Intuits QuickBooks software

Hi

When I use the progress invoice method to invoice clients following the
wizard, I enter in the amt to invoice and then magically, the invoice points
the receivable to Allowance for Doubtful Accounts instead of Accounts
Receivable.  It also changes the invoice number.  In other words, the little
window on the invoice now shows Allow for Doubtful Accounts instead of Accts
Receivable.  I can manually change this, but why is this doing this and how
can I stop it permanently???

I’ve checked my templates and can’t see anything there which would cause
this to happen.  I checked that my previous invoice was correct in that A/R
was selected and the invoice number was correct, but again when i tried to
do another progress invoice, the changes automatically happened.

Any suggestions.

I inherited QB 2000Pro at my new position and no one that is left there
knows the password used to get Admin privledges.  My system – peer to peer –
is Win XP.  Does anyone have any solutions about how to get the original
password so I can get in to the Admin area, make users have access and
mostly reset the password to one that I know!

Your help, as always would be very gratefully appreciated.

I am currently evaluating Quickbooks Simplestart under the 30 day
returns policy, but can’t really make up my mind whether to use it, or
(for me) spend a lot of time setting up spreadsheets in Excel ….

The way i see it, unless my accountant is using a 2004 version of
Quickbooks, then i am ‘stuffed’ in giving the file to him as he won’t be
able to read it.

Alternatively, i could just print out reports and give those to him i
suppose, seeing as he has suggested all i need are some basic
spreadsheets. Would the reports Simplestart generates be sufficient for
an accountant to work from?

The $64k question for me is, is Simplestart worth it for a small
business sole trader, or is it really just as easy for me to use Excel?

My only problem with the latter, is setting up the spreadsheets in the
first place! Would i do well to simply get a bookkeeper in to do it for
me at roughly the same cost as the software?

I recently became a consultant and am using QB 2004 set up as a sole
proprietorship. I have set up a new credit card and a checking account
strictly for use of the sole proprietorship. However I have some expenses
that I charged to my personal credit card. How do I record theses expenses
and get reimbursement from the sole proprietorship? I have read that I
should post the expenses as an increase in owner’s equity. If this is
correct what else needs to be done so that I can be reimbursed?
Thanks, Art

To reply to me directly, delete "nospam_" from my email address.

I have multiple business bank accounts at one bank. I wanted to use the
Chart of Accounts to show each bank account as a sub account of "XYZ
Bank", or somehow show how much is on deposit across all bank accounts
at a given institution. Is there a proper way to do this? When I
created my accounts and setup the bank accounts as sub accounts of "XYZ
Bank" it just seemed incorrect. I don’t want to be able to enter
register transactions in the ‘parent’ account…

To sum it up, I’d like to see all the funds on deposit at a given
institution.

Thanks,
Cliff.

Does the rep field have to be entered each time I raise a transaction,
or can QB2004 be made to use the default reps.

I just downloaded my bank statement using Online Banking Center. I
downloaded a deposit of $150. How do I make QB 2003 Pro match it to two
different transactions:

- I made a journal entry for a loan from an investor to the company, credit
$100 to "loans", debit $100 to the checking account

- $50 is consulting income.

Apologies for my general cluelessness, and thanks for any help!

We are using Quick Books Pro 2003.  We are converting from a sole
proprietorship to an S-corporation and want to set up a new Quick
Books file for the new company.  I see how to export/import the lists
of customers, vendors, etc., but I would also like to transfer the
memorized reports and transactions.
I found in this newsgroup an old (dated 2002-12-27) post from Karl
Ivers that said: "one of the nice features on [Quick Books] 2002 is
than you can delete all transactions, leaving your lists in the file
and I assume your memorized transactions."  Did this work?  If so, how
do I "delete all transactions"?

Is there any version of Quickbooks (Pro, etc.) that now offers a ‘dynamic’
memorized invoice (an invoice that is recalled with updated customer or price
information) instead of the same old ‘static’ memorized invoice?  Or do all
changes to a customer record or item record still require manually hunting down
and manually changing all memorized invoices that are impacted by the change?
