Do you know how I can add a UOM to my invoices on QBO? Is there a specific third party app i can use?

Hello there, Kevin!

I get your point about how important it is to to add a Unit of Measure (UOM) to your invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for a specific data and set it up according to your preferences. However, this feature is currently unavailable.

We understand the importance of having these features available in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for your business preference. Please know that our Product Engineers are continually developing features to assist our customers.

I'd recommend sending feedback so they can consider this in future software updates. We appreciate your suggestion. You can follow these steps on how to send feedback:

1. Log in with your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
2. Go to the Gear  icon, select Feedback under PROFILE.

Moreover, if you are looking for a specific third-party app to integrate with QBO for this purpose, please know that we’re unable to suggest a specific one. However, you can compare their features, and ratings, and read other users' comments on this page: QuickBooks App Store.

I can recommend one inventory management app with UoM feature and it starts from $39 per month for 2 users. It allows to create any name of the desired unit of measure to meet your requirements. Contact me in private for details. 

Hello Kevin, 

I read your post regarding UOM. Can you please share the name of the third party app mentioned in your last thread? 

Did you ever get the name of the 3rd party app that adds units of measure to QB online?

@YBASSETT 

what units of measurement do you need?

Many.
box, case, each, bag, pallet, bar, lb, gallon, pint, quart ect ect ect
No one seems to know of a 3rd party app that adds units of measure to QB online. I went to app page and searched unit of measure and I got one result and it says nothing about units of measure.
What 3rd party app adds customizable (as in we get to name them) units of measure to QN Online?

We appreciate you for coming back, YBASSETT.

We are unable to recommend a specific third-party app that is designed specifically to add customizable units of measure directly into QuickBooks Online (QBO). A good alternative could be to use a complete inventory or business management systems that work well with QBO and offers flexible handling of units of measure. You can check for supported apps through this link: QuickBooks Apps Store or from the Apps menu. Here's how:

1. Go to the Apps menu on the left pane.
2. Click Finds Apps.
3. Type a keyword in the Search for an app field.
4. Select the app you want to use.
5. If you have found the app you're looking for, just click Get App Now.

Integrating a third-party app with your software can expand its functionality and customize it to better suit your business needs. Always verify that any third-party apps are reliable and secure before linking them to your accounting system.

I can recommend a good inventory management for your needs. You can also define your own measurements.

If you are interested in exploring it, you should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA for details.

It seems like a 3rd party app is required to do several basic functions ie different units of measure, creating discount terms for vendors and customers and showing margin, just to name a few. I am seriously questioning the choice of one of our stores to go with QB online vs QB enterprise desktop. Sure online is cheaper but not once you add in the costs of the various add ons required to make it function close to the way Enterprise desktop does. Very disappointing and not explained at the time of purchase.
