QB ONLINE Versions

I have 2 companies in QBO.

 

My first location was started on QB Desktop and was converted to QBO,

 

my second company was started Online from the beginning.

 

The QBO layout is different for my 1st company than my 2nd company..

 

The largest difference I have noticed so far is when you are adding a new account, QBO is totally different. The newer company has Icons at the top to tell QBO the new account is an expense or liability etc. my older company askes what type account and if I want to make it a sub account. 

 

The main issue is I need to make sure some of my GL Accounts for both companies are exactly the same so they sync with my POINT OF SALES SYSTEM called Toast Xtrachef.

 

Do I have an "old school" setting on one company and my new company is the newer look?

 

The filter searches seem to bring up similar but different results as well. 

 

Is this because it is a desktop converted company?

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, Rooster96h.

 

To verify my understanding, are you using our QuickBooks desktop app, instead of accessing your platform through a web browser?

 

If so, it's possible you may encounter a different display while creating accounts on the Chart of accounts screen. You can try signing in with a browsing application to see if you receive the same results.

 

For a list of supported browsers, you can check our System requirements article.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about creating new accounts which may come in handy moving forward: Add an account to your chart of accounts

 

I'll be looking forward to your reply. Have an awesome Wednesday!
