So an update to share re the solution I am putting in place for a client who needs decent stock control... We are using QBO integrated with SOS Inventory. Its a US company and designed for QBO. Good stock control options and you can customise your sales invoices to show pretty much anything you want. It also offers price levels (which was in QBD but surprise surprise not in QBO). You can get pretty responsive email support and also telephone support are helpful (although they're 6hrs behind) so I'm working evenings just now.
This is all unfortunately a far weaker system than having it all in QBD. My client is having to learn 2 new products and will have manage them going forward. The integration is pretty good so far but having things in 2 places is never going to be as good as in one. So far it has taken days of software trials so my client is very thanksful to Intuit for costing them thousands of pounds and for the worry and uncertainty! We've ended up with QBO as there are some similarities to QBD and my client needed that to try to deal with the issue.
