    Hi Tony40​ - thanks for the question.

     

    You can add text into the Description field in a line on the quote without having to add any category, item or pricing info.

     

    But unfortunately you can't adjust the position of the lines in a quote the same way you can in an invoice.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Hi SupportNoteGuy,                 

     

    Adding text in the Description field in a line on the quote is not an acceptable solution.

    The space is too small for "precise" information to be imparted, and can lead to a simple one page quote blowing out to three pages.

     

    Reading through the forum this suggestion has been raised by others over the past couple of years and developers need to address it, and not mark as solved with "You can add text into the Description field in a line on the quote without having to add any category, item or pricing info.".

     

    And same goes for 'Changing the order of line items in a quote', I note this has also been requested and suggested by others in the forum.  Whilst your voting system on suggestions is great in theory, it's seems to be failing those of us who are typing QUOTES in MYOB daily and need the flexibility to:

    1. Change the order of line items in a quote
    2. Add a text line item that uses the full width of the page, (not just the small description field)

     

    I really hope this message finds the right person that will get these changes done in a timely manner.

     

    Thank you in advance!
