QuickBooks Q&A

When paying bills, I pay in three ways...check, credit card, and online bill payment.  I have created a custom field for my vendors where I have entered which method of payment they prefer.  I would like to be able to add this custom field to the columns shown on the Pay Bills screen.  I would also like to be able to sort by this custom field.  That way I can easily sort my vendors according to payment method and pay bills in batches.  Does anyone know if this is possible?

I see now that I shouldn't have Deleted, and should have cleared them a different way.  I tried doing a Journal Entry to correct one of these, but it didn't affect my "Opening balance" on bank.  How do I fix my error?

Quickbooks Desktop Q1 - FedEx customs/duty bill only has HST, why do people recommend entering 0.01 to Custom/Duties (expense account) then another -0.01 to Custom/Duties before entering the tax in the HST field.  Would it not be the same if 0 is entered to Custom/Duties? Q2 - And as FedEx is charging the taxes, not the supplier, should the original supplier PO still record the appropriate GST/HST rate? Thanks,Nav

I am looking for a way to upload vendor payment files to QB desktop pro. I see this might be a possibility with QB enterprise or through third party software.  Does anyone have experience with this?

This is an example email that suppose to be for a gmail account.  We don't use gmail.  "We recently attempted to withdraw the outstanding balance of $2.71 from your QuickBooks Payments account, but the transaction was unsuccessful. We have added a return fee to the total amount you owe. What to know• Outstanding balance: $2.71• Returned Item fee: $0.00• New balance: $2.71.The new balance is due immediately. If you already made a payment, you can disregard this notice. "  Now we have issues when clients send us payment direct in QB Online, the deposits aren't being deposited.  We are Canadian.  Yet the emails seem to relate to the US service.  What the heck is going on?  Can someone give me the right number to call?

Is anyone else having to verify their account connections everyday; it is is incredibly frustrating! All of my transactions are duplicating and I can only review them on the mobile app, not on the desktop browser. It is making the software borderline unusable. I am looking into alternatives.

How do I set up WCB or workers compensation for Nova Scotia

I'm using Quickbooks Online and Projects for Job Costing for my excavation business. How can I set up accounting and reporting for equipment costs that are not directly part of the Projects?For example, I have two excavators that I typically bill at $150/hr and $200/hr. That's what shows up on the estimate and invoice, but for my accounting purpose I want to track the actual hourly costs of operating those machines, which might include:Operator cost: $50/hrFuel Costs: $10/hr and $15/hrTotal machine ownership costs including maintenance & repairs: $25/hr and $70/hrBusiness overhead costs: $45/hrand Profit/Loss from each machine per hour/job: $20/hr Is there a best way to set up accounts for job costing these machines that can show me the difference between what I estimated/invoiced for against the actual cost of operating the machines? I'd like to be able to compare the estimate/invoice against actual hours on each job.
