Rules of Engagement: short questions during presentation Tweet answers
Direct-connect interfaces Typical Source: Online banking or credit card interface In QuickBooks, go to Banking > Online Banking Center
Once you “Receive Transactions”, you will bring up a “matching” window where you can select individual or groups of transactions, and post them to your QuickBooks register.
Note that the matching process in the Online Banking Center has improved significantly in 2010, and is much more user friendly. The possibility of duplicate transactions in your
bank account register has been virtually eliminated!
Why do it? Reduce data export/import to a range of dates
Intuit recommends that no company file exceed 100mb
Eliminate obsolete names (customers, vendors…) Clean up and restructure inventory Restructure and consolidate chart of accounts Merge multiple company files into one co. file Transfer work from remote offices to home office Receive journal entries from accountants
The dilemma: Payroll Checks cannot be transferred from one company file to another!
The Check Transfer Utility allows you to transfer Payroll Checks, Payroll Liability Checks and Sales Tax Liability Checks from one QuickBooks file to another QuickBooks file.◦ Note that the checks are imported as regular checks and will not
appear on payroll specific reports such as 941's and W-2's. Imported checks will contain all of the lines of data from the
original checks and will affect the same accounts, jobs and classes as the original checks, but will not be Payroll checks.
This program is for use by users who:◦ a. Prepare payrolls in one QuickBooks company file but need the data
added to another file for bank reconciliation or other purposes.◦ b. Need to transfer historical data as part of the process of starting a
new QuickBooks file or when converting from Enterprise to Pro or Premier.
Irvin Report Combiner – Produce financials for multiple companies
The Irvin Report Combiner extracts data from 1 to 999 QuickBooks company files. It creates combining P&Ls and Balance Sheets based upon identical chart of account names. In addition, the Combiner can transfer the companies’ data to a new or existing QuickBooks "Consolidated" company file where the data from each company is identified by a separate class.
Objectives “Mine” the QuickBooks database Perform “What-if” scenarios “Join” data from multiple files Extract results to spreadsheets or other databases
Database types – The old and the new Flat files (i.e. Files with records) Hierarchical (i.e., IBM’s IMS) Relational (i.e., MS Access, MS SQL Server, IBM DB2)
QuickBooks has been relational since 2007 File = Table, Record = Row, Field = Column
ODBC is a Microsoft spec that allows users to share information in a relational database across multiple and diverse platforms.
Examples: Microsoft SQL Server, MS Access, QuickBooks, Crystal Reports, MS Visual Basic, DB2 for PCs
The application must be ODBC-compliant QODBC is included with QuickBooks Enterprise (read-only) It is available (at a price) from www.flexquarters.com This facility allows you to “mine” the QuickBooks database
while “joining” multiple “Tables” based upon selection criteria Results of any selection may be exported to Excel or Access Interactive sync between QuickBooks and other SQL databases
