In my app, i create invoices using the PHP SDK. Then, I add those invoices to my QuickBooks company. The issue i face is how to properly populate the 'DocNumber' field. Since those must be unique i initially thought of simply using the id of the invoice which works great.... Until you manually add invoices in QuickBooks and enter a DocNumber other than the ID. For example, if the ID is 10, but i enter 15 as the DocNumber, when i will enventually transferts an invoice from my app with the ID 15, it will fail to set the DocNumber to 15 because it would already be in use. Is there any simple way to prevent this kind of issue? Thank you

The past week, my downloaded transactions are not correctly adding the exchange rates so the amount in quickbooks is not correct.  This has always worked, when I put in the correct US amount for a transaction on my credit card, it will adjust the exchange rate and show the correct CAD amount but when I select "Add" so that it goes into my chart of accounts, it is taking the CAD amount and adding the exchange rate on top of that so the amount is way higher than it should be and it doesn't match what was paid.  I then have to go into the chart of accounts after this transaction is categorized and fix the US amount so that everything balances.  This has never been an issue but just started recently so not sure if there was an update that messed things up but could someone please look into this and get it fixed.  Thanks.

I've attached screenshots, where I entered the amount, then by the last screen showing a summary it's putting my repayment amount ($1083) in the field of amount that hasn't be repaid, and the field showing "Less 2023 repayment amount" is $0. I've highlighted them.I can't get this to work, appreciate any help!!

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I am trying to understand CRA Special EI Regulation for Barbers and Hairdresser. QuickBooks Blog provides some guidance with this calculation however I believe it is incorrect and is misguiding business owners. Given the Blog is using 2017 figures, my examples will contain the same. Link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/ca/resources/running-a-business/employing-barbers-hairdressers/What You Need to Know About Employing Barbers and Hairdressers >Self-Employed Barbers or Hairdressers >At the time of posting this discussion it is written as such:“… If you don’t have those numbers, multiply the number of days worked that week times 1/390 of the maximum annual insurable earnings. Then, multiply the total by 1/78. Let’s say a self-employed barber works five days in 2017, and that year the maximum pensionable earnings is $55,300. In this instance, your calculation looks like the following: 5 * $51,300 * 1/390 * 1/78 = $8.43. That’s the EI payme

I am trying to load my backup from Quickbooks 2014 version to the Quickbooks Pro desktop version and then I want to upload the desktop version to the Quickbooks online I just purchased. I have tried to set up the desktop trial but don't have the correct file - says I need a QBA or QBW file and I have a QBB file.  I have the file saved from our accountant on a USB stick.

Hi out there.  Wondering if anybody can help me with recording Canadian Income tax payments properly in Quickbooks online. For Tax year 2018 I filed a T2 for my company in March of 2019.  It generated an amount owing which I payed to the CRA via my company bank account in March 2019.  I now have the transaction in my bank account and I'm confused as to how to categorize it in quickbooks. Is the payment an expense?  ie: should I enter an expense transaction for that amount, categorize it as "Taxes Paid" and match the record to the bank transaction and be done with it?  (Not that I am an accountant but my sense says no). What I tried to do was set up a liability account in the chart of records called "Taxes Owed".  I then created a Bill from Vendor CRA for the tax amount and categorized it under the "Taxes Owed" category.  So far so good.  Accounts Payable shows the amount, and the "Taxes Owed" account gets incremented by the transac

I needed to share info about a great solution for problems with the sending forms.In my case, I am installing QB2020 the Desktop version on a new Windows 11 computer. I still haven't figured out how to make QB work in a French environment (PC), and it is confusing&frustrating as H*ll, BUT at least, now I can send all my forms by email. This is where you find the info: How to fix the error: "QuickBooks can't complete the current action due to a missing component: Missing pdf file component"  In my case, I had to make sure XPS services were enabled - they were not, and now, it is fixed. Thank you!
