Comment on Custom Fields in QuickBooks Enterprise 10 by Rakesh Agrawal

FMT:…and even then from what I’m learning it’s limited to 30 characters (the “any text” field type on custom fields is limited to 30 characters). So you’d get a small boost in length but not a big one.

Comment on QuickBooks Manufacturing Tutorial by Jewelry Builder

Great Website! Thank you ahead of time. I need to up-grade from Pro, but feel like Enterprise is over kill. Can you compare Premier to Enterprise. We are doing basic manufacturing of 2 to 10 components that we are putting together to build a finished item that then needs to show up in inventory. 1) I need to be able to track COGS to make sure that we are charging enough over time. 2) I want to be able to build a PO and have a parts list generated so that I can order the components that I need. Thanks.

All the receipt numbers are gone from the field on the sales receipt. How can I get them back?

Comment on QuickBooks 2010 Rapid Data Entry by Elizabeth

I really like the multiple list editing feature, I do wish however, I could copy and Paste TO Excel as well as FROM Excel. The scrolling in the list is slow while in the edit mode, and I would also like to be able to use the data in the custom fields sorted by filter to create reports. Perhaps there is a way to export this that I have not yet figured out?

The “change account color” feature works with the check window, but not the invoice window. I don’t know of a way to do what you are asking. The best I can suggest is to change the “Default Title” field in Additional Customization to say “Service Call” instead of “Invoice”. If you dont’ want that to show on the printed form then uncheck the “print” column and use the Layout Designer to add a text box that says “Invoice” for the printed form.

Any way to change the color scheme of the forms for on-screen viewing, not printing? For example, I have a client with 5 different Sales Order templates depending on the nature of the work that is being done. There old manual system was a Blue card meant Service Call, a Green card was a New Install, etc. We have mirrored these work order cards as separate Sales Order templates. Is there a way to make the background of the sales order (or any other form) input screen different colors? I had a client whose “Write Checks” window showed the check in a bright purple color on the screen.

Comment on Managing Service Truck Inventory in QuickBooks by Shannon V Waldron, CPA

I have a client using Intuit Field Service and this was one issue we could not resolve without an Excel spreadsheet to track each truck. I have another client in the jewelry business needs a way to track the product carried in “suitcases” by each of their 200 sales reps. I think this may also work for them. Thank you, thank you!!!

Comment on Paying a Bill Before Receiving Inventory in QuickBooks by Charlie

Marge, I have never heard of Zipingo in QuickBooks – that was something in Quicken. And Intuit shut down Zipingo back in 2007. What QB product and year of product are you using?
