Scan Manager discontinuation

I recently moved from Quickbooks Premier 2019 Desktop to Quickbooks Premier "Plus" 2022 for Desktop.  After installing the "upgrade", I noticed that the scan manager has been removed.  This is a vital feature in our day to day operations.  We use for every single transaction posted to Quickbooks.  The new method of attaching documents is wildly inefficient.  Please bring back the scan manager as soon as possible, as this is costing users time and money.  It really makes no sense to move in reverse.  What exactly are we paying for in "Plus", when features that we've built processes around are being made to be inefficient.  Thanks a lot, Intuit!

This is the worst! I also scan hundreds of documents to attached to every invoice I send out.  QB needs to rethink this change. 

Way to throw us back to the stone age Quickbooks!!   Have you ever heard of paperless workplaces? 

Why would you discontinue this? Are we now supposed to buy all of our employees a 

work cell phone ? Employees do not want to use there personal cell phones to scan for business 

purposes and as an employer I DO NOT WANT THEM TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION. This is the

worst upgrade of all times!  I'm sure many will be looking for a more modern and innovative

software, I know I will....... 

Removing Scan Manager was a bad decision.

Now there are extra steps in order to add scanned items into QB.
If I wanted to be "Mobile" with my QB, I would have switched over to the QB-Online program.

So, now I am supposed to download QB to my phone, pull out my phone, photograph an item I want scanned and then add it to QB?  I'm sorry, but phone pictures of something is not going to be as good of a quality as scanning with my scanner.  I primarily used the Scan manager for adding copies of checks to customer payments and insurance information for my sub-contractors.
Freaking stupid.

Bad enough that I now have to pay for a subscription in order to use QB desktop.  Just another expense that QB is implementing on people.  I used to only upgrade every 3 years.

We are now considering another accounting software for our company.  The scan Manager is a big part of our everyday operations.  We are an Inspection Company and need to scan documents to attached to our invoices for emailing to our customers. We have thousands of buildings in Illinois.  We will not add any more steps for our 8 employees to perform it would take too much time to scan to the computer and attach to QuickBooks when you can scan right into the program.  I upgraded 8 machines to 2022 to find out the Scan Manager was missing, so lost a complete day because I had to roll all machines back to Enterprise 2021 so our office wouldn't lose any more time.  Extremely disappointed with how Quickbooks can be so STUPID and regress with Enterprise 2022.  We pay over 6k for this program a year. There should be a credit available for an upgrade that's useless or here's an idea PUT THE SCAN MANAGER BACK so we can upgrade.

I'm uninstalling version 2022 today and going back.  Removal of scan manager is a totally foolish feature to remove.  Why don't you fix the problem instead of just removing a feature. Doing multiple page purchase orders that have to be attached to an invoice is ridiculous.  Any multi-page document is now a tedious photo shoot.  Not to mention to do an 8.5x11" page you almost have to stand up at your desk to get the camera high enough.

Not to mention all the other points brought up by others in this thread.

Bring back scan manager!

Yes, I really used every invoice. I actually went back and reinstalled the 2021 version. It’s stupid they removed it

Just because something is new & "updated" doesn't make it better!!!!!!!

I'm so annoyed right now, it is so iconvenient not to have the scan mgr feature..... it sux

We are upgrading from 2019 to 2022... or at least, we WERE going to do so.  Luckily I called to ask some questions about upgrading and found out about the integrated scan function being removed so we are only upgrading to 2021.

Who at QuickBooks Engineering or Software Design thought this was a good idea?

We scan hundreds of documents on a daily basis.  We DO NOT use any online version of QB and we are NOT going to be buying all our employees cell phones. The extra steps even for the mobile app will make our scanning take 2 to 3 times as long, which is ridiculous.

When will the function be brought back to the Enterprise Desktop version?

This just another way to push desktop users to online, look what they did, they remove scanner option that is normally done on an office environment and give us the phone option, not productive at all on an office and more like small or on the road business. Removing a feature is never an upgrade, if they add the phone option and keeping the scanner that will be an upgrade. For me I am going back to 2021 (or 2020), it is what best fit me. Intuit is pushing us out of the desktop version and that will eventually happen, but that does not necessary means we will go to their online version (at least me), and even there are not too may options today it may be on the future. When they push the yearly subscription upgrade on 2021 in order to get access to the online service it make me have my doubts, but I decide to stay for few convenience features, for me was the (1) attachment (and don't tell me is there, yes it is but is more inconvenience, and for the way this is going it not be at some point, who knows) (2) bank online download to match QB transactions (this is working half way for me, Chase do not use internet explorer anymore and that's the core for QB, so download and import is the way, there was a time when chase was using internet explorer, but they move on to the new Microsoft standard internet browser but QB did not move to the new Microsoft standards) (3) last the payroll inside QB (but to keep this you need to upgrade every year and also pay a payroll subscription)

At this time for me "Scanner": half productive, "Banking Download": halve productive, "Payroll": Full productive (for now) and at a price of QB yearly subscription + Payroll subscription.

It is a hard time for business to survive, Intuit is moving forward with their business plan base on their income, so I am on my saving plan. On the fair way, if to keep their business alive they need to increase subscription I agree with them on that, is what we all do to keep our business running pass the cost to the customers, but we don't remove service, we always try to accommodate our customers needs and charge for the service we provide, at the end of the day we are on business because of them. 

A this time I have options, keep the 2021 (or 2020), that way I'll keep my scanning option, (full service), loose the banking download (loose full service) and get a different Payroll software (full service with somebody else), this way I'll keep an important feature for me, banking download will be sacrificed but I can live with non automatic transaction matching.  

Intuit, this is the way some of us think and may act on it, here you are loosing, it does not matter to me if you bring the scanning back because you can take it away whenever you think is the right time for you. I see the trend here, and is only moving us to online, I'm on premier, but just to think you remove this from enterprise confirm you want to finish the desktop option, and this release show it is already fading out.
