With the new version, on our iPad we have lost the function option to quick add products by way of drop down select function, how do we get this back?

We want you to have the best experience using the software, @afasnewcastle.

I can see that the option to have the quick add product in your end is a crucial feature for any business. Having this available for our customers is how QuickBooks gets even better. Your feedback helps our Product Development team determine which feature will be implemented in the next future update. 

That being said, I suggest submitting a product suggestion directly to our software engineers. We're taking notes of your ideas and insights. Let me show you:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top. 
2. Click Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
4. Then choose Next to submit feedback.

Your relevant feedback goes to our Product Development team to help heighten your experience in QuickBooks Online (QBO). You can track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website. Additionally, you can keep an eye on our QuickBooks Blog to stay up-to-date with the latest news.

In the meantime, you'll want to consider adding the products manually. For detailed steps, please see this article: Add a new item using the QuickBooks Online app.

Additionally, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use in managing your products and services: 

• Use reports to see your sales and inventory status
• Change product and service item types in QuickBooks Online

Thank you for your patience while we work on this. Feel at ease to get back to this thread if you have other concerns with adding products in QuickBooks. I'll be more than happy to help. Please take care.
