Following up on this, Intuit fixed the link on that page so now you can find the reports. They didn’t realize that the link was broken, until I pointed it out to them (based on Georgie’s comment above). Thanks, Intuit!

Ah, that link took people to the old “Papyrus” site, which was something they were trying out to provide collaborative reporting. They’ve replaced that with the “contributed reports” feature in QuickBooks 2012 (see a reference to it here: http://www.sleeter.com/blog/2011/09/quickbooks-2012-wrapping-up-the-rest/ ). That new feature contains many more reports than the old Papyrus site.

Looks like they forgot to update that web page.

“Papyrus” is gone, it was a program in the Workplace App Center. Before Papyrus there was a static site that had reports. I’m not sure if that is around any more, probably not.

I think that in the rush to provide shared reports with their new feature they forgot that older products can’t use the new site.

I’ve asked some people about this, but I don’t know if I’ll get a good answer. The most likely answer will be that they’ll change the web site to remove the link, but we’ll see. In the meantime, I’ll update this article.

This is the link on community.intuit.com under Reports, beside “all Reports”

Generates cannot display webpage.

Many years ago, I got a template from this resource which did EXACTLY what I wanted.
Removal of that resource leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth about Intuit, at worst, at best, I’m very disappointed.

Lindsay, I don’t have Simple Start around any more so I can’t be sure. I don’t think that you can – but that depends on how old a version you have (that is no longer supported in the US market). It also might depend on the national version you are using, as non-US versions differ from the US versions.

CH Cohen: Several ways of getting this kind of stuff. I’ll give you some general direction to get you started.

One approach is to get an addon product. I like the reporting capabilitys of QQube – see the review at http://www.sleeter.com/blog/?p=480. There are other reporting tools that can work also.

Another way is to play with the “Custom Transaction Detail Report” in QuickBooks. This is one of the more customizeable reports. You can set filters, and add fields. “Pay Method” is a column you can add. You can filter for payment transaction types. You can sort by “Name”. If you play with this report you may find that you get close to what you are looking for.

Having trouble finding the very simplest reports.

Report #1: If 7 clients each pay me per month, I need a report that sinmply states date of payment, amount of payment, cash or check, or credit card, and totalling the payments at the bottom of the report.

ie:
J Jones $100 Mar3
D Smith $150 Mar 4
J Doe $200 Mar9
Total: $450

Can anyone help me with generating a report like this? Or is there a resource on the Internet that has a report like this that I can download?

Report 2:

A simple check registry showing only date of check, amount of check, payee, and total by date.
