QuickBooks Q&A

We are a union Electrical contractor. We work for different contractors on each job. Some jobs we receive a stab amount from the union for hours worked on the job monthly.We progress bill the contractor for work completed on the job each month. We separately bill the union for the stab amount each month. Same job but 2 parts billed to separate customers.How can we track the revenue from both on the tracking reports for the job?

I get calls 2-3x a week on my cell phone and at my office from scammers claiming to be calling from Intuit.  They call from a variety of numbers, but recently the numbers are all out of California.  The message is similar though.  It's a person with a heavy middle eastern accent and it goes something like this: "Hi. This is Daniel. I'm calling from Intuit Quickbooks as we are getting a constant alert that Quickbooks is not receiving all the latest update and upgrade and it's not synchronizing with our servers which can cause data damage or corruption to your company file. To diagnose this issue, please give us a call back at 442-218-0883. Ask for my name, 'Daniel', extension 3993. Thank you." The one time I accepted the phone call because they said they were with Intuit, they wanted to remote in to my computer using logmein, which I wouldn't allow. I wanted to put the number and the message and the phone number they were leaving in the customer support com

How do I override the direct deposit cheque in payroll for a manual check

The final paycheque to an employee hasn't arrived after a few weeks (mailed).  I plan to cancel the cheques with the bank and then need to re-issue it.  I'm not sure of the best way to do this other than change the cheque number and print again.  I plan to just eTransfer the money.  Perhaps I'm best to just cancel with the bank but leave everything in QB alone and when I reconcile the eTransfer just note it was for that cheque?  

I have downloaded the new updates for payroll, but the employees' files are not showing the rate of CPP for the company or employee. It lists Company QPP YTD, Employee QPP YTD, Second Company QPP YTD, and Second Employee QPP YTD (all not active). Canada Pension Plan is checked off on the left and Alberta is chosen as the proper tax table. Should the CPP show on each employee's info?

When I try account import - the account "description" field is not an option.
