Question

How do you turn off the Business Feed and just do local sales? I don't need all these add ons tying up my system trying to find business.

Before you AUTO PASTE you SCRIPT on how you can't do it and that I should submit a case, I have done multiple cases already, submitted feedback 20 times daily in Quickbooks Online for the engineers to move the cursor from the Company Name field of the pop up so it will stop auto pasting the individuals name into the company name field and trying to find a business address for a person, bogging up my system where I can never tab out of it because it keeps the spinning wheel trying to search for business addresses. Once I FINALLY get to the address line and add the customer, their name prints TWICE on the invoice wasting toner. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE - JUST MOVE THE CURSOR BACK TO DISPLAY NAME FIELD - Someone changed it a couples of months back because it recently started this HUGE MESS

This auto-business lookup and those popups have been making my workflow miserable, too, especially when I’m just entering local customer sales. There’s no real off switch for the Business Feed in QBO right now. I’ve looked everywhere and keep running into the same brick wall.

Best workaround I’ve got: when adding a new customer, I just fill in the Display Name and leave everything else blank until after I save. It skips a lot of the auto-fill junk. Still annoying, but it gets me past the freezing and double-name issue most days.
