I'm going to reignite this conversation. How can we push to have sales orders added to QBO? This is the type of issue that we may have to leave QBO for if it isn't resolved in the near future. Without sales orders, there is no way for product/manufacturing businesses like ours to track our sales pipeline or the costs that go into it. Using "Estimates" doesn't fix the issue, because then you can't use QBO to actually send your customers estimates. We sales orders as an interim step between "Estimates" and "Invoices" to track firm orders received an in process, but not yet billed. 

If QBO can't address this, you're essentially preventing any manufacturing/product based business from effectively using your software. Need action here ASAP.
