ChristineJoieR  Your answer is actually very NOT helpful.  It is the same as previous answers which tell us the scan feature is gone and to submit feedback.

What WOULD be helpful is if you let your management know about this.  Why is it only on us AS PAYING CUSTOMERS to submit feedback which we are not sure will even be seen? How will we know the feedback will move up the chain? How would we know if someone decides to ignore the feedback?   

Additionally, why would we have submitted feedback on a feature that we had no idea was going to be removed?

If your company's decision makers, as well as your programmers, actually use QuickBooks and have any working knowledge of the uses for any feature that comes up in discussions as potentially to be removed, they would have known what an essential feature it is.

We are already unhappy with the forced subscription model so this doesn't help.

Can someone give us an REAL update?

I'll also check out the the other links you posted but it seems like there is no actual real answer.
