You can still purchase QB Desktop 2024. After June 2024, I believe they will release QB Desktop 2025 Enterprise. They still need to maintain QB Desktop until we can transfer data from QBO to TurboTax directly.

Still no way to calculate early payment discounts within QBO. I wish I would have known this before converting. What an incredible waste of time in the new and "improved" QBO! Why even have the option to input payment terms?  Is it possible to revert to QB Desktop?

Hello there, Julie.

I understand that things have been challenging for you with the new improvement of QuickBooks Online. I can also see how important it is to have a way to calculate early payment discounts within the program and the option to input payment terms when paying vendor bills. With this, I'll ensure you can send feedback so your suggestion is forwarded to the Product Development Team.

I encourage you to submit feedback on the ability to have the feature mentioned above. This recommendation is sent to our engineer for consideration in future updates.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon at the top.
2. Choose Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then, select Next to submit feedback.

Additionally, you can consider creating a vendor credit as a discount and apply it when paying your bills as an alternative. You can refer to this article to see the steps on how to perform the process: Enter vendor credits and refunds in QuickBooks Online.

On the other hand, yes, you can revert to QuickBooks Desktop. You need to ensure that QBDT is still active when you return to it. Then, you can read this article to see the detailed steps on how to transfer your data from QBO to QBDT: Move your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.

In case you need information on what features are included in the QuickBooks Desktop 2024 release and how you can use them to benefit your business, click on this article: What’s new in QuickBooks Desktop 2024.

Feel free to post again if you need more help related to managing vendor data in QuickBooks. I'd be delighted to assist you further, Julie. Stay safe!

@Julie Swenson 

Is it possible to revert to QB Desktop?

Yes for sure. When did you convert data from QB Desktop to QB Online? Did you still keep the last backup of your QB Desktop file?

"...new improvement of QuickBooks Online"  Seriously?

The feed back option is pointless none of these issues have ever been addressed.  We have been asking for some of them for years.

@ChristieAnn  Given that this feature has been requested and re-requested by numerous people over the past 3 years why would another feature request be beneficial?  This is a pretty basic item that obviously many people need.  Please ask the development team to stop ignoring requests from clients and their accountants and action some of these!  It seems that all their effort goes towards moving things around on our screens that these basic requests fall by the wayside...and it really irritates us.  Thanks.

This is from FOUR YEARS AGO and this is still NOT an option in QBO. WHY?

1000% agree!

We at 5 years now?

Lame answer.  Basically the new improved QB has less features.

really poor solution

I canceled too. guess ill be looking elsewhere for software.

agree 100%

ANOTHER SERIOUS COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT THE LACK OF THIS FEATURE.

LONG TIME DESKTOP PREMIER USER HERE, AND NOT HAVING THIS FEATURE IN ONLINE IS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME, AND PISSES US OFF GREATLY.

SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GOING TO A NEW PLATFORM UNLESS YOU CAN ADD IT BACK.

Start looking for another platform.  I have waited years for a number of things and have seen little if zero changes.  "Updates" usually only involve layout changes which can make Monday mornings super fun trying to figure out where everything is.

Same for me...I  just switched from the desktop to online and I am so frustrated that I am unable to have the % show in my payments... then to top it off, paying vendors online doesn't show the credit info, just short paying invoices.  This is VERY confusing to the vendors trying to figure out discounts/credit taken.  

I was hoping that this had been fixed since this 2020 thread... 4 years later and it's still an issue!

Dec 2024 and this is STILL not fixed.  Paying vendors online, I have no option to use a discount credit or a vendor credit, I can only short pay invoices.  This is very confusing to my vendors!  I can only put "notes" to let them know what I am paying and what discounts I am taking.  How has this feature not converted from the desktop to online version?  This is ridiculous. This thread goes back to 2020 and the only option is a "work around"?

It isn't the experience I want you to have when utilizing QuickBooks Online (QBO) while managing vendor bills. I'll provide updates and guide you through sending a feature request to our development team.

Since the option to show discount credit or vendor credit when paying vendors through online payment isn't available, I recommend sending a feature request to our Product Development Team so they can evaluate it and consider it for future updates. I'll outline the steps to get you going:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. On the top right corner, click the Gear icon.
3. Select Feedback.
4. Enter a brief description of your request and then click Next to submit feedback.

For more information, feel free to check out this page: How do I submit feedback?

Moreover, here's an article to help in handling vendor bills inside QBO: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

I'm always available to help you with bills or vendor management. Also, if you have further questions about QuickBooks, you can use the comment section below, and I will respond as soon as possible. Take care.

already done, but I'm guessing it's not going to change anything since this thread goes back years with the same issue.

all the answers you are getting from QBO are AI generated answers and not a real person.  No one in the company cares about the issues we as customer have, they just want to keep raising your monthly subscription fees, try selling you other products to generate more revenue, etc. 

I have received all of the same responses you have for more than four years and not a thing has changed to help any issue reported.  But with every automatic update you will find the way you did things the day before is no longer the same and you spend more time adjusting to their new crap than you spend on running your own company. 

This is by far the WORST SOFTWARE EVER WITH THE ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!  Everything I said in 2020 still stands and it was happening long before that.  But they deleted my reports and I had to start a new thread.  I guess they didn't like the negative evaluation of their high priced inadequate software and personnel. (developers included)

Good luck with your issues, I truly hope they are able to assist you, because they have done NOTHING to assist us besides cause more problems.

I am looking for another platform as well.  If you have one that you have personal experience or knowledge of, I would appreciate the information.  Thank you in advance if you are able to help to me get off this QBO hamster wheel.

Stop telling people to report the issues and that you are here to help.  Quickbooks fully ignores their customers and only cares about their bottom line.  While the customers bottom line is being destroyed wasting time doing tasks with work arounds instead of basic accounting functions.  

Stop lying to people, it's a disgrace that you give them hope that their issues are being heard and worse yet that they are being addressed.

Open to all suggestions for another platform here.  Quickbooks will not change nor help you.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
