How to create a backup copy using QBO
I'm on Pro Plus and I want to create a memorized P&L that excludes New Install Income and the COGS for those items. The only option I see is to choose multiple accounts and go through and select every single one outside of those 2. Who comes up with this stuff? Regardless, anytime I create a new account, I'll have to remember to go select it in that report, which is just crazy to me. This is so basic, I don't see why it can't be done. If I'm missing something, please let me know.
The entries could be part of a day or a whole day.
To clarify my question if we are paying standard fringes instead of paying out cash fringes is there anything special to run on the prevailing wage payroll?

why is my federal income tax not accruing in payroll taxes
I was excited to start using the new Outlook (May 2023), which looks and feels more like Gmail (very visual). The Outlook e-mail connector with QB has always been limited and frustrating, so I was hopeful that we'd get improvements with the new version, but I quickly discovered that the new Outlook is currently incompatible with QBD. It will not allow e-mails out of QBD with the new Outlook version turned on and e-mailing directly out of QBD is the only thing that gives the payment button to our customers. Otherwise, I have to save the Invoice as a PDF and then send it through Outlook itself.Yes, I had our IT department run a fix, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I was then advised that I should revert back to the old Outlook for now and wait a month or two to try it again or be on the lookout for updates.Has anyone else had this experience yet or found a solution?
Hi Team, we received your renewal pricing quote. The current price is $1,069.20, up from $970 last year (~10% increase). Can you connect us with the right person?
I logged in to invoice customers today and there is no way in the new FORCED invoice design to add multiple Estimates to one invoice? In the Invoice window, my client's estimates are not even recognized as 'Suggested transactions' - I have tried using a Filter with abbreviated dates and no results are found. How is this done now that you have forced us into your new crappy invoice setup? I can't send my client SEVEN INVOICES at the same time and there is ZERO value to your platform if I have to manage balances manually. Please roll back ASAP and FIX THIS before you push this on everyone. Just awful
How do I sign in on a new computer?
I've just created a limited access user for QB desktop. How can I copy the layout settings from one user to another? I don't feel like trying to "manually" do it.
Hi everyone,Every time I run a report in QuickBooks Online, it defaults to what QBO calls the "Modern View." Personally, I find this view difficult to work with. For example, when I run a Balance Sheet, the report is crammed into a “window within a window” layout, with data pushed far to the right — and there’s no horizontal scrollbar. I have to click and drag or highlight text just to see basic figures.Even worse, I can’t use Ctrl+F to search for specific line items unless they’re already visible on screen — which defeats the point of a search function.Because of these issues, I find myself clicking “Switch to Classic View” every single time I run a report. Classic View doesn't have these problems.My questions are:Is there a way to make Classic View the default so I don't have to switch manually every time?Does Intuit plan to keep Classic View long-term, or is it being phased out? The name “Classic” makes me nervous that it's on the chopping block.Thanks in advance
Is anyone else frustrated with QBO's inability to print/show more than 3 custom fields on an invoice sent to a customer? Custom fields is one of the only reasons I'm sticking with QBO Advanced and paying $180 per month. They brag that Advanced can have up dozens of custom fields. But only allowing the customer to see 3 of them seems like a waste. I'm sure it goes back to the original programming coming from the original QB Desktop version. Just like the inability to print bold or italic characters on an invoice. Really?!? It's 2022!! Seems like these omissions should have been addressed a long time ago. Any insights or news of a fix would be appreciated.
Since April 16th, we have had an issue with the Amex feed loading into our QBO account. The short term fix was creating separate child accounts for each credit card holder (8). Intuit tells me the issue is fixed and it is an Amex problem because they changed the way they are filtering the data into QBO (into child accounts). Amex says this is not true. This has created more work on our end and we have not been able to reconcile our Amex account. How do I speak to a manger when they never call back. The frustration is off the charts. Any insight is much appreciated and thanks for letting me vent.
Buen dia Mi pregunta es como elaborar un custom reports?
We use Project Cost accounting and the Estimate versus Actual reports on a daily basis. Most of our projects consist of estimates for equipment, freight and labor. My question surrounds ensuring the actual costs are reporting against the corresponding estimate line. For equipment and freight this is generally not an issue as the actual costs are generally coming from purchase orders, bills or inventory, all of which require we input a Product/Service and Description (which corresponds to the estimate descriptions).The issue surrounds labor costs. We use ADP which requires us to input payroll costs into QBO via a journal entry. Since the journal entry format does not include Product/Service and Description, any costs associated with the journal entry are assigned to a line by themselves on the Estimate report and do not have any description. I'm assuming that a Product/Service description is needed to assign these costs to the corresponding line. Ultimately the bottom line is
