Many Many Errors on QBO

Hi.  The latest problem with QBO is when revising an invoice, then trying to save it, I either get a message that "you must select a customer", or "no line item".  Also, when I choose an item with a drop down menu, ie: Sales, the drop down menu does not disappear after I get to the next screen and blocks some of the information I need.

 

The customer is clearly selected.  I'm unable to save changes and it's very frustrating.

 

For "no line item", this occurs when I try to turn an estimate into an invoice.  I go to the estimate, click that I want to make an invoice, then I get an invoice with no line items although they were in the estimate.

 

If I want to see a customer, I'll go to Sales, customer, then enter the customer.  The drop down menu stays open after I get to the place I want to be.

 

Can't tell you how frustrating this program is.

Hi Kenneth,

 

Just FYI, I am not using the QBO app; I use it in my browser.  I found way too many glitches with the app.

I do know how to revise an invoice, however, it's the issues that I mentioned that make it nearly impossible to edit an invoice and save it without jumping through hoops.  Really has nothing to do with the cache.  I did, however, go into the app I used to use and cleared the cache for what it's worth.

 

Still having same issues.

I too am increasingly seeing those types of glitches.  Many times during reconciliations.  When I do try to add a missing expense, the vendor will not fill, nor will it let me fill it in manually.  This is becoming a tiresome problem as well as wasting my precious time.  So, do I bill client for the wasted time because QBO is not performing?  Or do I get some kind of satisfaction from QB's?  Ha ha. That is a laugh.  They don't mind billing you for services that they cannot deliver but will not credit you for time wasted on writing this message or having to shut it down and restart it ...only to find it still isn't working.  It is frustrating as hell and it is unbelievable that a company as large as Intuit/QBs will not give any answers as well as any monetary reimbursement.

The number of GLITCHES - ERROR - ISSUES we face with QuickBooks Online is mind buggling. We should not have to clear our browser cache so often when we make changes. Today, i had to modify transactions entered under ''Customer'' when they should have been entered under ''Supplier'' (Vendor). 

 

Even after reclassifying the transactions, they STILL show up other "Customer'' in Reports!!! To fix this, you have to manually DELETE and Reclassify every god darn transaction. The time wasted doing this is terrible.

 

I never had as many issues when i was using Quicken Home and Business software. What i do like about QBO is more sophisticated invoicing and reporting but the CONSTANT glitches make it incredibly frustrating to use.
