-ccrqinvoice/

Thanks – I guess the forms in CCRQInvoice specify the format of the multi-page invoices. The Standard one might work – where on the website can you download other forms?

The standard form is built in to the program. You can use the form editor to modify that to fit your needs. We did have a “library” of alternate forms, but we withdrew that temporarily as there were some problems in how they were distributed, and we have to do some retooling before we post them again.
