QuickBooks Q&A

I run a manufacturing company that buys raw materials and produces finished goods for sale.  Each order/sale is done by a job number.  How do I account for internal jobs/orders?  For example, I bought and used raw materials to manufacture a desk that is being used by my company and is being depreciated as a fixed asset as it's furniture.  Is there a better way to account for the desk other than making a manual inventory adjustment and general journal entries?  I cannot make a job order as that's under customers as I cannot sell to myself.  I cannot touch the P&L.  I can only impact the BS by reducing inventory and increasing fixed assets.  Additionally, I need to account for labor costs (manufacturing the desk), installation costs, etc. which needs additional journal entries to properly value the desk in fixed assets.  I'm hoping there is a way to create a job in Quickbooks that will let me track all the job costs related to producing th

Hello!Our company has recently switched from Quickbooks Desktop to Quickbooks Online. We had items in our inventory that were assemblies. I know that Quickbooks Online does not currently offer the assembly option.

Say that the bill is $14 and they pay $15 and say "keep the change for next visit. How do I record that the $1 stays as a credit?

Starting today, March 1, 2024, the beginning quantity on hand is not appearing on my Inventory Valuation Detail report.  Yet all debits and credits on the report are correct and my quantity on hand on the Inventory Summary Report are correct.  Knowing my running balance of inventory is crucial.

Hi everyone, I did Microsoft BackUp on my laptop and somehow lost the company file (.qbw), but still have the latest automatic backup (.qbb). When the QB asks where to save the restored compny file + after I chose the location, it starts all over from the 1st step at the opening window menue withthe list of companies. I cannot find my old .qbw file anywhere. Any advise? 

I do not find this useful and it only takes up space for me. Is there a way for me to make it not show?

Sometimes, when entering an invoice, the suggested transactions option pops up and sometimes it does not.  I've spent hours speaking with agents to ask how to open this when it does not pop up automatically, only to go through the exact same trouble shooting techniques (yes time is marked billable, yes the settings are correct) and they cannot figure it out either.  I've read the suggestions here to open an invoice, go to Manage and choose the suggestions dropdown option.  There is no suggestions dropdown option.  Only customization, payment options, design & scheduling.  I've been through every one of these multiple times. When it's happened before it usually resets either overnight or after multiple nights. I've cleared my cache/history/cookies, logged out and back, restarted my computer, watched the videos and have taken myself on a grand tour looking for anything that might help.  PLEASE HELP!!!

How do I connect with a real person to discuss a QBOL billing error?

Quickbooks figures my unemployment liability but I pay it online when I actually file. However, when I pay it online, I sometimes forget to write a check on plain paper to log it into Quickbooks so it shows "Overdue" in the payroll screen. How do I get rid of that? And also, just this quarter, it is showing an incorrect amount due as my rate changed. I changed it on the "file forms" screen but it still shows the incorrect amount. How do I adjust that as well?

I have a client with a small cafe. He uses Quickbooks payroll and Quickbooks Online. Tips are collected at the point of sale and distributed to the employees every payroll period as a pay type in Payroll. But the way the tips pay type is set up, both the employer and employee are paying payroll taxes on the tips. Tips are not taxable income anymore. Is there a way to exclude tips from taxes in QuickBooks Payroll?

I am simply looking for the step by step process to remove some of these Icons on my desktop view that I don't use - The Full View of Purchase Orders and Receive Inventory and Enter Bills Against Inventory - these are just to name a few!  Any suggestions on how to?

Up until 10/16/25 invoices sent included customer name and billing address. Now when I complete an invoice it no longer includes customer name, only billing address on invoice preview.
