Customer Since field

Hi

I'm trying to create a report that contains, amongst other things, the date that our client opened their account with us.  

Within "Customer Snapshot" it gives me the number of years as a customer, however what I really need is the date the account was opened or the date of the first invoice raised.

Please could somebody advise?

 

Thanks!

Chris

Ensure your version of QuickBooks is up to date, ChrisCJY.

Hello, ChrisCJY. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. We can run a Customer contact list report. This report shows the start date of their company. We'll need to customize it to show the date.  

Here's how: 

 

  1. Click Reports and select Customer & Receivables. 
  2. Choose Customer contact list. 
  3. Tap the Customize Report. 
  4. Under Display, and in columns search for start date. You can add up other info you'd like to show in the report. 
  5. Press OK once finished. 

 

You can memorize the report so you won't go over to the same customization process again. Then, you can find the saved report under Memorize.  

 

You can always find me here if you have any other concerns or follow-up questions. Have a great rest of the day and stay safe!

Hi.  Thank you very much for your reply.

 

I had found this as an option, however, when I run the report, the start date field doesn't populate at all.

 

This could possibly be because I have been using QuickBooks Desktop for years, and have had to do several upgrades.

 

Is there any other way that I could access this data?  I think it must be there in some format, as the company snapshot tells me the number of years and months as a customer.

 

Thanks!

Chris
