Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community again, koberlin1.
I appreciate you for sharing detailed information about your concern. Please know that this isn't the kind of experience we’d like you to have when downgrading your subscription. Also, I can see how important it is to be able to manage bills when using Simple Start to help your business. With this, I'll ensure you can send feedback so our product developers can consider adding the feature you need in the next updates.
QuickBooks Online is where you handle your finances and business. It connects the products and services you use to show data and insights. This allows you to make decisions that matter. New products, reports, tools, features, and functionality drive how we support the efforts of businesses.
Each version of QuickBooks has different features you can use depending on what your business needs. A simple start is an easiest and quickest way for single users to manage all of their income and expenses in one simple tool. However, the feature to manage bills isn't currently possible on this plan because it's a good idea to handle this entry with various users so your data remains accurate.
I suggest going to the Gear icon in QuickBooks Online. From there, I encourage you to choose Feedback and submit a request about having the option to manage bills in QBO. Any recommendations are sent to our engineers for consideration in future updates.
Lastly, I'm adding this article to further guide you in effectively managing your business using QBO: Help guide for QuickBooks Online. It contains topics about advanced accounting, banking, and payments to name a few.
Keep me posted if you need further assistance with any QuickBooks concerns, koberlin1. I’ll jump right back in help and make sure this is taken care of for you. Enjoy the rest of the day and have a great day!
