I've been trying to condense our company file for a couple of days. The goal is to get rid of all transactions before 1/1/2019. I can successfully run a condense on transactions before 1/1/2018, but when I run 1/1/2019, once it almost finishes, I get this message: "QuickBooks found some problems with your company file, but don't worry! You can fix most issues by rebuilding your company file." - But I ran Verify then Rebuild and Verify again before I ran condense and no errors were found. If I run Verify and Rebuild after this message, it clears the error, but it still doesn't condense. In the log files (QBWin) I found this: ": Unable to read company file attributes - owner id =xxxx} - i saw this message in the error list before.Any suggestions on what i can do to get QuckBooks get rid of transactions i dpn't need any more?
Hello everyone !I need your help: I have a contractor that I loaned $1,000 to.When I had to pay him for his week from my cash on hand account, which was $1,000. I deducted $100 so that the loan would be paid off. To record this, I did the following:1- I created the "Loan to Contractor" account and recorded the $1,000 I loaned him.2- I recorded a bank deposit for $900 in the cash on hand account. (Because that's really what I'm going to pay him)3- I created a journal entry for $1,000 as follows:Contract Labor $1,000Cash on Hand $1,000Since in reality your week was $1,0003- I created a bank deposit from my contractor to the cash on hand account for $100 and in the account I put "Loan to Contractor".And this way cash on hand is $0.00 and the Loan is $900.I did it this way to record that I actually paid him $1,000, and then he is paying me back $100 to pay his loan.Is it correct to do it this way?Thank you very much!
Hello! I do bookkeeping for a client who has multiple QB files for multiple companies. An invoice that is usually paid via the Company that I am in charge of was sent to the person who is in charge of one of their other companies. That person decided to go ahead and pay the invoice just so that the payment wasn't submitted late. I then wrote that other company a check reimbursing them for the cost of the invoice. However, now I am stuck with an unpaid invoice in my QB file. I don't want to just delete it but I'm not quite sure how to track it/journal it properly. I hope that made sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Quickbooks Online is the absolute worst experience for me with book keeping. Much prefer the desktop version.
Bank name and address
with new format in writing an estimate I am getting 0.00 on lines that I am just describing the service. How do I get rid of those. Looks confusing to the customer. Also how do I keep the blank line between items?
Hello, We are recently switching to Quickbooks Shipping manager for UPS. We have been using ShipGear with UPS Worldship without any problems. Today, we tried to ship using it to a customer and it said " ........is not a valid city/state/zip or the street name was not found". We were able to ship to this address using UPS Worldship with no problem before and again today. We verified the address with the customer and on USPS that it is in fact a valid address and correct zip code. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Client of 5+ years set up on recurring invoicing. I process the ach payment on the 1st of every month via saved client banking info which is all accurate. Pmts over the last five years have been declined randomly and then I try again a few days later and it processes. So some months no problem others it eventually processes. In December, declined. Jan declined. I ended up running through my Square account and NO PROBLEM--got paid. QBS insists I should ask customer for another form of payment vs fixing their glitch. After MANY times on support calls they finally told his bank account is flagged but no one apparently knows why. NEVER has the client had an NSF, his bankers verified his account is WELL above and always has been average balances. It's not the bank or his account, it's QBs pmts and I'm about to just leave QBs and turn to another accounting software merely because they won't fix the issue.
I am requesting a jeer button in addition to the cheer button. 1. I am so tired of asking a question and having a moderator just copy and paste some canned answer without even reading my post. 2. I am so tired of having to wade through all the "copied and pasted" answers. I can search and easily find these answers. Please stop copy and pasting. If you must just provide a link. But don't clog up the thread with canned copied and paste answers (especially since most don't even begin to answer the question) 3. I am so tired of having to wade through a bunch of flowery language. I assume the QB moderators have been instructed to look sympathetic and compassionate. But the esoteric flowery language only serves to clog up the answer. 4. Please start reading our questions. I suggest that moderators read the question out loud at least twice before they attempt to post answer. 5. I
I need clarification on the question "who works at this business" in the get started section
Most of my clients have 2-3 1099s to file. I have one client who has (30) 1099 Misc forms that need to be filed. In the past, I've just run them through desktop and mailed them. This year I see that if a business has 20 or more forms to be filed it MUST be done through their portal. I'm in the middle of getting the first step which, I think, is a TCC code. I just read that it takes 45 days to get one. I'm not sure what I do as it is now 12Jan24. Any thoughts on this?
A customer paid an invoice with a credit card thru QB payments. She wants to pay it with a different card. We have refunded the initial payment. How to change the invoice to unpaid without creating a credit.

Classes. We used classes in 2023 and don't want to in 2024. How do I turn off the notifications regarding "you forgot to enter a class for one or more transactions"... In 2023 it just caused more work than help and we are going to give it a year without classes to see how if it works better for us. How do I remove classes? I keep getting notifications to classify things.
I saw that some people saidf to use "Choose File > Utilities > Copy Company File for QuickBooks Mac" to export a QBDT file to QB for Mac. Is that "Copy Company File for QuickBooks Mac" still available on Quckbooks Enterprise Solutions 24.0? I know it is easy for QB for Mac to export a file to QBDT, but not sure if QBDT 24.0 has dropped that conversion. Thanks,
How do I get a call back?
I am a one person self-employed business. How do I categorize when I take profits? Mainly as a bank transfer between my business general operations bank account to my personal checking account to pay my monthly personal expenses like mortgage, utilities, etc. I want to make sure that this is not being counted as an expense or negative income. Thanks.

If I enter an invoice dated Dec 31 for a customer that gets invoiced monthly, but take physical inventory on Dec 30, will the quantity on hand include all items on all invoices including the Dec 31 invoice? Or will I need to add back into my Dec 30 physical inventory the items from the Dec 31 invoice for an accurate count? I thought inventory on hand went by date, but recently discovered that it seems like it instead reads all invoices, even those in the future for an accurate count. Anyone else figure this out?
I had a customer with a balance. Instead of paying me direct, he paid one of my vendors. I entered the transaction as a Journal Entry. On the first line I entered by name that customer, and on the second line I entered the vendor. But when I double-checked, the customer got his balance reduced through the Journal Entry, but the vendor didn't get the credit through the Journal Entry? How could I apply that credit to go to the vendor? (I want it to be linked to this transaction - not a new entry).
Hi,For some of the accounts in my Chart of Accounts, the rows follow a white and then black pattern. However, the black rows have black fonts so you cannot really see anything.
