HS Codes, EORI numbers and VAT codes in QB Online

Hi Folks,

 

Is there a simple way to handle HS codes within QB online? 

 

We have export invoices and have to show HS codes and Country of Origin for each individual item on any export invoice. Easy to do in our QB Desktop version but with the 'unwanted forced change' to the online version in the next few weeks, how does one handle them simply as we have 

 

QB Desktop allows me to have a Custom field for an item and we can put the HS code in that and apply the field to a custom invoice.

 

Similarly, I have to show any EU customers EORI number on an invoice for EU customs purposes. One has to show that to have any hope of customs clearance. There doesn't appear to be any field under customers to put that information?  

 

Finally, for each order line entered, I have to manually enter the VAT code, whereas with the desktop version this information is pulled through from the customer / supplier centre i.e. I tell QB Desktop that an export customer should use Z as the VAT code and then all items entered on an invoice for that customer automatically has Z applied in the VAT field. For an invoice of 100 lines it's a real pain to have manually enter the VAT code for each line. 

 

Thanks

 

Duncan
