No need to populate a memo field in your invoice, all you have to do is to enter a text in the Messageonstatement section in your invoice. This way, the information entered in it will be visible in the Memo column. I'll show you how.
Go to the + New menu in your QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Select Invoice.
Enter a text in the Message on statement section.
Fill in the needed details of your invoice and click Save once done.
Then go to the Sales menu and click the All Sales tab.
