Can't Email from QuickBooks?

Recently a client mentioned that she was having trouble emailing invoices from QuickBooks. The trouble started after she upgraded from QuickBooks 2006 to QuickBooks 2009. She had always emailed before, but now there seemed to be a problem.

If you are having problems, you may try the following steps to see if that will correct your issues:

Go to the “Edit” menu and select “Preferences.”

Select “Service Connection” and from the “My Preferences” tab, UN-CHECK the box next to “If QuickBooks is run by my browser, don’t close it after Web Connect is done.”




Once finished, select Save & Close. Now try sending a client invoice to yourself to assure that things are working correctly again.

By the way, it is a good idea to send yourself a Bcc whenever you send invoices to your clients....lets' you know that the email went through and allows you to see what your client sees.

I also like to keep a folder in my email by month....I store all emailed invoices. Then if a client says he didn't get an invoice, I have it right there in my email ready to forward, complete with the original date that it was sent.

    We are using POS multistore version 9. For some reason one location can't email our sales receipts to our customers. We've tried the basics... and ideas? Thanks!

      This sounds like a preference was changed. I would suggest going to: File>Preferences>Workstation>Documents and Printers>Print Options>General>"Prompt to email receipt with each sale". I'm not sure why it got unchecked for you, but that should fix it.

      Also, as a heads up, POS V 9 will no longer be supported by Intuit after May 31st. If an upgrade to POS 2013 is needed, please contact our POS resale partner QB Doc at 775-348-9200 – as we can usually get the best pricing available.

    Thanks much! That fixed my issue which occurred when i changed email servers. Not sure why the service connector would cause it but it's fixed!

How to "Un" Apply Credits In QuickBooks

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then

QuickBooks Password Protection

QuickBooks now requires your employees to enter a password to view their pay stubs when you e-mail them. QuickBooks generates the passwords automatically; each password consists of the first four letters of the employee's last name followed by the last four digits of their Social Security number. Examples Name:                            SSN:                         Pay Stub Password: Ben Narramore              855-56-4545             narr4545 Deb D'Spain                  782-34-3419             dspa3419 Jimmy Wu                     903-88-7465             wu7465 Note that all characters must be entered in lowercase and punctuation characters are not included in the password. When a last name has fewer than four characters, the whole last name is used (like in wu above) but no additional characters are added. You will need to inform each employee of this new password requirement
