Why We've Released This Feature
This feature will significantly benefit QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) users. Many companies often use different names for customer records and display name fields. With this new feature, you can customize which naming fields appear as the primary name on Customer, Estimate, and Invoice records. This allows you to choose how your customers are displayed without the need to modify your entire customer database.
How to Enable
Navigate to Company Settings > Estimates & Invoices > QuickBooks.
From this page, find the field titled Default Customer Name and from the drop down menu select either Company/First Name or Display Name.
See it in Action
If you selected Display Name from the Default Customer Name dropdown menu, the Display Name field will now appear as a required field on your Customer records.
The Name field should reflect the customer “Display Name” instead of the default “Company/First Name” for all of the following records:
Customers
Estimates
Invoices
Jobs, Assets
Maintenance Agreements
Custom Forms
Dynamic Proposals
The Display Name will also appear in reporting within FieldPulse.
