Thanks for your reply. Along with Notes, I see from your response that there is also an Additional Info tab. I do not have this tab as an option. Why?
Also, you say to click on Sales at the left pane then select Customers. I do not have Sales listed. I think I have Invoicing instead. Does my version need updating?

Hi there, oxymagicjerseysh.
I can shed some light on this matter.
When we set up to QuickBooks Online, program will prompt us to tell something about our business. Then, it will provide us options about what would we like to do in QuickBooks. If we only choose the Send and track invoices option, the program will automatically adjust the set up your company according to your choices in the What would you like to do in QuickBooks? section. Instead of the Sales menu, it will turn into Invoicing menu.
In addition, the Additional information tab that allows you to assign a type to your customer is only available in QuickBooks Online Plus and Advance.
If you want to have the Sales menu, I'd recommend getting in touch with our technical supports. This way, they can pull your account and check if they can change the current set up of your QuickBooks account.

If you're new to QuickBooks Online and currently using the trial version, you can create a new company then select all those options. This way, you'll get the most out of your QuickBooks experience. You can use the same email if you wish to register again.
As always, I'm just one post away if you need additional assistance in managing your account. Feel free to tag me in your comments.
I did as you suggested and called into Customer Support. Nothing you said was true. After being on the phone trying to figure things out for 2 hours, I was informed that this option is not available with the Essential package. That would have been a good piece of information for you to include in your answer.
