Although QuickBooks Online Advanced has the ability to track inventory it is not the same as Advanced Inventory found in QuickBooks Enterprise.  QuickBooks Enterprise allows for features like barcode scanning and assemblies and to do the same in Online Advanced you would need to add apps to get the equivalent functionality.

If you are looking for inventory tracking that includes functionality like barcode scanning, tracking by lot, bin and serial number, landed cost, FIFO, assemblies, or pricing rule automation, you would want to take a look at QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum or QuickBooks Enterprise Diamond edition as they come standard with those features.  If you need something with remote access, you can always get the Cloud Hosted version of  Enterprise so that you have the ability to access your data anytime and on any platform.

No.  Fathom reporting used to be included in QuickBooks Online Advanced but is no longer.  Here is the statement from Intuit:  As of June 1, 2022, we will no longer be offering Fathom with new purchases of QuickBooks Online Advanced.

The new version of reporting was created by Intuit and is pretty robust with features like real-time insights, spending roadmaps, a new revenue streams dashboard, and cash flow reporting along with all the other standard reports that were included before.  In addition, there is now an onboard custom report builder that lets you customize your dashboards and reports so that you have access to the KPIs that are important to you and the ability to sync data directly between QuickBooks Online Advanced and Excel.

There are many differences between QuickBooks Online Advanced and QuickBooks Enterprise but Online Advanced being the top product in the online category, it is probably the best one to compare to Enterprise and really the only version you should consider if you are thinking about making a switch.  The biggest difference straight out of the gate is that Enterprise is a desktop “on-premise” version of the software while QuickBooks Online is a web-based version of the software.  This means you can access Online from any computer, phone, or tablet vs always having to use a Windows computer to access your data.  Enterprise does have a solution for this by adding cloud-hosted access and for most people that need the features only found in Enterprise, that fills the gap.

Although both have their pros and cons, it really comes down to the type of business you have and the functionality you need.  If you are a service-style business with no heavy demands for inventory tracking or assemblies, QuickBooks Online Advanced will probably suit you just fine, and if you need to add some functionality, there are lots of apps that you can bolt on that will get you where you need.  On the other hand, if you need more specific functionality like barcode scanning, tracking by lot bin or serial numbers, automated pricing rules, or assembly builds, QuickBooks Enterprise would be a better place to start.  If you would like to get more detail on the differences, you can click here for an article that discussed the topic more.

There are many differences between QuickBooks Online Advanced and QuickBooks Premier primarily because one is a desktop “windows based” software while QuickBooks Online is a web-based version of the software.  This gives you the ability to access Online from any computer, phone, or tablet vs always having to use a Windows computer to access your data.  Although you can add cloud-hosted access to QuickBooks Premier, it can get expensive really quickly and for the functionality you are getting in Premier, QuickBooks Online would be in many cases, a much better choice.   In addition, with all QuickBooks Desktop versions now being subscription based for the same or maybe just a little more cost, you are going to get much more value in the way of features, reporting, and integration.

Here are some of the key areas where QuickBooks Online Advanced is going to stand out:

1. Web-based so you can access it from anywhere and on any device including Apple/Mac as well as phones and tablets with the free app.
2. Access to up to 25 users and up to 3 remote dedicated accountant logins
3. Manage things like mileage tracking, cash flow, and project profitability
4. Custom access with roles and permissions
5. Automated workflows
6. Manage your bills and vendor payments
7. Batch invoicing and expenses
8. Create and track projects all in one place
9. Track employee time by client and project
10. Track products, cost of goods, see what’s popular, create purchase orders, and manage vendors.
11. Greatly enhanced reporting and KPIs with the ability to create custom fields and the ability to sync data with your Excel spreadsheets
12. Connectivity with online channels and marketplaces like Amazon, Shopify, and eBay
13. 600+ exclusive app integrations that allow you to increase productivity and customize your software
14. Free 24/7 dedicated support and access to Priority Circle online training

With the majority of the focus and growth coming in the online space and the consistent migration away from the older versions of Desktop Pro and Premier, making the move to QuickBooks Enterprise or QuickBooks Online Advanced is, in many cases, a smart choice.

Yes, you can.  When you assign the standard user role, QuickBooks lets you choose the user’s access rights. You can choose to give them all access, limited access, or none. Here are the 4 primary roles in QuickBooks Online Advanced:

1. Primary Admin: The primary admin is the main user who has access to every part of the QuickBooks account. They can manage all users and other admin tasks. By default, the primary admin is the person who initially set up the account.  If you need to assign a new primary admin, you can transfer the role to another user.
2. Company Admin:  A company admin has access to every part of the QuickBooks account. They can do everything the primary admin can do, except edit or remove the primary admin’s access.
3. Custom User:  This user can have specific access to areas in QuickBooks Online. This gives you even more control over what they see or do. For example, you can allow a custom user to see only the Bank Deposit screen.
4. Standard User:  You can set different levels of access for this user. They can work with customers, sales, vendors, and expenses. These users can enter timesheets, add users, update company info, or manage subscriptions.

Yes, QuickBooks Online Advanced will allow you to create and use projects to track your project’s profitability. You can add project income, expenses, and labor costs, and run project-specific reports from a single dashboard. If needed, you can also add old transactions to new or ongoing projects.  Here are the steps below on how to set up and add transactions to a project:

Step 1: Create a new project

1. Go to Business overview and select Projects
2. Select New project.
3. In the Project name field, enter the project name.
4. Select the project customer from the Customer ▼ dropdown.
5. Add any notes or details about the project in Notes.
6. Select Save.

After you’ve created a project, you can add both new and existing transactions to the project.

Step 2: Add new transactions to a project

You can add new transactions like invoices, expenses, or estimates directly into your project. Adding transactions to projects won’t change how they’re categorized or affect your accounts. You’re simply marking them as a part of the project so you can track a specific project’s income and expenses.

There are two ways to add new transactions. You can create the transaction in QuickBooks as you normally would. Just enter the project name in the Customer/Project dropdown. Or here’s how to create a new transaction from within projects:

1. Go to Business overview and select Projects
2. Select your project.
3. Select Add to project to create a new transaction.
4. Select Invoice, Receive Payment, Expense, Estimate, Time, or Bill.
5. Fill out the details for the transaction as you normally would.
6. Select Save and close.

Step 4: Add existing expenses to a project

If you have existing expense transactions that you’ve already added to QuickBooks, like bills, checks, expenses, or purchase orders, here’s how to add them to your project:

1. Go to Bookkeeping, select Transactions, then select Expenses.
2. Find and open the transaction you want to add to your project.
3. In the Customer/Project column, select the ▼ dropdown. Then select the project. Do this for each expense item you want to add to your project. This is different from the payee for the expense. Note: If you don’t see the Customer/Project column, you can turn on the setting Track expenses and items by the customer in the Expense section of your QuickBooks account.
4. Select Save and close.
