Quickbooks Online v. Desktop

I have been a Quickbooks Desktop user for more than 5 years.  I recent purchased a 3 month trial to explore the use with a new company.  The use if confusing and more detailed.  I am unable to maneuver through register as with desktop.  Checks print in reverse order and has been difficult to correct just basic check number. 

Is there a way to make the view resemble Desktop - I have pro version and Online is Enterprise?  This was the reason I did not want to convert my desktop to online.  Please help

Welcome to the Community space, @Linda1704.

 

I can see there are features in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) that you'd want to do in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Know that QBO and QBDT are two different QuickBooks products with unique features. Thus, there are features in QBDT that are not present in QBO.

 

To learn more about managing your company data, here's a resource you can visit: Learn how features and data move from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To print checks in QBO, you'll have to select the Print later checkbox or the Print check option when creating a check so it'll add to the print queue. Then, to print checks from the print queue, here's how:

 

  1. In the left menu, click the + New button.
  2. Choose Print checks.
  3. Load your checks into the printer. 
  4. Select the checking account that you created the check from the dropdown ▼.
  5. In the Starting check no. field, enter the check number of the first check in the printer.
  6. Select the checkbox next to each check you want to print.
  7. Select Preview and print.
  8. If everything is correct, select Print.
  9. If your checks print correctly, select Done.

 

As for viewing your transactions in the register, you can visit this article for more information: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers in QuickBooks Online.

 

For your future task in QBO, you van visit our Community Help page to get some tips.

You should keep using QB Desktop. You can still buy QB Desktop 2023 or 2024 later.
