There are several ways to navigate the separation of contacts to facilitate proper transaction routing in QuickBooks Online (QBO), shortcutuk. Below, I'll outline the available options.
Currently, directly separating client contacts to specific teams for designated transactions is not feasible within QBO. Nevertheless, you can assign a user the role of Receivable Manager, which is the closest role that matches this function. Here's how you can do it:
- Go to the Gear icon, then Manage users.
- Locate the user’s name and click Edit under the Action column.
- Select Receivable Manager from the Roles dropdown.
- Hit Save.
Alternatively, you might want to explore the QuickBooks App Center suited to your specific needs.
In addition, you can enhance clarity by including notes in each customer's profile to specify which tasks the Project Teams should handle and which the Finance/Accounts office should manage for estimates and invoices, respectively. Please refer to the steps below.
- Navigate to the Customers & leads, then proceed to Customers.
- Choose a customer from the list, then Edit.
- Tap Add Notes and add the information in the field.

- Finally, Save.
Furthermore, QBO Advanced includes a customization feature which enables you to create workflows for automating common operational tasks. This functionality allows you to send reminders to your team for specific tasks, such as reviewing open invoices. Please note this is the closest feature available and is exclusive to the QBO Advanced subscription.
