Question

Hi Intuit,

 

Just wondering - when are you planning to open the Mileage tracking functionality to all users in QBO and not only Master Admin?

 

It's been giving a this message for several months now:

You can't access mileage just yet.

This feature is only available for master admins.

 

Regards,

Alexey Danilov

Welcome back to the Community, @Alexey Danilov.

 

Currently, only the Master Admin can access the Mileage tracking feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO). The ability to let other users use it is not yet available.

 

I'll pass along your suggestion to our Product Developers. They're always looking for ideas from users on how to improve QBO. In the meantime, I recommend visiting our Blog site. This is where we share recent happenings and future developments, such as updates to newly added features.

 

Just in case, I'll add this article for future reference: Track mileage in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns, and I'll get back to you right away. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much for responding to me so quickly - very helpful!

 

Just for my knowledge - is there any specific reason why only master admin and not ordinary admins? Is this feature still in Beta?

 

Thanks,

Alexey

Good to have you back, Alexey.

 

This isn't a Beta feature. But rest assured that we want to make mileage tracking most useful not only for the accountant but for clients as well.
 

You might want to ask your admin to Send feedback within QuickBooks. That way, our developers might be adding feature enhancement for this soon.

 

If there's anything else I can do to help, please don't hesitate to get back to me. I'm always here to help.

At  minimum, it would be helpful to allow the outside accountant to access this information.  Small businesses are starting to say "but that information is already entered!" when asked for mileage information at year end.  It's creating a situation where the accountant doesn't look knowledgeable.

There are several admins in my company's QBO, but only one master admin that can use Mileage tracking? Please open this feature to everyone or remove it until it is ready for general release.

Amy update on this at all?

Hello PaulBell1, 

 

So currently it is still the same, only master admins can use the mileage tracking functionality. 

 

We have passed the feedback on from our customer for more users to be able to use this functionality so it may come in the near future.
