Quickbooks Questions?
I have a QBB file from a client and when I go to restore it gives me a message asking me to insert disk 1 into the drive that I am attempting to restore the backup from. My backup is on a jumpdrive and so that message doesn't apply but I can't restore. I've tried to put it on other media but it still gives me the same message. Does anybody have any ideas before I pay $50 to ask quickbooks one question? THANKS!!!...

spencirye:It sounds like your client sent you the accountant's copy and sometimes it doesn't open depending on the version of QuickBooks. Try to have the client either use the Adobe online service to send the file to you or email it directly from Outlook Express as an attachment. It will definately work tha... More...

Quickbooks Questions?
If I used Quickbooks in 1994-1995, how much has it changed, and how hard would it be for me to start using it again? I am applying for a position that wants Quickbooks experience, and am up against 2 people who don't have it, so I want to find a way to make myself look better with the past experience I do have. Any help is welcomed!

Thank you....

Jackal:Alot has changed since.

The new quickbooks out now is more automated than the previous versions. It has more functions to allow more commands, more settings and a hell of a lot more options. I would highly recommend checking out tutorials on quickbooks' website, they will definately be o... More...

Shay:I would start back where your employer left off.

Get all the bank statements and pull up the check register in QuickBooks. Start entering checks from the last check number listed in the register. I would enter the information one month at a time and do a bank reconciliation for each mont... More...

Quickbooks Accounting Questions?
First we are a company that does contract work for customers. We do contracts with our customers; we invoice the customer for the approval purchase contract order amount once the job is complete.

Quickbooks Premier for Manufacturing Questions for QB users?
I'm changing computer systems & will be using QB for 2007. My questions is, I'm putting in the customers that have open invoices from 2006, is it better to enter the customers w/an opening balance or put the prior invoices in as their opening balance. If I put the invoices in w/parts that are inventoried, do I need to increase my inventory levels so these invoices can pull from it & not mess up my counts? Also, I have invoices for customers that are finance charge invoices, how would one go ab...

justwondering:I would enter the invoices, but not pulling form inventory. Make a non inventory part item - change the description so you know what it is. Now you have an actual invoice with the original date that will not effect the current year income - which you can look to if a customer needs information. Tak... More...

Quickbooks Question?
I'm am trying to email invoices to our customers through Quickbooks and when the customers receive them they have the grid lines surrounding all the data boxes. How do I get rid of the grid lines? And second is there a way to email an invoice with our company info as a header and print the invoice without the header? I believe I'm using Quickbooks Pro 2005. Thank you...

Quickbooks Question?
I just bought a new HP Computer. I had an older computer, and I bought a portable external memory drive. I am a business person, and I need my quickbooks on the new computer. However when I bring it over on the memory it doesnt reconize the quickbooks file, says it is not in the computer. Can anyone help me?...

Quickbooks question about 1099's?
I'm trying to set up property management in Quickbooks.

The Managers receive rents from tenants and forward them to the owners less mgmt fees and any repairs they've had to pay up front. For Example:

Rent Amount 1900.
Less Mgmt Fee -190.
Plumbing paid by prop mgrs -60.
Amount of Check: 1650.

Quickbooks would put $1650. on a 1099 to the owner but the mgmt company needs it to show the full amount of $1900. The owner then would then claim the expense...

M S 3 5:when you write the checks to the owners, you should always start with the gross amount then deduct the expenses. the 1099 should be set up and it should report the entire amount.... More...

Quickbooks question: If I void a credit memo, the original customer balance will show back up right?
So we had a customer who charged some services. He decided not to pay them. A while later after attempts to collect, our accountant advised me to write the amount off by issuing a credit memo for the amount owed. Now the customers family wants to pay it for him. My thinking is to void or delete the credit memo I issued so his balance comes back up and I can then apply payments. Is that right? I went to quickbooks help and they told me how to actually void the transaction, but not what happ...

pccents:I am not sure why he would have told you to issue a credit memo for the unpaid balance because then it would show in QB as paid, which makes no sense, beacause you would need to take that as a loss at the end of the year when you do your taxes. But, yes delete the credit memo so that the balance sho... More...

Quickbooks Question?
I am importing information from Bank of America to Quickbooks. It keeps telling me that my data has been imported but I cant find it. I have only a credit card account. Can one do this? Where is the imported information importe to?
If you cannot find it then your import formula is incorrect, first make sure the simple things are there, there should first be (I think) 2 lines (if you're importing from excel/iif/csv) that have headings ending with !

Quickbooks question, about inventory items....?
I am working on QBK Premiere 2007. The company manufactures and sellls bath and body products. I am setting up the inventory items. The company sells 5 different products, but they come in many different scents. should I set up an inventory item for each fragrance or for only the items? (i.e. body wash, citrus, summer rain, winter white etc...) I know the answer will be "only if you want to track sales & inventory very detailed, by fragrance." But my question is this, should I? Is it important f...

JR:Yes - Each item should have a different code from the manufacturer. You should have each product listed by type and scent. So if you have five different types of product in five different scents you shpuld have 25 items in your inventory... More...

Quickbooks Question? Custom Fields?
Hello CL, I currently have our company expenses on QBs and then also on a site online that is unrelated to QB. Is there a way in QBs to create a custom field for each line item that I can check or uncheck when I link the QBs to the Online Site? Also if this is possible, then is it possible to run a report on it so I can see at any moment all the line items where I haven't yet linked? Thanks....

Quickbooks Accounting Question?
I am in the process of finishing my bookwork for my year that ended in July on Quickbooks. I am waiting on some paperwork from my bank before I can finish it and give it to my accountant. I would likt to start entering all my bookwork from August into Quickbooks. Can I do this or do I have to wait to get the corrected information back from my accountant before I can start entering in the current year information? I don't want to proceed with the current year and lose everything after I uploa...

NC:You should wait. You accountant may need to make changes to the last fiscal year data. What you can do though is to enter August data before you send the whole thing to the accountant (my accountant, in fact, usually asks me to enter some data after the end of fiscal year before I send my data to ...
