Workaround for the ommission of price rules

Seriously does anyone have a workaround for the ommission of price rules in the update? I just don't understand how they think taking features away is solving anything.

Workaround for the ommission of price rules

I know that having this feature is beneficial to your business, @sara95.

 

I'll share an alternative to help you achieve your goal of utilizing price rules.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you still have the option to create several price rules. However, applying them to the invoice and estimates in the new layout experience is unavailable. 

 

A workaround I can suggest is to look for a third-party app that meets your needs. I'll show you how to look for one. Here's how:

 

  1. From the left panel, click Apps.
  2. Go to the Find Apps tab.
  3. Use the search bar and enter the keyword to look for an app.
  4. Choose an app from the list.

 

As for which app you can use, although we're unable to recommend which ones to use, you can view an app's rating (stars at the bottom of the app's name). You can also open the app's page and read the user's comments on the app in question. It can give you a general idea of whether an app meets your company's standards.

 

For reference, check out these articles:

@Carneil_C when is QB going to stop making the user run around in circles??  This has been ongoing since at least eight months.  And QB still has no fix?? Get us some real answers, please.

You can use CRM apps with the price rule feature to integrate with QBO as a workaround.

@sara95 can you elaborate on this?  Exactly how to do this?  Is this going to apply the price discounts missing from the new QB layout?

@Rea_M I do not want to hear these pointless suggestions of sending feedback.  I've been sending feedback every single day, multiple times a day. I have also been on the phone for hours with "Priority Circle".  Fix this software that many businesses have invested so much time and money on!  If this is not fixed we will need to move on!
