QuickBooks 2005 Product Sunsets



“Quicklet” - A Podcast for QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise Solutions, Point of Sale and Peachtree users featuring helpful information, tips, tricks and suggestions for bookkeepers, business owners, and consultants.

Ask the QuickBooksGal!
Hi, I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal. Welcome to another in my series of “Quicklets” – informational podcasts about QuickBooks, Peachtree and related bookkeeping topics.

Final Reminder: Upgrade QuickBooks Now!

Those of you still using QuickBooks 2005 (Pro or Premier) or QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions 5.0 AND processing your own payroll. Please, upgrade to the newest version of QuickBooks before May 31st. We have made this point before, but it is incredibly important to do this. If you don't, you will find that when you go to pay your employees in the first week of June, you'll be in trouble.

Inuit's sunset policy means that if you use payroll, process credit cards in QuickBooks, or care about getting technical support directly from Intuit, you must upgrade by May 31, 2008.

Please don't hesitate to call us if you need expert assistance in upgrading to the 2008 edition. And don't miss out on the opportunity to save 15-20% on your software by using our web store. Don't be the person who calls on June 6th and says "my payroll isn't working!" (though, we're happy help even if you are that person - you' may find yourself in line behind the 20 other people who are calling with the same crisis).

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
