Hi Intuit,

 

Just wondering - when are you planning to open the Mileage tracking functionality to all users in QBO and not only Master Admin?

 

It's been giving a this message for several months now:

You can't access mileage just yet.

This feature is only available for master admins.

 

Regards,

Alexey Danilov

Welcome back to the Community, @Alexey Danilov.

 

Currently, only the Master Admin can access the Mileage tracking feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO). The ability to let other users use it is not yet available.

 

I'll pass along your suggestion to our Product Developers. They're always looking for ideas from users on how to improve QBO. In the meantime, I recommend visiting our Blog site. This is where we share recent happenings and future developments, such as updates to newly added features.

 

Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: Track mileage in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns, and I'll get back to you right away. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much for responding to me so quickly - very helpful!

 

Just for my knowledge - is there any specific reason why only master admin and not ordinary admins? Is this feature still in Beta?

 

Thanks,

Alexey

We appreciate and have taken note of your feedback , Seppo. 

 

While using it is unavailable for other users, you might want to consider using one of the available third-party apps in our App Store. Just go to the Apps menu and proceed to the Find Apps tab. 

 

Please know that all of the apps that you can see in the App Store can be seamlessly integrated with QBO. 

 

I can also see that feature requests have already been shared to our product engineers with regards to the Mileage feature. It's also best if you can share your feedback directly to them by clicking the Share feedback button within the Mileage menu. The more feedback and request they receive about this, the more chances it'll be considered in the future updates. 

 

We'll let you know once an update is available. You can also reach out to us again anytime you require help when working in QBO.


Hi

 

I am the master admin on Quickbooks but it won't let me in either? It says you have to be Master Admin? I am?

At  minimum, it would be helpful to allow the outside accountant to access this information.  Small businesses are starting to say "but that information is already entered!" when asked for mileage information at year end.  It's creating a situation where the accountant doesn't look knowledgeable.

There are several admins in my company's QBO, but only one master admin that can use Mileage tracking? Please open this feature to everyone or remove it until it is ready for general release.

Hello PaulBell1, 

 

So currently it is still the same, only master admins can use the mileage tracking functionality. 

 

We have passed the feedback on from our customer for more users to be able to use this functionality so it may come in the near future.
