1. Code payments to a Class

   Balance Sheet report by class will not balance because payments do not come out of the Asset checking account by class. It would be great if payments could assign the Class from the expense being paid and lower the class checking account. Balance sheet reports that have a checking account in the Asset will never balance.

2. Option to upgrade to the new Estimates/invoice layout

   I spent 2 hours speaking to representatives about this issue. The goal is to send an estimate, have the customer accept the estimate online, and have a deposit requested automatically.
   The OLD invoice layout does not allow this. The new one does. There is no way to upgrade from the old one to the new one. The representative suggested i create a new QBO account, which I did, and it had the new layout. Then i would need to backup all of my data from the old account and move it over manually. Its crazy to request that from a customer, when there could just be an option to use the new template. On top of that, the NEW account i made, reverted back to the old template after creating a few estimates so it ended up being a useless venture. PLEASE let me upgrade to the new template!

3. Need more customization options for new invoice format

   I've seen several forum posts about issues with invoice formatting, some aesthetic and some more function based. So I'd say overall, there just needs to be a better way for each company to build it's own invoice format.

   For us, we wish that there were more design options, and we really wish that we could remove the "Ways to pay" graphic with the credit card icons. For us it feels unprofessional and gimmicky. The default email message also felt super gimmicky. Using a subject line with the phrase "new payment request from ___" makes is sound like a phishing scam.

4. Need to be able to change "Amount Type" after initially creating new product.

   I decided to finally rip of the band-aid, so to speak, and start using the new invoicing format. I'm frustrated with a lot of the changes and find it generally very cluttered, but the biggest problem that I'm having has to do with the "amount type" selection when making a new product within an invoice. This option seems to be available ONLY when making a new product from within an invoice and not when making a new item from the products page. There is an option for "amount type" that allows you to chose either flat rate, unit, or hours. I made the mistake of overlooking this option when as I was creating some of my items and accidentally left them on "flat rate" rather than choosing "unit". I only sell physical products, so I really need my invoices to list the quantity and unit price of each item, but because I accidentally chose "flat rate", it only shows the total sum for those items. I cannot find a way to edit this "amount type" anywhere or make any other changes within QB so that the quantity and unit price appear on my invoice. This is so frustrating and poses a major problem for my buyers. Most buyers send purchase orders, so they need to check that the quantity and unit price match their PO. I don't want to delete the items or duplicate them because we already have a dense product catalog and want our sales reports to be as clean as possible. I just need to edit that amount type!

5. View ALL transactions in a project including checks

   Previously when opening a project, by default we would see a list of all transactions within the last year for that one project.

   However, it seems now under Transactions, the most you can filter is All Sales, which excludes checks from being shown.

   In order to show the checks, we now must filter using the "Check" option, which will only show us just the checks. There is now no way to actually see ALL the transactions for one project on one single page.

8. Multiple Shipping Addresses

   I'm on QB Online Advanced and I received this link. It seems to be Modile even though the header says Online. As I research switching my entire operations to QB Online Advanced I find that unless creating a "sub-customer" that a customer can only have ONE SHIPPING ADDRESS. This is a BIG PROBLEM! We sell to office supply wholesalers, or even large retail customers, who drop ship to many different locations. It is cumbersome to set up "sub-customers" when all I want is to add a simple shipping address under my customer. I've had 4 proprietary programs in our small industry that I've leased since 1992 and each one had the ability to list multiple shipping addresses. Yet software leading QB is limited to ONE ADDRESS? Huh!?!?

9. Please allow us to switch between old and new templates for invoices.

   please allow a button for us to switch back and forth between the old and new templates.
   the old templates are very cluttered and ugly, I prefer the newer ones.

10. Need Ability to Create 2 Late Fee Streams

    Need the ability to create 2 separate late fee items. My client has a late fee policy for tenants of $50 after a 5 day grace period AND $5/day. Should be a very easy update. Most platforms I've used already have this option.

11. Better Communication

    We've been asking for an update on an investigation number since Friday 7/14/23. The only update we have received is "they are working on it" It has been well over a week. Our whole accounting system is down. The previous tech in the chat tried to help. Today Din would not and refused to connect me with someone from the department handling our case. Stated they could not. But the customer service reps on 7/17 & 7/19 could not. All I received was this link to post in. We have been beyond patient with the issue we are having. It's coming up on month end & a payroll week. We have been a customer for many years, and all we are asking for is update on the issue at hand and estimated date when our accounting will be back up and running.

13. Common Chevrolet Problems

    Chevrolet, a renowned subsidiary of General Motors, holds a reputation for crafting vehicles with commendable performance and reliability. However, like any other brand, Chevrolet cars can also face certain mechanical issues over time. Understanding these common problems can help Chevrolet owners maintain their vehicles better and ensure a smooth driving experience. This guide aims to outline the frequently reported issues in various Chevrolet models, and offer potential solutions.

    1. Issues with the Transmission System

    1.1 Impala's Notorious Transmission Failure

    The 2005 Chevrolet Impala is infamous for its transmission system issues. Owners have reported experiencing loud noises, jerking, and stuttering, preceding a complete transmission failure. Such a malfunction requires a comprehensive overhaul, which can be quite costly.

    1.2 Trailblazer, Cruze, and Silverado Models' Hard Shifting Problem

    Several Chevrolet models, including Trailblazer, Cruze, and Silverado, have been reported to experience hard shifting, stall outs, lurching, and jerking. These transmission-related issues can hamper the seamless driving experience that Chevrolet promises.

    1.3 Malibu's Transmission Troubles

    Chevrolet Malibu models, particularly those from 2002, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2016, are known to suffer from transmission problems. Issues include jerking, rough gear changes, and failure, especially in high-mileage vehicles.

    2. Oil Consumption and Cold Weather Adaptability

    Chevrolet Equinox models, particularly those from 2005, 2007, and 2013-2016, are notorious for excessive oil consumption. Owners have reported that the oil burns off too quickly, causing potential engine damage. Moreover, the interior components of this model are not adequately designed to withstand cold weather, leading to further problems.

    3. Air Conditioning and Drivetrain Problems

    3.1 Colorado's Faulty Air Conditioning Blower

    The Chevrolet Colorado model has had several instances of malfunctioning air conditioning blowers. A defective blower can significantly hamper the vehicle's climate control system, making the ride uncomfortable, especially in extreme weather conditions.

    3.2 Shifting Delay and Power Steering Loss

    Another common mechanical problem in the Chevrolet Colorado is a shifting delay. Drivers have reported a delay that lasts for more than three seconds, causing inconvenience during gear changes. Additionally, instances of power steering loss and engine misfires have also been reported.

    4. Fuel Pump Failure in Blazer Models

    The Chevrolet Blazer is another model prone to mechanical issues. The most significant problem reported by Blazer owners is fuel pump failure. An insufficient fuel supply from the tank can prevent the vehicle from starting, necessitating costly repairs.

    5. Malibu's Engine Power Loss

    Engine power loss is a common issue with the Chevrolet Malibu. This problem can significantly hamper the vehicle's performance, leading to frustrating driving experiences. Power steering malfunction, broken front coil spring, and a cracked intake manifold gasket are other common issues with Malibu models.

    6. Steering Wheel Locking in Silverado and Colorado

    Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado models have reported instances of steering wheel locking while driving, which can be potentially dangerous. Drivers have had to continuously jiggle the steering wheel to keep it functioning, leading to unsafe driving conditions.

    7. Water Leaks in Chevrolet Models

    Water leakage is a common issue in several Chevrolet models, with the Equinox being the most affected. Leaks around the windows lead to moisture and mistiness, while issues with the sunroof can cause water pooling inside the vehicle.

    8. Brake and Electrical System Malfunctions

    Chevrolet vehicles, especially the Suburban, Camaro, and Silverado models, have reported multiple issues with their braking systems. Instances of brake locks failing during driving and brake assist failure have been reported. Additionally, electrical defects like failing backup cameras, defective parking assist, and difficulties with Bluetooth connectivity add to the list of potential problems.

    9. Excessive Oil Consumption and Engine Problems

    Excessive oil consumption and engine problems have been reported across several Chevrolet models, including SUVs, pickup trucks, and cars. Such issues can pose safety risks, increase repair costs, and generally worsen the driving experience for Chevrolet owners.

    10. Delays in Parts and Repairs

    Chevrolet owners have often complained about lengthy delays in getting necessary parts for their vehicle repairs. Such delays can be extremely inconvenient as they prolong the waiting time for necessary repairs and can leave the vehicle unusable for weeks or even months.

    Thanks for giving your valuable time to read this blog, If you are having a car and In case you are looking for a trusted car inspection to have an expert’s opinion before buying a car, we would like to suggest Service My Car, the best and trusted car inspection workshop in the town.

    In conclusion, while Chevrolet is known for manufacturing reliable and high-performance vehicles, like any other brand, they are not immune to mechanical issues. Understanding these common problems can help Chevrolet owners maintain their vehicles better and ensure a smooth driving experience. If you're a Chevrolet owner facing any of these issues, it's advisable to contact a professional mechanic like Service My Car to get your vehicle diagnosed and repaired promptly.

19. Brake Fluid Change: A Comprehensive Guide

    Brake Fluid Change: A Comprehensive Guide

    To ensure your vehicle's safety and operational efficiency, regular maintenance is crucial. One aspect often overlooked but critical to your car's braking system is the brake fluid. This article will delve deep into the world of brake fluid changes, exploring the importance of this procedure, signs that indicate it's time for a change, the cost involved, and more.

    1. The Importance of Brake Fluid

    Brake fluid plays a vital role in your vehicle's braking system. Acting as the lifeblood of your brakes, it's responsible for transmitting the force of your foot on the brake pedal to the brake discs or shoes, allowing your vehicle to slow down or stop.

    1.1. The Role of Brake Fluid

    Like oil for your engine, brake fluid is critical for your vehicle's safety. It operates under high temperatures and pressures, withstanding rigorous conditions while maintaining its properties.

    1.2. Hydraulic Braking System

    Modern vehicles predominantly use hydraulic brakes for slowing and stopping. Here, the brake fluid (also known as hydraulic fluid) comes into play. Over time, however, this fluid can become contaminated.

    2. Contamination of Brake Fluid

    Even though the hydraulic brake system is sealed, the brake fluid can become dirty and contaminated over several years of normal use.

    2.1. Causes of Contamination

    There are several causes of brake fluid contamination. The additives in the brake fluid may wear out over time, or moisture can find its way into the hydraulic brake system and start to affect the brake fluid chemistry.

    2.2. Effects of Contaminated Brake Fluid

    Contaminated brake fluid can dramatically impact your brakes' performance. You may notice a spongy feeling when you step on the pedal, or your vehicle may not stop as quickly when making a hard stop.

    3. Signs You Need a Brake Fluid Change

    Recognizing the signs that your vehicle needs a brake fluid change is crucial to maintaining its optimal performance and safety.

    3.1. Soft, Spongy, or Bouncy Brake Pedal

    A soft, spongy or bouncy brake pedal is a common sign that a brake fluid change is due. If you need to press the brake pedal all the way down before your vehicle slows or stops, it's time for a brake fluid check.

    3.2. ABS Dashboard Light

    The ABS dashboard light indicates an issue with your anti-lock braking system. If this light comes on, it could be a sign that your brake fluid is low and needs replacing.

    3.3. Ineffective Braking Performance

    Any delays or difficulties while slowing or stopping could indicate a need for a brake fluid change. Other potential issues could be warped rotors, worn brake pads, or a problem with another brake system component.

    3.4. Strange Noises or Smells when Braking

    Unusual sounds or burning smells while braking could be due to low brake fluid or another brake system issue. If you notice these signs, it's best to get your vehicle checked by a professional.

    4. Brake Fluid Change Frequency

    Knowing how often to change your brake fluid is also essential. Most manufacturers recommend replacing your brake fluid every two to three years or every 45,000 miles, whichever comes first.

    4.1. Manufacturer's Recommendations

    Each vehicle manufacturer may have different recommendations for brake fluid change intervals. Therefore, it's best to refer to your vehicle's owner manual for precise information.

    4.2. Visual Check

    You can also perform a visual check of the brake fluid yourself. If the fluid looks dark or murky, it's time for a brake fluid change.

    5. Types of Brake Fluid

    There are several types of brake fluid available, including D.O.T. 3, D.O.T. 4, and D.O.T. 5. Each type has its pros and cons, and the type of brake fluid your vehicle needs will depend on its make and model.

    5.1. D.O.T. 3 and D.O.T. 4 Fluid

    Many vehicles call for either D.O.T. 3 or D.O.T. 4 fluid. These brake fluids have been around for a while and are trusted by several vehicle manufacturers.

    5.2. D.O.T. 5 Fluid

    D.O.T. 5 fluid is a newer variant and has several advantages. It doesn't eat paint or absorb moisture, making it a great improvement over its predecessors. However, because it doesn't absorb water, any water that enters your brake system can form pools that can corrode your brakes.

    6. Changing Brake Fluid: DIY Approach

    Changing brake fluid yourself is possible, but it requires some mechanical know-how and the right tools.

    6.1. Tools and Materials

    To change your brake fluid, you'll need a baster for removing the old fluid and some lint-free cloth for wiping out the reservoir. You'll also need fresh brake fluid and possibly a brake fluid test kit.

    6.2. The Process

    The process involves removing the dirty fluid from the master cylinder reservoir, cleaning it, and refilling it with fresh brake fluid.

    7. Professional Brake Fluid Change Services

    Service facilities now use brake flushing machines to change brake fluid.

    7.1. Brake Fluid Flushing Machines

    These machines flush and replace the brake fluid in your brake system, ensuring a thorough and efficient process.

    7.2. Professional Recommendations

    If there's no recommendation in your vehicle's owner manual about how often to change brake fluid, you can consult a professional technician for guidance.

    8. Brake Fluid Change Cost

    The cost of a brake fluid change can vary depending on your vehicle's make and model and the service provider. However, it's generally affordable and much less expensive than the cost of replacing brake system components damaged by contaminated brake fluid.

    9. Routine Maintenance for Brake Fluid Changes

    Routine maintenance is key to keeping your vehicle running smoothly. On average, a brake fluid change is recommended every 2 years or 30,000 miles, depending on your driving patterns.

20. Estimate Subtotal Headings

    Hello QBO Online team - I'm posting this in the mobile section because I'm having a tough time finding where to create a new idea in the QBO Online forums, I hope it reaches the right people.

    It would be very helpful to add a feature that allows the user to create headings within the content of an estimate. If a job has multiple parts, it can be hard in the current format to delineate between them.

    The subtotal function is good, but it would be more useful if the user were able to title or give a heading to each subtotal section.

    For instance, if I owned a landscaping company, and was approached by a business with multiple locations for an estimate, subtotals with headings would allow me to create a single estimate that encompassed all of the work I would do for each of those locations. If the business decided they only wanted me to work on one or two of the locations, it would be very easy for them to see which location cost what amount.

    At the moment, the simplest thing to do is to create multiple estimates, which can look unwieldy and unprofessional.

    Please add this if it's possible! Thanks very much!
