We are able to quickly see our real-time inventory at each site and deliver just-in-time deliveries to our customers where they need it, when they need it.
Our reporting is now robust and paints the whole picture, helping in our decisions regarding cash management and future investments.
We are beginning to realize savings from accurate inventory movement and better control of Receivables and Payables.
Moving our accounts to new software, as expected, was painful. It involved a great number of resources and time to ensure accuracy.
Although robust, the reporting is not always intuitive. It takes time and effort to create reports specific to your individual needs. The "boxed" reports are thorough, but fairly generic. But, I suppose they have to be to meet the general needs of a wide and broad user base.
The program is fully featured, so, you can expect a long learning curve, especially when you roll it throughout the company at once.
Users can see cost as well once we allow them inventory view access. We want them to see only inventory level/ stock, not the cost at all.
User[s] can change prices at create invoice stage. We should have function to allow certain user to change prices, not all users.
Reporting function is very comprehensive, but it should be further segmented in parts so we can allow users to view only such reports which we want them to. Right now, when we allow they see all sales/receivables report on just one tick.
With so many options, it will take a bit of research to cater to your company.
Does not do automation and has limited bulk capabilities "out of the box," but there's apps for that.
Needs to carry a few more fields across documents. Such as creating a PO to an SO: the SO should not automatically have the PO# on it. Same with Invoice and Item receipts.
Invoice Template creation - antiquated look and feel - text fields at the bottom where we enter our wire instructions is limited to a small field. We can't see how it looks until after we save it. It would be great if all editing could be right on the template.
Reporting features customized for all business types and sizes.

The login can sometimes take precious time with it's authentication requirements which are safety measures implemented for a company's privacy. However, it can be frustrating sometimes when you are under a time crunch. If there was a way to have the security feature be a question or something similar where you didn't have to either check your email or your phone each time you had to login. For the first login I understand the email and phone check but after that it becomes tedious. If security is a factor maybe have password reset after a certain period of time or like I suggested above use a security question or symbol for a quick verification.
I am sure there is a way to fix this but I haven't found it. It's a little frustrating that QuickBooks requires a customer email when sometimes I don't want to send the invoice directly to the customer i.e. when we are preparing bank draws for a customer and need to referenced invoice but have already received payment.
It can be daunting to wade through all the different features and plans QuickBooks offers, it seems there could be a easier/better way to represent the information for customers who want a quick snapshot. This would include some small changes visual or content wise in how the information was presented. Overall this isn't a huge issue but it was definitely something I found to be a little overwhelming and I had experience with QuickBooks previously - I am sure this is a problem when marketing to new customers in my honest opinion.
The specific reports "Job Estimates to Actual" and "Job Profitability Detail" display inconsistent results to each other! The "actual cost" on each of them should be identical!
QuickBooks premium support is included with the plan, but reaching them has become much harder, and the quality of the individual technician has been inconsistent. We've spent hours upon hours, over multiple days, trying to solve some of these problems.
I'd like to see cloud-based hosted solutions made more affordable for smaller companies like ours.
Why is this still a 32-bit program? 64-bit has been the norm for many years and it would speed up the response time significantly I'm sure.
Different forms and reports seem to use different printing coding. Some of my forms print well and some have trouble while I'm using the same computer.
