Are You New To QuickBooks?

Here are a few tips for a smooth start to QuickBooks!

Always back up:
There is no such thing as too many back ups, always back up after each session. You can back 
up to a network drive, external drive, CD, or to the Intuit Data Protect service. Before you do 

anything in QuickBooks that you’re are unfamiliar with, make a backup, and then move forward.


Memorized Report List:

Whenever you change the settings for a report, you can record those changes by saving the 

report in the Memorized Report list. Then when you want to create a similar report, you can just 

go to the Memorized Report list to reuse those settings.


Add your favorites to the icon bar!
Save time by customizing your icon bar by adding the features and reports that you open daily 

or weekly. You can add most windows to the icon bar by going to View menu and choosing 

Add [Window name] to Icon Bar.

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 ...
