This was not a problem until the last update. We also use to use a product line item labeled discount and just enter the discount and description there but now there is no negative symbol on the calculator so it won’t allow a deduction. Can some fix this or tell me how to fix this issue. Thanks

We'll troubleshoot your mobile device as problems like this are often caused by outdated or corrupted data, @plumbstuff.

 

Let’s begin by clearing your app’s data on your device. This will reset the app to its default settings and remove any cached files that might be causing the issue.

 

Here’s how:

 

For iOS users:
 

  1. Open your Settings, then tap General.
  2. Tap iPhone Storage and find the QuickBooks Online app.
  3. Tap Offload App.

 

For Android users:
 

  1. Go to the Home menu or tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
  2. Tap Settings, then choose Refresh Data.
  3. Tap Yes to confirm.

 

If clearing the app data doesn’t fix the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the QuickBooks app. This will ensure you’re using the latest version.

 

Alternatively, you can log in to your QuickBooks Online account using another supported web browser on your mobile device.
