Manual Entry in QuickBooks Online

Do we have to count on Right Tools to give us what we are looking for in the future?   You want everyone to move to Online but you can't give my clients the ability to do one simple thing in Online to mimick desktop.  They still want to input their transactions manual for now,  can we just get the enter button to work to move to the next transaction line in the register.  It's driving them nuts and me.  If I am missing 16 days of transactions I should be able to enter them rather quickly but now it takes twice as long.  PLEASE!  I am tired of sending feedback and telling all my clients and colleagues to send it.  We have been asking for over 5 yrs for this simple feature!!

Manual Entry in QuickBooks Online

Transitioning from QBDT to QBO seamlessly is our goal, profinctax. I recognize your ongoing request for a feature that enables convenient transaction entry. In the meantime, I'll provide some alternative methods while you submit a request to our developers.

 

QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online are distinct products, each with its features. That's why we're unable to mimic one, as they have different ways of achieving a task.

 

Moreover, the ability to use the Enter button to manage your entries easily will surely save time. Since this is currently unavailable, I recommend sending this to our Product Development Team. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Under the Profile column, select Feedback.
  3. Share your recommendation with the product, then click Next.

 

Keep an eye on your suggestions on this website and visit our blog for recent developments.

 

For now, you can use the Tab key to move from one field to another within a transaction line. To add a new one, press CTRL+ALT+N on the keyboard. Please know that it inputs the same transaction type depending on what you selected from the small dropdown arrow under the Date column.

Furthermore, create multiple bills or expenses and reclassify transactions if subscribed to QuickBooks Online Advanced. Otherwise, consider utilizing a third-party application such as Right Tools. To explore other options, visit the Apps tab on the left panel in your QuickBooks account or select your region from this link: QBO Apps Center.

 

Here's an article to learn more about inputting entries directly to register: Manually add transactions to account registers in QuickBooks Online.

 

Once done, reviewing your accounts in QuickBooks and matching them with real-life statements is always a good idea. Scan this reference for your guide: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

Your thoughts can contribute to the continuous advancement of the program. Count on us for assistance with overseeing transactions. We'll gladly help you.

Not sure if you know this but you can press CTRL-ALT-N and that will open a new line on a register.
