Can you change the default Advanced search headers to always show Description? The Memo/Description column does not show the description information from the invoice.

I appreciate you providing the details, @89720624.

In QuickBooks Online, the Memo/Description column in Advanced Search displays the text written in the Memo on statement field of the invoice, but it does not display the line-item description entered under the Products/Services section. The line-item descriptions are meant for reporting purposes and aren’t visible in the Memo/Description field. This feature is only available in the QBO Advanced subscription.

If you’re using QBO Advanced, you can view the line-item descriptions by running the Transaction Detail by Account Report, which allows you to customize columns to include the Memo/Description. Here’s how to customize the report:

1. Go to the Reports menu and search for Transaction Detail by Account.
2. Open the report and click Columns.
3. Under the More Columns section, ensure the Memo/Description in the Line items is selected.                   

However, if you are not using QBO Advanced, you can manually copy and paste the line-item description into the Memo on Statement field in the invoice as an alternative. This will ensure the description is visible when searching in the Memo/Description column.
