QuickBooks Q&A

Hello,I have just run my first payroll with new employees, who have been assessed for auto enrolment to the Nest pension scheme.I can see their Pension enrolment notifications, can you tell me if these have automatically been emailed to my employees, or do I have to download them and email them manually?Thanks

I've turned off some of the headings but still can't drag to see the full information.  Any suggestions?

as a director how do I pay myself mileage claims? The help pages keep telling me to set up vendors, create a bill, etc... but when I try it I get taken to an upgrade page so I assume QBO can't actually do it?

HI all, Hope your keeping well and safe I am setting up CIS and noted that Income and Expense accounts are created specifically for it.Does that Mean I can not now use income accounts to track different sales that I make (below)?I already have 'Services' (that I sell) setup so that they post to different Chart of accounts Income accounts i.e. a Service named 'Mechanical' that  posts to a 'Mechanical Contracting' Income account then a service named 'Electrical' that posts to a 'Electrical Contracting' Income account because I want to see the sales for each separately in my Profit and Loss report. And similarly with different discipline sub contractors in COG's accounts. Can I no longer use this if I use CIS? i.e. Do all CIS Sales and COG's go to these new CIS accounts? Any help would be appreciated or pointing in the right directions for resources to learn.  The QBO CIS learning resources are short in detail. Thank you  

I have been unable to download the Workplace Pension reports for the last couple of weeks.   I'm told the 'link is broken' and advised to try again later.  I'm still trying ...  This seems to have coincided with an update and new look to various reports.  Can anyone please advise?

Why should all expenses subject to CIS have to go to a single account? It is absurd, to say the least, that when using CIS all other categorisation flies out of the window. Does CIS mean the end of organised accounts? With regards to VAT, any number and type of accounts can be set up. When entering a bill or expense, any of those categories/accounts can be selected whilst also choosing whether vatable or not (and what rate). A default VAT rate can be set to a supplier, but that can be amended and doesn’t affect the category. Why can’t CIS be the same? Categorise the transaction as you wish in addition to selecting whether to apply CIS. Off-course, the actual rate (0% / 20% / 30%) will be set according to the payee. It's hard to believe such a major fault still exists. As a workaround, though far from ideal, I would set up CIS sub-accounts within the existing categories. However, a sub account can only be of the same type as the parent account. Worse still, no n

Checked Barclays - Open Banking connections are fine, no flag on account. Euro account is connected and updating as normal. My Sterling account looks like it connects when performing reconnection (including telling me it's downloading transactions) but then reports it hasn't updated for (currently) 21 hours. If I try linking it as though it is a new connection it lets me select the account at Barclays but then doesn't show the bank account on the chart of accounts to select when it asks for Account Type (but sees other cash at bank accounts). This is infuriating. I rely on being able to update the bank account in quickbooks automatically and in real time. Today has been a total waste. Quickbooks point the finger at Barclays, Barclays point the finger at Quickbooks. Of course like everything these days everything is always someone else's fault. Quickbooks logged a ticket for me and emailed me to say they would attempt to fix this 'within 15 working days'. - In which unverse would that b

Signed up for the standard subscription and had my intro phone call last night. Repeating bill transactions not included? Surely that's wrong?

I.e. I pay £152 (£126.67 plus £25.33 VAT), my contract is to invoice my client “at cost”, should this be £152 plus £30.40  VAT?

Last connection I did on July and now it's not reconnecting to bank. My bank is Revolut.

I have quickbooks self-employed in the UK.  I buy lots of books which are not an allowable expense tax purposes.  I want to record them as an expense so I know how much I am spending on them, but I don't want them to come up as an allowable expense.  What category should I mark them as when I log them as transactions?   Many thanks.

Every so often, when I sync my bank account and credit cards, random suppliers are being created.For example, I just synced now, and three suppliers have been added: Adobe, Costa Coffee, White Horse.There were lots of transactions on the credit card, but only these three were created as suppliers. There are no transactions in these new suppliers at all.The audit log shows that Online Banking Administration performed a manual sync, and then it shows 'Added supplier White Horse' at exactly the same time. Again, the audit log entry shows the User as 'Online Banking Administration'.Previously, I've been renaming these random Suppliers to 'Z Deleted 1,2,etc', and then marking them as inactive, but every so often they reappear.I now have around 15-20 of these extra suppliers which I can't actually permanently delete.I spent an hour with support yesterday, but they basically just told me it was weird and couldn't have been their system that did it.I even have some that were created durin

Hi,  Is the supression of an audit trail only available on QuickBooks Desktop or can you also do this on QuickBooks Online? Also, am I right in thinking that if you supress the audit trail, the audit will still be available within the Audit History Report & this cannot be manipulated to remove any audit history?
