Nope, all  you can do is edit the item to see that, or report on the item using inventory valuation summary

Good morning, @alibhai-mustafa

 

I hope your day is going well so far. I can provide you with some information about if you can see if the product cost when creating an estimate. 

 

I can see how beneficial this would be for you and your business. However, you can only add the rate and amount of the product/service. I'll send feedback to our Product Developers so they can consider this in one of the upcoming updates. They take the time to review every request and try to add them to the next available update.

More than 2 years and still this feature is not available. This is so frustrating that we are thinking of changing to a different product.

Thanks for joining the thread, @Smart Way Computers.

 

We understand that this feature is a great addition to QuickBooks Online if ever it was available. A product cost on your estimate would enhance our services and better meet our users' needs. However, this is still currently unavailable.

 

I recommend sending this suggestion to our Product Team for consideration for future product enhancements. Thus, It still depends on the number of requests we receive from the customers.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
  2. Enter your feedback Suggestion.
  3. Press Next.
