I agree with everything you said. I am a small electrical contractor.  I can't stand having to make a separate change orders outside of quickbooks.   Making one change order messes everything up.  Since the change orders I make are outside of Quickbooks there's no tracking of transactions.  I have to do most tracking manually.   If the change is an additional I can make a separate invoice for it.   That doesn't make things to crazy.   When I have to make a change that deducts from the contract price though, really throws a wrench into the works.   Pretty please with a cherry on top add the ability to make change orders in quickbooks online.   The lack of this ability has made me seriously consider switching accounting programs.   I don't have the problems the poster above has because we are so small.   Change orders are an absolute necessity for every contractor or there.   I would love to know what other contractors are doing for change orders.
