If your business has minimal to no inventory to track and you know you should be able to convert QuickBooks Desktop to Online, answer the following questions: Do I want to be able to access my accounting software easily from home or while on vacation? Additional considerations before you make the switch Larger manufacturing businesses with work in process and assemblies find that QBD has the more robust capabilities to make it the preferred software. Also, QBO inventory tracking compared to the advanced inventory tracking in the QBD Enterprise edition is rather simplistic. If you prefer the Average Costing method, staying with QBD would be the ideal option. QuickBooks Online, on the other hand, uses first-in, first-out (FIFO).

QuickBooks Desktop uses an Average Costing method to track inventory. If Targets are not an issue, the next area to consider is inventory. You will not be able to do so after you hit that mark.
