Recently Asked: Is there a way to export all customers from QuickBooks to an Excel file?

Assuming you only need to export non-transaction information, the easiest way to export the customer information is to go to the Customer Center, and on the tool bar above the Customer/Jobs and Transactions tab, select the Excel icon and choose Export Customer List.

 You can also go to the report menu and select List and open the Customer Contact List.

Select the columns you want to export (under the Modify Report button in the top left corner of the report). Once that is complete, click the Export button at the top and select Excel.

If you are exporting the list to make some edits and then plan on importing it back into QuickBooks, contact me and I’ll walk you through that process.

Recently Asked: How do I transfer funds from the business line of credit to the business owner?

I’ll break your question down to two main steps: transferring the funds from your business line of credit to a company checking account and then disbursing the funds to the owner.

Step 1: Transfer funds from business line of credit to checking account

Go to the bank menu and select Transfer Funds.

  1. Select the Date of the transfer.
  2. From the Transfer Funds From drop down select Line of Credit.
  3. From the Transfer Funds To drop down select Company Checking account.
  4. Select which Class from the drop down (if applicable).
  5. On the Transfer Amount $ line, type the amount of the funds to transfer.
  6. In the Memo field, type a description of the transaction (optional).
  7. Click Save & Close.

This procedure transfer the funds out of the line of credit and places the funds into the checking account.  Please note, these steps only transfers the funds within QuickBooks.  To physically move the funds out of the line of credit into the checking account contact your bank for directions.

Step 2:  Disbursing the funds to the owner

Go to the bank menu and select Write Checks.

  1. From the Bank Account drop down, select the checking account you used in Step 1 above.
  2. Select the Date you are issuing the check.
  3. From the Pay to the Order of drop down, select the owner.
  4. On the amount line, type the amount of the funds you are disbursing to the owner.
  5. In the Memo field, type a description of the transaction (optional).
  6. Make sure the Expense tab is selected.
  7. From the Account column drop down, select either an owner receivable or an owner draw. (How your company is legally setup under IRS guidelines determines if the account is an owner receivable or an owner draw. If you need help determining this, contact your accountant or EHTC for assistance.)
  8. The Amount field should auto fill; if it doesn’t, type in the amount of the check.
  9. In the Memo field, type a description of the transaction (optional).
  10. Select which Job and Class from the drop downs (if applicable).
  11. Click Save & Close.
  12. Print the check.

Recently Asked: How do I print a check to a vendor when the name cuts off on the check?

QuickBooks limits the characters on a check to 41. If you are able to, I would abbreviate any portion of the name, making sure the abbreviation is well known and generally accepted. For example, if you are issuing a check to ABC Incorporated, abbreviate it to ABC Inc.

If you aren't able to use abbreviations, then I suggest the following work around for the character limitation:

Step 1:  If you have a typewriter available, type the check.  If you don't have access to a typewriter, then you'll need to hand write it.

Step 2:   Using the check (or enter bill) feature, abbreviate the name in a manner that is understandable to you. Then process the transaction as normal, up to the step of printing the check. Rather than printing the check to your check stock, print it to paper. This way, you are able to record the transaction in QuickBooks.

Recently Asked: When I set the closing date in QuickBooks am I still able to view reports prior to the closing date?

Yes, you are still able to view reports and transactions up to the closing date. The purpose of the closing date is to prevent users from editing, voiding, or deleting transactions in periods prior to the closing date. Remember you will need to set a password for the closing date and only give the password to users you give permission to edit transactions. If you elect not to use a password and only set the closing date, users will get a warning box like this:

If the users clicks yes, the modifications will go into effect.

 

If you would like more information about how to set up the closing date read my blog article on Lack of Control to Prevent Users from Posting Transactions to Prior Periods in the Misconceptions About QuickBooks Debunked series.
