Suggestions to Quickbooks for making inputting of expenses MUCH easier and efficient
Good afternoon Quickbooks
After using quickbooks online for a few years now, I would like to make some suggestions about how QB could make inputting of expenses and bills much more time efficient for users - particularly those with large numbers of line items. These comments would also be true for using the Invoicing form too.
1. Column Fill Down - For example when I have a large number of chargeable line items to input from an expense or Bill, I have to click in and search the drop down list for both the Category/Product/Service and for the Customer/Project. I then have to individually select the correct choice for each and every line item. If I have a large number of similar line items and/or are chargeable to the same customer then this is VERY tedious. A fill down feature where, for example, you could fill in the first row and then drag down to fill the cells below with the same information would be really helpful and intuitive.
2. Copy and paste into QB from a table - It would be so much more efficient if it was possible to copy and paste into a QB expense or bill from a table in say excel or other program. Currently the only choice is to either manually type in each QB cell or copy and paste individually into each cell. This is very time consuming and tedious when you have large number of line items to input. The ability to copy at least a column from excel into a QB expense or bill column would save hours of work per year. By its very nature manually inputting values or copying in data cell by cell leads to human mistakes and errors which could be avoided if a simple bulk copy and paste was available.
3. Please could the enter/return key be used to drop down a row in a column which would make data input more familiar and intuitive.
Thanks!
