We have a handyman business that uses sub contractors to do jobs for us. We need a button to create work orders for those sub contractors.

A button to create work order transactions for subcontractors is a good feature that can be added in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @rbarker-mach1. Let me provide further details about this.

With QBO, you're able to manage, pay (i.e., direct deposit or paper check), and track your subcontractors' 1099s accordingly. While a button to create work orders for them is unavailable, I encourage you to send a feedback or feature request. Finding new ways to adapt to our customers’ needs is how QuickBooks gets even better. Your feedback helps our Product Development team decide which feature will be implemented in the next future update.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Type in your feedback in the Share your feedback field.
4. Click Next.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

I've attached screenshots below that show the first four steps.

In the meantime, I'd recommend keeping an eye out on our blog to stay up-to-date on all the latest feature releases for QuickBooks.

Please know that you can always get back to me if you have any concerns with QuickBooks. I'm always here to help. Have a good day.

Consider having a construction management app with subcontractor feature to integrate with your QBO.

Has this been SOLVED? In a way that we can somehow generate Work Orders? 

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, CaitPHG. I can see how essential to have a work order in QuickBooks to show details on who authorized the job, the scope, who it's assigned to, and what is expected. With this, I'll ensure you can send feedback so your suggestion is forwarded to the Product Development Team. 

With QuickBooks Online you can always manage your transactions with contractors to manage their 1099. However, the option to generate Work Order is still currently unavailable and we’re unable to provide you with a specific time frame as to when this feature will roll out. 

Since QuickBooks is continuously improving the product's features to meet our customer's needs, I suggest going to the Gear icon in QBO and choose Feedback from there. Then, submit a request about having the option to create Work Orders. Any recommendations are sent to our engineers for consideration in future updates.

Lastly, you may refer to this article to see steps on how you can run a specific report in QuickBooks that will reflect all payments made to vendors: Run a report with vendor totals.
