I love QuickBooks Online (QBO), and have many clients that prefer the cloud-based platform over QuickBooks Desktop; but there are many important features that are lacking (or I just wish we had):
- Payroll Job Costing
- Ability to partially receive purchase orders: right now, you can only fully receive PO’s or not.
- Sales Orders: we need to be able to backorder sales for inventory. Also a sales order fulfillment worksheet as well, to manage open SO’s
- B2B Portal: the ability for customers to input their own Sales Orders (or order requests) and see their account status. Ability for vendors to input bills (or bill requests). QBO 2 QBO users should be able to perform more commerce via QuickBooks directly
- Progress Invoicing
- Item Groups
- Inventory Assemblies
- Reorder Points for Items
- Customer Types, Job Types, and Job Status
- Vendor Types
- Price Levels: more than one price per item
- Change Item Pricing in bulk
- Editable Bank Rules that were creating by QBO automatically
- Item-Level custom fields
Tools for Accountants:
- Batch Enter Transactions
- Batch Delete Transactons
- Fixed Asset Manager / Depreciation Module
- Pivot Table style custom reporting (with access to all fields inside a transaction)
- Combine reports from more than one QBO file
