This functionality is an essential part of any accounting software and should have been included with the "essentials package". I cannot believe it is not, and that Intuit would have the audacity not to include it as part of its "essentials" package.
The company has already upcharged its clients gigantically when migrating from desktop to online. Furthermore, with a switch to online, I am only allowed to bring 1 company per online subscription. So, if I was previously utilizing Quickbooks desktop for more than 1 company, Intuit is now trying to collect a subscription for each company I wish to migrate. For customers who do not like the offerings of the online version, there is also now the fee Intuit is collecting as a result of requiring an online subscription of $540 annually for its desktop version; clients who previously did not appreciate the necessity of upgrading annually (and, why should they when new upgrades are not offered annually) are now required to do so.
I am surprised that so many customers just blindly keep forking over their hard-earned money to this company that keeps finding new ways to extort its customer base. Bottom line, this ability to pass expenses on to client jobs (what online is now apparently calling "projects" should, without question, be included with the essentials package. The fact that the company did not include it is further evidence about how badly Intuit wishes to increase its revenues, while badly sticking it to its clients.
I believe its time for me to explore other accounting software, after being a QB customer for nearly 20 years. If I do chose a new system, you can be assured that I'll be doing it while waiving both my fingers high in the air.
