Exporting my Invoice items list?

Customator

I cannot imagine I'm the first person to want to do this, but have followed literally every google and AI searched solution to absolutely no avail! this is ridiculously frustrating!

All I want to do is to grab a copy of my full invoice items list and associated descriptions, download them so I can go through them outside of quicken and refine, organize and rename them with more consistent naming rules. My items get added on the fly, but have done this many times throughout the years and now have some duplicates because I couldn't fine the item due to not having any consistency in my naming rules, and I wanted to simply FIX things. however I cannot find ANY way to achieve this. Of course I can "View items list" and screenshot this visible list but first off the window is so small it doesn't show much of the description associated with the item…and also only shows 10 line items until I scroll and there is no way to make the window any bigger or adjust column widths etc. I've been tole I can retrieve the info through a "Report" but nothing seems to work and based on the method, even if it DID work, seems to me would list a gazillion repeated items as it seems to be listing items from all my invoices which obviously I use the same "item" on every invoice I sell that item to a client! it seems like such a SIMPLE task…yet is proving to be one which instead I've wasted literally HOURS and done nothing more than trigger my anger to a point I'm ready to CHUCK my PC out the window (Me and my therapist are working on those anger issues lol) anyone have any help to provide? (About retrieving the list…not the anger issues lol)

It does seem odd that there's no apparent way (at least in QUS and thus probably QCan) to print the list of invoice items. You might want to create a IDEA thread for that enhancement.

But, in the short run, the only thing that I can think of is to create a fictional invoice that contains EACH item on the list and then print that.

At least then you'll have a paper copy that you can work with to trim your list.

Good idea about creating an IDEA - type discussion to request a new Invoice Items Report.

As far as the workaround is concerned, you might want to create an Estimate instead of a fictional invoice. You can keep Estimates around forever and they won't mess up your Customer Invoices account register.
