I currently use Quickbooks Desktop. which allows me to create more than one debtors account for GBP. 

 

On Quickbooks Online, you can only have one debtors account - Does anyone have a work around for this please?

QuickBooks Online has one debtors account which all  sales transactions post to. If you migrate to Online, all of your debtors accounts will be carried over, however transactions created online will only post the default debtors account. We welcome any feedback from other users :)

 

Thanks

According to your article about the Chart of Accounts, it is possible to have more than one debtors account in Quickbooks Online. In the table, it says "If you need to use more than one debtor account, QuickBooks will let you choose the debtor account that you want to use when you create an invoice or receive a payment."

 

We have multiple debtors accounts, however on creating invoices, there is no option to choose which account to use (effectively as the Debtors Control Account). At the moment, these are going into the wrong debtors account.

 

How do I define which debtors account I want my customer invoices to be allocated to?

Hello Phil_UK, thanks for posting on this Community thread, You can have more than one debtors account however you're not able to change the default debtors account so when you create an invoice etc it will use the default account, if you want to use an alternative debtors account you would have to create transactions using journal entries.
