Thank you. Quick books desktop would require a PC in the field, not a good solution.

A third party app alongside QBO to get features that I need seems like a duct tape solution. If QBO wanted us to be able to work offline it would already be an option,. This seems to be an ongoing 'complaint' , I will search for a solution that works for me. If I reach the end of the internet without finding a good alternative to QB I will be back to figure out the 'QBO with patch' method.
