Quick Books - Customer Journals

[KimH]

I am hoping someone here can assist.

I personally have never worked with QB (Pastel fan all the way) - one of my clients uses QB and needs to process customer journals (writing off bad debts/discounts, etc) - I had a look and found the section for general journals but nothing that remotely resembles a customer journal.

Could any of you QB fundi's point me in the right direction please.

You do a general journal. The trick is to add the client account in the Name column for the Accounts receivable credit entry line.

Thanks Dave.

Be careful - work too much with QB and you might get converted

lol!! doubt it - the ease of which one can randomly change entries makes the accountant in me sceptical.

the ease of which one can randomly change entries makes the accountant in me sceptical.

Two tips on that:

• Audit trail (think of it as a honey trap)
• Closing date - the ability to lock down all entries prior to a certain date.

ps - my auditors used to feel the same way. They have been converted.

The concerns really arise from not being aware of all the features of the product.

I had a browse through QB at my clients office earlier - definitely has some interesting additional features, but to convert from Pastel would be the same as quitting smoking for me

Dave,

Are you running a multi user version and which package ?

[Dave A]

I'm using Quickbooks Pro Multi-user 2003.

Can you recall offhand the multi user license cost ?
