Is it possible to change qty on invoice to a different heading. For example there are times when I need it to say hours, or lnft instead of qty, is that possible? ---

Are you talking about Inventory Items, if yes, then you can choose the Unit type and this will appear on invoices ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/2/24604ea42bbdeffb5eff6723ca1f7c70140914db.jpg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/2X/f/fac834beded00fcb6822a6b1c1bf666bd167de8b.jpg) ---

No not the inventory items. I meant when I create an invoice I would like to be able to choose if I charge by the hour or by linear foot or quantity. I thought maybe there was a way to add in the specific heading as needed. ---

If you use `Billable Time` for the time invoicing, those entries automatically show up labeled as “hours” within the quantity column. But otherwise, so far as I know, units of measure are limited to inventory items, so if you are not using inventory items, you would have to include the unit of measure in the description. ---

Okay thank you. It would be great if there was a way to edit the invoice template, that someone at my level of coding could understand, but I’m not advanced enough to know what I would be doing. ---

> [@AAmey](#): > > I thought maybe there was a way to add in the specific heading as needed That would only work for singular invoicing, but once you have mixed invoicing (hrs & ft) then what heading would be used. ---

Another way is to enter nothing to `Qty` column when creating new invoice and enter number of hours in description. Then `Qty` column will be hidden altogether as it is not applicable. In future, it will be possible to create custom columns for invoice line items so that will be another way. ---

Thank you for all the replies, I think I have chosen a solution for the meantime and @lubos I look forward to the custom columns for invoices in the future, as this would be exactly what I would need for the long term. ---
