Anyone know why in the UK we are not allowed Customer Custom Fields, But in the USA this is a readily available feature?

Hi @deangorton,

 

I believe you're referring to the custom fields for QuickBooks Online (QBO) Advanced. 

 

This feature is found in this article: Create and edit custom fields in QuickBooks Online Advanced. At this time, this specific version of QBO is exclusive to the USA. An estimated time as to when it will be released to other regions is also unavailable. 

 

I suggest you keep an eye out on this page: The QuickBooks Blog. It lists new features that are out each month, along with its short description.

 

If you have other questions about the QBO product, let me know in the comments below. I'll be sure to take care of them.

Can you confirm when this version will go live in the UK and we will be able to use the "Customer Custom Fields" as is currently possible in the USA?

So having received your email that Quickbooks Desktop is going to be discontinued will there finally be some progress in moving the UK Online version to match the American version with options to add customisable fields for Customers, or is this now the final crunch for Desktop users to look elsewhere for an accounts package that does. I already have the inconvenience of running desktop for the majority of transactions but having to use the online version to process payroll as you discontinued that feature in Desktop. At the point you discontinued that Payroll in 2020 I was told that the American style multi customisable fields were imminent and should be in the next release and it seems 18 months on we are still waiting. Whats the problem it can't be that difficult to activate over here too.


Hi copycareoffice, thanks for joining this thread and for your support of our desktop product over the years. While the option to create customisable fields for customers is not yet available in QBO UK, we are constantly looking to expand features in our online platform to ensure this meets the needs of all customers, and we'll be sure to pass on your feedback on with our team. If you have any Q's on the discontinuation or transition to Online, please see our article here or get back to us below!
