Before starting posting of transactions to quick


book, company must create several important
accounts named;

A complete list of a company's accounts and their balances. Use it to


track how much money your company has, how much money it owes,
how much money is coming in, and how much is going out. When you
created your QuickBooks company file, QuickBooks set up a chart of
accounts for the company.
The accounts that appear on the balance sheet are called "balance sheet
accounts." Other accounts track particular kinds of expenses or income.

Use the Add/Edit Multiple List Entries window to add and edit multiple
inventory items and non-inventory items. You can also copy and paste
list information from Excel directly into QuickBooks using this
window.

We use this option to calculate the sales price of items that have both
a cost and a sales price.
You'll see the effect of the default markup percentage when you
create inventory part, inventory assembly, non-inventory part,
service, and other charge items. When you enter the item's cost,
QuickBooks calculates the sales price and enters it in the Sales Price
field.
For example, entering a cost of 10.00 when the markup is 25%
causes QuickBooks to fill in the sales price as 12.50. If you don't
want to use the default markup for an item, change the sales price
that QuickBooks fills in.

You must you sales receipt, when your customers pay in full at the time they
receive your service or product, then you don't have to track how much they
owe you. However, you might want to track each sale, calculate its sales tax, or
print a receipt for the sale. In that case, use a sales receipt.
You can also use a sales receipt to create a summary of sales income and sales
tax owed. You can summarize daily or weekly sales on a sales receipt.
If customers pay in advance, either in part or in full, you should not use a sales
receipt.
A cash sale, and using a sales receipt, requires full payment at the time you
record the sale.

You can change item prices one at a time or several at once, and you can
adjust prices by a fixed amount or by a percentage.

When you build an assembly a build transaction occurs. Each


component used in the assembly (inventory part or an assembly
item nested within the assembly) is removed from quantity on
hand and the newly built assembly item is added to quantity on
hand.

By using current availability option, you can quickly determine the


available quantity of inventory part items and inventory assembly
items.

When you buy inventory items, you need to record them in QuickBooks
to keep your inventory quantities accurate.

defined, including the set name, the base unit, and the default purchasing,

The Price Level list stores all the price levels you've created. The name

Price levels let you set custom pricing for different customers or jobs.
Once you create a price level and associate it with one or more customers
or jobs, each time you create an invoice, estimate, sales receipt, sales
order or credit memo for those customers or jobs, QuickBooks
automatically pulls up the correct custom price for a customer or job.
You create price levels, then use them on sales forms to adjust the price
of an item. You can also manually adjust the prices while creating a sales
form.

need to create a separate invoice for each customer. Instead, you can

send method for each customer.
In addition, batch invoicing has a some limitations. Batch invoicing isn't
available if your company file tracks multiple currencies. Also, when you
create batch invoices, QuickBooks doesn't check the customer's credit
limit or let you use price levels.

or delete it.
Voiding a check only changes the amount to zero, but keeps the empty
transaction in QuickBooks (other information is unchanged, for example
