Good day all,

I got a elderly client with a very old version of quickbooks point of sale, i believe its the 2013 version.

In there z-out options under filters workstation name i am seeing something total different to what the pc name is. Is there anyway to change the workstation name that is being see by quickbooks ? Secondly on the z-out can the name of the store be on that report ?

Hey, @Andreb1. 

 

Welcome to the Community! 

 

Yes, you should be able to  change the workstation name in an old QuickBooks Point of Sale (POS) by doing the following steps: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu. 
  2. Select Workstation. 
  3. Then you can modify the workstation name depending on your specific QB POS version. 

 

However, depending on your network setup, you may need administrator access to make changes. 

 

Feel free to come back if you have any other questions. I'm only a post away if you need me again. Take care!

Hi,

It seems to be 2013 version of Point of sales.

File -> Preferences -> Workstation .

I see workstation number, i dont see a name option. But if i change the workstation number to let say 3, when i go to the z-out report and click modify, under filters when i click workstation i see the old name as the first option and i see workstation 3 as select able with the name of the machine. I dont know why i can just change the first one or remote it..

Thanks for getting back to the Community concerning changing the workstation name in QuickBooks Point of Sale, @Andreb1.

 

In QuickBooks Point of Sale 2013, we're unable to change the workstation name. As a workaround, you can continue changing the station number to see the old name in running and customizing your reports.

 

Since QB Point of Sale has already been discontinued, your client might want to consider having QuickBooks Desktop to manage products and other purchases: QuickBooks Enterprise Pricing.


If there's anything else I can help you with QuickBooks-related matters, please don't hesitate to post them here. Take care!
