Sales orders are a must. They have existed in the desktop version for a very long time. I’d love to upgrade to QuickBooks online. It would make doing business easier for me since I’m on the road a lot. Right now I have to remote into my office computer and do what I need to do then e-mail it to myself so I can access it. The work arounds suggested in this article are kind of an insult to those of us who run legitimate businesses. It creates messy records. Tons of estimates to sort through to find the one that’s the sale.  I use old sales records often. I’m not sure how a company that specializes in accounting software cant understand why sales orders should be a priority to be added to their online service or even why it wasn’t included in the first place. Especially when that customer is coming from the desktop version.  The only thing I can think of is this software was designed more for point of sale at a flea market or county fair. Personally I’m already looking into other options.
