We appreciate your efforts in providing detailed information on adding Container Numbers to your Journal Entry and customer list for invoices in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, Barzan.

While QuickBooks doesn’t have these features by default, we offer flexible solutions through third-party tools on our Apps page. These tools can help customize your invoices and journal entries, allowing you to assign a container to each customer and include the Container Number in your journal entries. Once you can find one, you can start integrating it with your account.

Here's how:

Sign in to your QBO account.
Go to the left panel and choose Apps, then click Find Apps.
Use the Search bar to find a specific app or browse the categories and industries dropdowns to refine your options.
Once you have found one, click on it and follow the instructions to integrate it into your account.

Know that we value the needs of every business, including yours. Since this idea could be beneficial for you and other QuickBooks users, I suggest submitting a feature request directly to our Development Team.
