Hello there, @Tracy Corley.
Let me share some information about the two differences between QuickBooks Online (QBO) and QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Before anything else, it would be helpful to know if you're experiencing any specific issues in QBO. Please feel free to share your concerns in the replies below. You can also attach a screenshot to provide me with a clearer understanding and enable me to assist you more effectively.
I completely understand your sentiments in finding that some features in QBDT are not available in QBO. While QBDT offers highly customizable accounting software with advanced inventory and job costing features, QBO provides accessibility, flexibility, and collaboration. These differences make the two products distinct platforms with their own unique strengths.
In the meantime, you can check out the different features offered by the two platforms here: Choose the QuickBooks Desktop or Online product for your needs.
I genuinely want to ensure you're taken care of. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts below. I'm here to address any concerns you may have and help improve your overall QuickBooks experience.
