When entering bills in QB Online the only option it to enter total. Desktop would allow me to enter items and then it would calculate the total. Why not in QB Online?

AbigailS,  thank you for the information.  To be clear...in order to purchase  QBO account I need to set up a new company name not associated with my current QBDT company name and then I can migrate the other companies that I have on QBDT to QBO.  I have several properties that are all seperate LLC's and currently on my QBDT they are all seperate companies that I access with one paid account.  I hope this is the same and that I dont have to pay a seperate monthly fee for each company.  Please acknowledge if this is accurate.

Thank You

Thanks for the clarification, sharonakd. With QuickBooks Online (QBO), each company file is associated with its own separate subscription. I'll give you more information on this.

 

You can have multiple companies in QBO and each one is required to have their own paid plan. You can access them using the same sign-in information to switch between them easily. 

 

After you sign up for a QBO plan, import your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company file. For the step-by-step guide, please see this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, after migrating your data from QBDT to QBO, there are tasks you need to complete. For more information on these necessary steps, check out this article: Learn what to do after you move from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

If you have any other inquiries about subscribing to QBO and migrating your data from QBDT, don't hesitate to comment below. I'm here to ensure that you receive the assistance you need.

You should stay with QB Desktop to manage multi company files.
