How do I create a work order in quickbooks online?

Hello NorthshoreTree,

 

I can see how important this feature is to you and can appreciate being eager to see it implemented. At QuickBooks, we're geared toward giving you the tools you need to complete your accounting tasks for your books.

 

I don't have a timeline I can share about when new features become available in the program. I want to assure you your input is important to us and the product development team takes feedback about features users would like to see into consideration. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to share your thoughts via the steps in this article: How do I submit feedback?

 

While waiting for this feature, you can also consider third-party apps that might do the trick. Use the search bar in the Apps section of QuickBooks Online to see what's available for creating and using work orders with the program.

 

I hope that helps!

Hi Simi. I appreciate you reaching out. Your feedback is valuable and it's important your voice is heard.

Please add this feature, I don't understand how it could be so impossible for a large company to implement a simple form to their program, in true accountant and government form it takes you more than a year to sort out a simple task. Add work orders for the love of god.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Islandwest. As has been shared on this thread, I recommend submitting your feedback about this option using the steps outlined here: How do I submit feedback?

 

The more people that submit feedback about a feature they'd like to see in the program, the better our product development team can see how important a feature it is to QuickBooks Online users. We're constantly adding features to QuickBooks Online to evolve the program and enhance what you can do as a user. I know this thread for work orders has been going on a long time, but submitting feedback is still the best course of action to have this addressed.

 

Take care.

We are also in desperate need of this service, we run a manufacturing company and require job cards to be sent into the factory with no values.


Also, require the pending Sales Order function utilized as pipeline orders

 

Have logged feedback accordingly

 

Really Really require resolve on this ASAP, please

If you are using QB Online, you have to consider an additional app to do so.

Hi RoxyC,

 

Thanks for taking the time to submit feedback about the features you'd like to see when using QuickBooks Online. I hear what you're saying about how these are essential for your business, so feedback if the perfect way to share your voice on these issues.

 

While I don't have a timeframe I can share about when or if they may be added, rest assured that our product development team takes feedback to heart since our goal is to provide a software that meets the needs of business owners and bookkeepers. If you'd like, please feel free to bookmark our QuickBooks Online Feature & Product Updates page, which you can check on from time-to-time to see what's new to the software.

 

In the meantime, third party apps may be able to fill in the gaps. Feel free to research using the Apps tab to see what's available for working with these kinds of forms while still having the chance to sync the data with QuickBooks Online.

 

Don't hesitate to submit more feedback when you have it! Your input helps us grow.

submitting requests from users to dev team will not work. 

 

 

Transparency on this process is required for this thread. Dev team does what they are told that comes down from Exec to Team execs, to managers to leads to dev. At times this resolves the issues in a timely manner as all our auto payments are done precisely to the day.

 

This post started in 2019, here we are 2021 and still no reasonably workaround outside of the differed charge, Can we defer payment for a solution to a collective issue/request/feature on our monthly plan as this seems quite BeTA to me at this time.

 

PS

 

WHAT ERP ARE YOU USING??? Just asking because it seems your not using your product/products/ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING system effectively.

 

Its a work order, add it, too much time has lasped

The 3rd party app is a workaround at the moment.

It's crazy that I pay Intuit to use their product for my business and then am told to go find another app to make my Intuit product work.  Unacceptable.  It's a work order!  We aren't asking for something unreasonable.  Just give us the tools we need to actually run our business without having to source out other products.  Please just make it easy for us.

This is NOT a good solution!  I've submitted feedback and nothing has happened.  Just be transparent with us....is it going to happen or not?  Honesty is something I can respect.

I want to assure each of you that I see what you're saying about this feature being a part of workflow and how using a third-party substitute is not the best solution for you. At this time, I don't have information on when or if a work order feature will be added to QuickBooks Online. Although feedback doesn't get you a direct response, it's the best method to use to communicate your desires to our team as the comments there are reviewed for consideration in future updates, which I know I've mentioned on this thread before.

 

I know it has been some time since this thread way started so it can feel like those voices aren't being heard, but submitting feedback is the key part of the process here since that's forwarded to the appropriate team. We value all feedback and so I want to make sure that everyone has the best steps for how to approach this.

 

Time spent waiting for a feature or needing to use a third-party tool can mean extra work for you, so I can appreciate if QuickBooks Online isn't the right solution for you at this time. While I'd love for you to stick with us, what works for your business is what's most important. I encourage you each to make whatever decision you feel is optimal for your business.

WOW! If I treated my customers the way you treat yours, I’d be out of business. Let me ask you something...why did you respond yesterday? Was it really to tell everyone you don’t care if you have our business? To leave and find a new accounting program? 

None of us need your permission to run our businesses as we see fit, and it’s really quite disturbing that you felt it was appropriate to even say anything at all.

Hi Intuit,

 

I turned one of my ‘estimate’ templates into a ‘work order’ by editing it....this is a customer work around I created for myself. So if I can do this how come the option to create that template and name it as such is so complex? In the amount of time your reps have taken to respond it could have been added to the template option. Just my two cents.

Hi Laura,

 

It me again, and this is about Work Orders (again).

 

Here's the speculation from a customer:  It appears to all of us business owners on this thread that Intuit's QBO management team must have too many layers.  Perhaps each layer trying to spin things in the way that makes them appear great to the next level of boss in turn all the way to the top.  Everyone is afraid to speak about the elephant in the room, so this turns into a whole lot of back patting and jockeying for the next promotion.  Problem is, nobody capable of fixing this appears to be even remotely connected with your customers.  My business would run straight into the ground if I didn't solve problems for my clients ASAP.  We're all in business for ourselves here.  That's such a different mind set than working for someone else and we (your customers) get it 110%.  BTW, do y'all even use QBO to manage Intuit or any of its business holdings?

 

BLUF:  Let's get this to someone with the horsepower to MAKE IT HAPPEN and quit wasting everyone's valuable time (including yours) doing the two step tiptoe around the problem we want your to solve with your product.  

 

Business 101, in case anybody there needs a refresher:  A business exists to increase the wealth of the owners.  It does this by creating value for others.  It creates value for others when it successfully solves problems that people need solved, thus creating value for which others are willing to pay.  Please get your people busy creating the value we are requesting and you have said is being worked on since 2019 - Has it been that long already?!?!?!.  I'm not a programmer, but I'm thinking that this must be seriously tough to program.  Have y'all really had folks busy trying to add the work orders feature to QBO since 2019 as stated by Intuit people on this thread??? .  Be honest, we're all big boys and girls here.

 

All the best!

Ken
