Are the limits the same as the desktop versions? Does Intuit publish a table?

Hi AndrewShiftGate'

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. You'll find it a great place to get answers to your questions. Paying attention to the details is an excellent way to stay on top of your books. I can share the information you're looking for.

 

QuickBooks Online character limits in fields:
•Email address field when sending an invoice to customers allows 100 characters.
•Custom fields have a 30 character limit.
•Description columns on an invoice have a 4,000 character limit.
•The customer notes field (in the customer center) has a 4,000 character limit.
•The customer message field on sales forms has a 1000 character limit within six lines. If you use more than six lines, only the first six will show.
•The name field on an account in the Chart of Accounts allows 100 characters but no colons.
•The Description field on a voucher check may be cut off if it contains more than 42 characters.
