1 Lesson 1 Getting Started Getting Around in QuickBooks Getting Around in QuickBooks The QuickBooks Learning Center provides access to information to help you get started. Manage your open windows QuickBooks displays one window at a time Using the menu bar You can find all commands on the menu bar Using the icon bar The icon bar allows you to manage your business more quickly and provides quick access to the Centers Using the left side navigation The left side navigation acts like the icon bar, allowing you quick and easy shortcuts QuickBooks Centers For Customers, Vendors, Employees, Reports and Bank Feeds give quick access to common tasks QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 8

2 Lesson 1 Getting Started Getting Around in QuickBooks Making the Home page your starting point The Home page provides a graphical representation of the workflow, organized into logical groups Getting an overview of your company The Insights tab of the home screen gives you real-time information about how your company is doing and provides a location where you can keep track of the tasks you need to perform. You can also get more detailed information from the Company Snapshot found in the reports dropdown menu. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 9

3 Lesson 1 Getting Started Using Forms Using Forms You record most of your daily business transactions on a QuickBooks form, which looks just like a paper form. Here s an example of the form you use when you want to record a bill from and one of your vendors. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 5

4 Lesson 1 Getting Started Using Lists Using Lists The list is another basic QuickBooks feature. You fill out most QuickBooks forms by selecting entries from a list. Notice in the Enter Bills window above the information in the Vendor, Terms, Account, and Customer/Job fields is pulled from lists. QuickBooks has lists where you can store information about customers, vendors, employees, items or services you sell and so on. Lists save you time and help you enter information consistently and correctly. When you re filling out an invoice form and you select a customer name from the Customer/Job list, QuickBooks not only fills in the name but also fills in the address, the payment terms and the customer s sales tax, based on the information previously entered about that customer. Here s an example of the Customers & Jobs list in the Customer Center. You can customize columns in the list by right clicking on a column header and choosing Customize Columns. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

5 Lesson 1 Getting Started Using Registers Using Registers In addition to forms and lists you ll also work with registers in QuickBooks. Just as you use your paper checkbook register to see a record of all the transactions in your checking account checks you ve written, other withdrawals you ve made from your account and deposits a QuickBooks register contains a record of all the activity in one account. Almost every QuickBooks account (on the balance sheet: assets, liabilities and equity. See the next section, All the Accounting You Need to Know) has its own register. Accounts receivable is the record of money owed to a business, that is, the outstanding invoices for which a business has not received payment from customers. Here s an example of the register for an Accounts Receivable account. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

6 Lesson 1 Getting Started All the Accounting You Need to Know All the Accounting You Need to Know About the chart of accounts: Chart of Accounts The Chart of Accounts is a complete list of your business accounts and their balances An account is a tracking category for your businesses assets, liabilities, income and expenses When you keep books for a company, you want to track Where the income comes from Where you put it What the expenses are for And what you use to pay them You track this flow of money through the Chart of Accounts QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 10

7 Lesson 1 Getting Started All the Accounting You Need to Know About assets, liabilities and equity: Assets Include both what you have and what other people owe you The money people owe you from outstanding invoices is called your Accounts Receivable or A/R for short. QuickBooks uses an Accounts Receivable account to track the money owed you from invoices and you may have additional Notes Receivable if the business has issued loans that are due for repayment. The rest of your company s assets may include checking accounts, savings accounts, petty cash, fixed assets (such as equipment or trucks), inventory and undeposited funds (money you ve received from customers but haven t yet deposited in the bank). Liabilities What your company owes to other people The money you owe for unpaid bills is your Accounts Payable or A/P for short. QuickBooks uses an Accounts Payable account to track the money you owe different people for bills. A liability can be a formal loan, an unpaid bill, or sales and payroll taxes you owe to the government. When setting up your company file in QuickBooks note even though unpaid bills are liabilities, they will be set up as Accounts Payable type accounts in QuickBooks. Equity Equity is the difference between what you have (your assets) and what you owe (your liabilities): Equity = Assets Liabilities Cash versus accrual bookkeeping: Cash basis Income is recorded when money (sales) is received and expenses when money (bills) is paid Accrual basis Income is recorded at the time of the sale and expenses when you receive the bill NOTE: When you create reports in QuickBooks you can switch between cash and accrual reports at any time, regardless of which bookkeeping method you have chosen for tax purposes. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 11

8 Lesson 1 Getting Started All the Accounting You Need to Know Measuring business profitability: The Balance Sheet a snapshot of your company on one date. It shows What your business has (assets) What people owe your business (accounts receivable) What your business owes (liabilities and accounts payable) The net worth of your business (equity) The profit and loss statement A Profit and Loss statement or Income Statement shows income, expenses and net profit or loss Statement of cash flows Shows receipts and payments during a specific accounting period General Journal transactions: Traditional accounting method Known as double-entry accounting Total amount in the Debit column equals the total amount in the Credit column Each amount is assigned to an account in the Chart of Accounts To view the journal entry for a transaction select the transaction and press Ctrl-Y or from the Reports tab in the Transaction window click on Transaction Journal Modify the report and choose to display the Credit and Debit columns QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 12

9 Lesson 1 Getting Started Exiting QuickBooks Exiting QuickBooks Unlike most other Windows programs, QuickBooks doesn t require you to save your data before exiting. It does an automatic save while you re working with QuickBooks (after every transaction is created, changed or deleted) and every time you leave the program. To exit QuickBooks, from the File menu choose Exit To prevent or minimize data loss, you should make regular backup copies of your QuickBooks company data. In the event of a data loss you can restore your data from the backup copy. To make a backup copy, from the File menu choose Back Up Company. A copy is a complete copy of your data file that is intended to be restored in the case that you re working file is compromised. It is best practice to store your backups on a different drive than your working file. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 16

10 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding Customers Adding Customers Your Customer list is the list that will display sales forms (sales orders, estimates, invoices, sales receipts) and Accounts Receivable. To add a customer: There are multiple ways to do almost anything in QuickBooks. To access the Customer Center you have four options: Click Customers from the left hand or top icon bar (depending on your view settings) Choose Customer Center from the Customers drop-down menu From the Home Screen click on the blue Customers tab in the customers section Press CTRL+J Click the New Customer & Job menu button then choose New Customer. In the Customer Name field enter the name of the customer as you'd like it to appear on your Customers & Jobs list. Press Tab in the Opening Balance field to leave this field blank. The Opening Balance field tells you how much each customer owes you on your start date so that when you enter the rest of your transactions from your start date to today, all balances since your start date will be accurate. It is generally recommend entering outstanding invoices one by one whenever possible. 5. Complete the customer contact information appropriately. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 24

11 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding Customers You can have and use more than one Ship To address per customer or job. Add them with the Ship to drop-down or by clicking the + sign in the bottom right corner. 6. Click OK to add this customer. The Customer Center appears with the Customers & Jobs list along the left side. NOTE: The Customers & Jobs list is the same list as the Customer/Job list. It is called Customers & Jobs on the Customer Center and called Customer/Job on forms. It is sometimes also referred to as simply the Customer list. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 25

12 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding a Job Adding a Job You do not need to add jobs to the Customers & Jobs list if your company never does more than one job or project per customer. Jobs in QuickBooks are optional. If you often perform multiple jobs for the same customer you can use jobs in QuickBooks to track the activity for each job separately. The Customer:Job hierarchy can be customized to meet many different needs and is commonly used in construction. This feature enables you to use the Customer as a parent to group multiple jobs under. To add a job for a customer: In the Customers & Jobs list right-click on the customer name that you would like to add a job to and choose Add Job. Name the job in the Job Name field. For Opening Balances refer to the information in Adding a Customer in the previous chapter. 5. Click OK. If you see a message about a past or future transaction click Yes to save the transaction. The job will now appear under the Customer (also referred to as parent) in the Customer list. NOTE: Notice that there are more tabs with information that you can add for Customer/Job setup. These features include payment information, sales rep and job statuses. It is important to understand your tracking and reporting goals to ensure that these features are set up and utilized properly. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 26

13 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding Vendors Adding Vendors In order to pay your bills with QuickBooks you need to add your vendors. Nearly everyone you pay, other than employees, is a vendor. Your vendor list supplies the names available on purchase forms like purchase orders, vendor credits, sales tax payments, payroll tax payments and bills. To add a vendor: Just like the Customer Center, there are multiple ways to access the Vendor Center in QuickBooks. Click on Vendors from the left side or top icon bar (depending on your preference From the Vendors dropdown click Vendor Center From the home screen click on the Vendors tab in the Vendor section Click the New Vendor button then choose New Vendor. In the Vendor Name field enter the name of the vendor as you'd like it to appear on your Vendor list. In the Opening Balance field this is treated the same as the Customer Center entries. You can enter a balance owed to the vendor as of the start date of the file, but it is best practice to enter open bills when you can. Enter the remaining vendor information appropriately. Click OK to add this vendor. The new vendor appears on the Vendor list. 7. Close the Vendor Center. NOTE: Notice that there are additional tabs in the vendor setup window. Feel free to utilize these features as they apply to your business. Pay special attention to the Tax Settings tab if you would like to run 1099 reports from QuickBooks. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 27

14 Lesson 2 Setting Up Setting Up Additional Accounts Setting Up Additional Accounts During the EasyStep Interview you added your bank accounts. There are two basic types of accounts. Balance sheet accounts, such as savings or checking Accounts used to group transactions for reporting purposes, such as income and expense accounts Income and expense accounts track the sources of your income and the purpose of each expense. When you record transactions you usually assign the amount of the transaction to one or more income or expense accounts. Accounts are the core of QuickBooks. Every posting transaction (which is a transaction that affects a report) is mapped from one account to another. For example, when you purchase paper for your office printer you are taking money from the bank account and recording it against an office supplies expense account. Your Chart of Accounts is home to all of the accounts (also referred to as categories) that show on your financial reports. To add an account: 5. From the Lists menu choose Chart of Accounts (or press CTRL+A). Click the Account menu button (at the bottom left of the window) and choose New (or press CTRL+N from the Chart Accounts window). In the Add New Account window choose the appropriate account type then click Continue. Click in the Account Name field name the account appropriately. From the Tax Line Mapping drop-down list choose the appropriate mapping according to the business structure (or leave blank if you are unsure). QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 28

15 Lesson 2 Setting Up Setting Up Additional Accounts 6. Click Save & Close. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 29

16 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding Items Adding Items Items are what we use on sales forms like Estimates, Sales Orders, Invoices and Sales Receipts. Items show the products/services that are sold and each item is mapped to one or more account in QuickBooks. Items can be mapped to one, two or three accounts in QuickBooks. One-Sided Items These are items we only use on either a sale or purchase form, but not both. For example, if you sell consulting services you may have an item named Consulting for use on your invoices. This item will be mapped to an income account for you to view on your Profit & Loss report. If this item were used on a purchase transaction it would post a negative transaction to your income account. Two-Sided Items These are items we use on both a sale and a purchase form. The setup for these items allows you to post to an income account when used on a sales form and post to an expense account when the item is used on a purchase form. Three-Sided Items Three sided items are used for inventory. The setup of these items allows you to purchase the item and receive it into your Inventory Asset account (part 1). When you sell the inventory the item posts to your Income account (part 2) and also makes a Cost of Goods Sold entry (part 3). In this section we are going to look at one-sided item entry. To add a One-Sided item: From the Lists menu choose Item List. Click the Item menu button at the bottom left of window and choose New. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 30

17 Lesson 2 Setting Up Adding Items In the New Item window choose an item type from the Type drop-down list. NOTE: When you select an item type a description of how that item should be used will appear to the right of the drop-down box Assign an item name or number in the Item Name/Number field. In the Description field enter the information that you would like to come up by default when this item is used on a form. You can assign a standard rate in the Rate field. In the Tax Code field assign a standard taxable or non-taxable code. NOTE: Items marked as Non-Taxable in the setup will not accrue sales tax on sales forms. See the Sales Tax training section for additional information In the Account field choose the appropriate account for income to post to when this item is used on sales forms. Click OK to add the new item to the Item List. Close the Item List. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 31

18 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Adding Custom Fields Adding Custom Fields QuickBooks lets you add even more custom fields to the Customers & Jobs, Vendor, Employee and Item lists. Custom fields give you a way to track additional information specific to your business. To add custom fields: 5. Click Customers in the icon bar (or navigate there with another preferred method). In the Customers & Jobs list choose any customer. Click the Edit button. Click the Additional Info tab. Click Define Fields. This opens up the Custom Fields window which corresponds to your Customer, Vendor and Employee lists. 6. Use the Label column to name your custom field. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 19

19 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Adding Custom Fields Place a check mark in the column for each name list that you would like the custom field to apply to. Click OK. If you see an informational message click OK. Click OK to close the Edit Customer window. Close the Customer Center. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 20

20 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Adding Custom Fields To add custom fields for items: From the Lists menu choose Item List In the Item list select the item you wish to edit. Right-click on the item and choose Edit Item or click the Item menu button then choose Edit Item. Click Custom Fields. Click Define Fields.

QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 21

21 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Adding Custom Fields 9. In the Custom window you can now enter information in to your custom field Click OK to close the Custom Fields window then click OK to close the Edit Item window. Close the Item list. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 22

22 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists Managing Lists Sometimes you may want to re-order the way that your accounts appear in the different sections of your financial reports. You can re-order each section of your Chart of Accounts (within its account type) by following the instructions below. To sort a list manually: From the Lists menu choose Chart of Accounts. Scroll to the account you would like to move. Click the diamond to the left of the account name. Click and hold the mouse button and drag the pointer upward until you see a dotted line directly below the account name. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 23

23 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists Release the left mouse button to drop the account in the new position To re-sort the list alphabetically click the Account menu button in the bottom left corner of the Chart of Accounts screen and select Re-sort List. Click OK. Close the Chart of Accounts. You can sort lists in QuickBooks by clicking on column headers like the Name and Balance Total. The example below uses the Customer Center, but this also applies in the Vendor Center, Item list and Chart of Accounts. To sort a list in descending order: Click Customers on the icon bar to display the Customer Center and Customers & Jobs list. Click the arrow to the right of the View drop-down list to expand the Customers & Jobs list. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 24

24 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists Click the Balance Total column heading. Click the column heading again. To return to the order you started with, click the large diamond to the left of the Name column heading. Click the collapse arrow to the right of the window to collapse the Customers & Jobs list. Close the Customer Center. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 25

25 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists In most lists you can combine two list names into one. For example, you may find that you ve been using two customers (because of different spellings) when you really need only one on your Customers & Jobs list. You can merge list items in the Chart of Accounts, Item, Customers & Jobs, Vendor, Employee and Other Names lists. This example uses the Vendor list, but the concept is the same regardless of list type. To merge items on a list: From the Vendors menu choose Vendor Center. Double-click the entry you wish to merge (this entry will be merged into the other entry) In the Vendor Name field change the name to exactly match the name of the record you wish to merge with. Click OK. You will get a warning dialogue telling you there is another record with this name and asking if you would like to merge. Click Yes. Close the Vendor Center. NOTE: You cannot merge two names from different lists such as a Vendor and Customer record or Other Names list record. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 26

26 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists To rename a list item: You can rename any list item. When you make the change QuickBooks automatically modifies all existing transactions containing the item. This example demonstrates renaming in the Chart of Accounts. To rename a list item in the Chart of Accounts: From the Lists menu choose Chart of Accounts to display the Chart of Accounts for Rock Castle Construction. In the Chart of Accounts select the account you would like to rename. Right-click on the account and click Edit Account or click the Account menu button and choose Edit Account. Make your changes in the Account Name field. Click Save & Close. Close the Chart of Accounts. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 27

27 Lesson 3 Working with Lists Managing Lists You can delete list items if you have not used them in any transactions. If you try to delete a list item that is used in a transaction QuickBooks displays a warning that the item can t be deleted. If you don t want to use a list item but you can t delete it, you can make it inactive. Here is an example from the customer center. To make a list item inactive: Navigate to the Customer Center (from icon bar, drop-down or home screen). Select the Customer/Job from the list that you wish to make inactive. Right-click the name and choose Make Customer/Job Inactive. To see inactive list items choose All Customers from the View drop-down list. 5. Close Customer Center. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 28

44 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Using Sales Forms for Payment in the Future Using Sales Forms for Payment in the Future Any time you make a sale in your business, you record it in QuickBooks on a sales form. A sales form can be an invoice (when you expect payment to come later), a sales receipt (when you receive payment at the time you make the sale), or a credit memo (when you issue a credit on your customer s account or a customer refund). The type of sales form you use (invoice or sales receipt) depends on whether you expect payment in the future or at the time of the sale. If you expect to receive payment at some future date, you enter an invoice. To display a completed invoice form in QuickBooks: Open the Customer Center from the Customers drop-down menu. Click on the name of the customer whose invoice you would like to view. From the Transactions list, double-click on the invoice to open the invoice form. Close the invoice. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

45 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Using Sales Forms for Payment at the Time of Sale Using Sales Forms for Payment at the Time of Sale If you receive full payment at the time you make a sale either by cash, check, or credit card you fill out a sales receipt instead of an invoice. Like the invoice, the QuickBooks sales receipt includes information about the items or services purchased, but it also includes information about how payment was made. To display a completed sales receipt in QuickBooks: Open the Customer Center from the Customers drop-down menu. Click on the name of the customer whose Sales Receipt you would like to view. From the Transactions list, double-click on the sales receipt to open the sales receipt form. Close the Enter Sales Receipts window. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

In the Customer:Job field, enter the name of the customer/job you wish to create an invoice for. When the Billable Time/Costs window pops up, choose to add billable time or expenses. Proceed to next exercise. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 8

47 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Filling in the Line Item Area Filling in the Line Item Area On the bottom half of the invoice, you list each service or product you re selling on its own line, along with the amount the customer owes for that item. Because information about individual items is on separate lines, the lines are called line items. But items are not just products you sell or services you provide to clients. Line items can be anything you might want to put in the detail area of an invoice, like a discount, a subtotal line, a markup, or a sales tax calculation. To complete the line item area of an invoice: In the Item field, choose the item you would like to add to the invoice. If you chose to add billable expenses from the last exercise, these items will already show in this section. Press Tab. Enter the quantity you wish to invoice for in the Quantity column. Press Tab to have QuickBooks update the invoice total. If you set this item up with a default rate, it will automatically show on the line. Proceed to next exercise. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 9

48 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Completing the Sales Form Completing the Sales Form To complete and record the invoice: Click the Print Preview button near the top of the screen. Click Zoom In and use the scroll bars to see the invoice items at greater magnification. Click Close. In the Create Invoices window, record the sale by clicking Save & Close. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 10

49 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Generating Reminder Statements Generating Reminder Statements Reminder statements summarize a customer's account by listing recent invoices, credit memos, and payments received. You can use reminder statements when you bill through invoices but want to remind your customers about delinquent payments. Reminder statements are different from other forms in QuickBooks such as invoices, sales receipts, or checks in that they are not transactions. Furthermore, because QuickBooks already has all the information you need to create reminder statements, you don't have to fill them out. Instead, you review the information that will appear on each statement, decide whether to add finance charges, and print them. To generate reminder statements: Click Home to display the Home page, then click Statements. For Statement Date, enter the date you want to appear on the statement. In the Enter Statement Date and Type section of the window, set the parameters for the type of statements you would like to generate. Set your statement period in the Statement Period From/To fields, or select All open transactions as of statement date. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 24

50 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Generating Reminder Statements In the Select Customers section, choose how you would like to create the statements. Select additional options as they apply. 7. Click Assess Finance Charges if you would like to add finance charges to the statements. Enter an assessment date if applicable. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 25

51 Lesson 6 Entering Sales Information Generating Reminder Statements Click Assess Charges. Click Preview. Click Close. Close the Create Statements window. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 26

52 Lesson 7 Receiving Payments & Making Deposits Recording Payment in Full for a Single Job Recording Payment in Full for a Single Job If you re receiving payment at the time of a sale and you fill out a sales receipt, QuickBooks records a customer payment. When you invoice a customer and you receive payment later, you enter the payment in the QuickBooks Receive Payments window. To record a payment in full: From the Customers menu, choose Receive Payments. If the QuickBooks Payment Interview window displays, close it. In the Received From field, select the customer:job that you are receiving payment from Press Tab to move to the Amount field. In the Amount field, type in the amount of the payment. Select the payment method from the payment icons then press Tab. Enter the reference number for the payment, if applicable.

71 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Creating QuickReports Creating QuickReports One of the fastest ways to see a report on your QuickBooks data is to create a QuickReport. QuickReports are predesigned reports that give you information about the list name you re currently viewing on screen. Whenever you have a list, a register, or a form displayed, you can click a button to have QuickBooks create a QuickReport. To see what you owe a vendor: Click Vendor Center on the icon bar. Right-click on the vendor name you wish to run a report for and select QuickReport or click on the QuickReport hyperlink in the vendor information section. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

72 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Creating QuickReports QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

73 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Zooming in on a QuickReport Zooming in on a QuickReport All QuickReports contain a summary of individual transactions. To help you better understand the information presented in reports, QuickBooks lets you trace report data to the individual transaction level using QuickZoom. When you position the mouse pointer over a number in a report and see the QuickZoom symbol (a magnifying glass with a Z in it), you can double-click the number to display the original transaction in QuickBooks. To see more detail about a transaction: From any financial report, hold your cursor over the dollar amount/transaction you wish to view in more detail. When your cursor turns into the QuickZoom icon, double-click your mouse to zoom in. This will open the transaction. Press Esc to close the window. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 8

74 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Using QuickZoom in a Preset Report Using QuickZoom in a Preset Report To QuickZoom on a report item: Position the mouse pointer over the dollar amount you wish to view in detail. Double-click the amount to zoom. What you see when you QuickZoom in a report depends on the type of report displayed: If the report shows summary figures (like the sales by customer summary report we just displayed) and you QuickZoom an amount, QuickBooks displays a transaction report that includes the transactions which contribute to that amount If the report shows transactions and you QuickZoom a transaction, QuickBooks displays the invoice, bill or other form for the requested transaction QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 18

75 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Customizing QuickReports Customizing QuickReports Each QuickReport window has a button bar at the top of the report for customizing report content and layout.

77 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Customizing QuickReports To change information in the report heading: In the report window, click Customize Report then click the Header/Footer tab. On the Header/Footer tab, you can change the company name, report title, subtitle, and date and time prepared. You can also specify whether to print the header on all pages or just the first page. The Header/Footer tab is the same for all QuickBooks reports. Highlight the text in the Report Title field and replace it with the title you would like to give your report. Click OK to close the Modify Report window. Close the report. NOTE: To save this report for future use, click the Memorize button on the report tool bar before closing the report. This allows you to save the custom settings and run the report at a later date from the Reports drop-down menu. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 11

78 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Filtering Reports Filtering Reports You can customize preset reports the same way you customize QuickReports. In this exercise you ll customize the balance sheet comparison report and filter it to include only the transactions you specify. Report filters let you set custom criteria for the transactions you want included in a report. When you filter a report, QuickBooks includes only those transactions that match the rules you create. To filter a preset report: With the balance sheet comparison report displayed, click Customize Report on the Report button bar. Click the Filters tab. 5. In the Filter scroll box, choose the filters you wish to assign parameters for and set your specifications. To remove or modify a filter, highlight it in the Current Filter Choices section and either modify the filter or click Remove Selected Filter. Click OK. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 16

79 Lesson 9 Analyzing Financial Data Printing Reports Printing Reports To print a report: With the report open, click the Print button from the tool bar.

82 Lesson 10 Setting Up Inventory Turning on the Inventory Feature Turning on the Inventory Feature If you need to track inventory for your company, you can turn the feature on while completing the EasyStep Interview.

Select Items & Inventory from the menu on the left-hand side. Click the Company Preferences tab. Click the Inventory and purchase orders are active checkbox to select it. Click OK. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 5

83 Lesson 10 Setting Up Inventory Entering Products into Inventory Entering Products into Inventory Many small businesses that stock inventory don t know the number of units they have on hand or on order at any given time and have no way of getting that information quickly. Using QuickBooks to manage your inventory, you ll be able to track the number of items in stock and the value of your inventory after every purchase and sale. As you order inventory items, receive the items, and later sell the items from inventory, QuickBooks tracks each inventory-related transaction. You will know the status of your inventory and will have a more accurate picture of your business s assets. To enter a product into inventory: From the Vendors drop-down, choose Item List (or from the List drop-down, choose Item List). Click the Item menu button at the bottom left then choose New In the Type field, choose Inventory Part from the drop-down list. Enter the item name in the Item Name/Number field. In the Description on Purchase Transactions field, enter the description you would like to appear on purchase orders, bills, and checks. In the Cost field, enter your cost for the item. Enter the appropriate Cost of Goods Sold account in the COGS Account field. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

84 Lesson 10 Setting Up Inventory Entering Products into Inventory In the Preferred Vendor field, choose a preferred vendor, if applicable. In the Sales Price field, enter the price you would like to appear on sales orders, sales receipts, estimates, and invoices. Assign a tax code, taxable or non-taxable. In the Income Account field, assign the appropriate income account for when the item is sold. Enter the appropriate asset account in the Asset Account field. In the Reorder Point field, enter the point at which you would like QuickBooks to remind you to reorder the item Click OK to close the New Item window. Close the Item list. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

85 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Overview of Sales Tax in QuickBooks Overview of Sales Tax in QuickBooks To use QuickBooks to track and pay your sales tax: 5. Set up your tax rates and agencies Indicate who and what gets taxed Apply tax to each sale Find out what you owe Pay your tax agencies QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 5

86 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Setting Up your Tax Rates and Agencies Setting Up your Tax Rates and Agencies Some businesses need to apply more than one sales tax to their sales; for example, they may collect state sales tax as well as several county sales taxes. You need to create a separate sales tax item for each tax amount you must report (not necessarily for each tax you collect some states want you to report state sales tax and county sales tax as separate items, while others let you report them as one item). Even if you re paying more than one type of tax, you usually want your customers to see one overall tax amount, not separate taxes for the state and county. You ll learn how to do that in this lesson. To add a sales tax item: From the Lists menu, choose Item List. Click the Item menu button then choose New. In the Type field, choose Sales Tax Item. In the Sales Tax Name field, type the appropriate name for the tax (e.g., Seattle City Tax, King County Tax, Washington State Tax, etc.) In the Description field, enter an appropriate description for the tax. In the Tax Rate (%) field, enter the sales tax rate as a percentage. In the Tax Agency field, type the name of the department you issue payments to. 8. Click OK : QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

87 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Grouping Single Taxes Together Grouping Single Taxes Together Even if you collect a combination of sales taxes (for example, city tax and county tax) which you report separately, you probably don t want to confuse customers by showing separate taxes on your invoices or sales forms. QuickBooks lets you group some or all of your tax items so customers see a single tax amount. Instead of a sales tax item you ll be creating a sales tax group. To create a sales tax group: 5. With the Item List displayed, click the Item menu button then choose New. In the Type field, choose Sales Tax Group. In the Group Name/Number field, enter an appropriate name for the group. In the Description field, enter an appropriate description for the group. Click in the Tax Item column then choose the taxes you wish to group together. 6. Click OK. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

88 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Identifying Your Most Common Tax Identifying Your Most Common Tax If you want QuickBooks to apply sales tax to your invoices and sales receipts, you have to tell it which sales tax item or group is the one you use most often. Once you do that, QuickBooks applies that sales tax when you fill out an invoice or a sales receipt. (You can choose a different sales tax from the sales form if you don t want the default tax.) To set up a default sales tax: From the Edit menu, choose Preferences. In the Preferences window, click the Sales Tax icon in the left panel then click the Company Preferences tab. In the Most common sales tax field, choose the sales tax rate you want to be the default. Click OK. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 8

89 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Indicating Who and What Gets Taxed Indicating Who and What Gets Taxed The next step in setting up sales tax is to indicate who and what gets taxed. You have to tell QuickBooks whether or not a customer is taxable and assign a default tax item or tax group to that customer. You must also distinguish between taxable and non-taxable items on the Item list. When you add an item to the Item list, there s a place in the window to indicate whether you charge tax for the item. QuickBooks remembers this information and shows whether or not an item is taxable when you enter the item on a sales form. To indicate a taxable item: In the Item list, right-click the item you wish to check taxable status on then click Edit Item. Click the Item menu button then choose Edit Item. The code in the Tax Code field is a taxable code which tells you this item is taxable. When you choose the item to be included on a sales form, QuickBooks knows the item is taxable and automatically applies the default sales tax. Click OK to close the Edit Item window. Close the Item list. NOTE: Customer taxability will override item taxability. For example, if you have taxable items on an invoice to a customer marked as a non-taxable customer, sale tax will not be calculated on the invoice. See next section re: taxable/non-taxable customers. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 9

90 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Indicating Who and What Gets Taxed In the same way that you can specify an item in the Item list is taxable, you can indicate whether or not a particular customer is taxable or non-taxable in that customer s record. To see an existing customer record: Click Customers on the icon bar. Right-click on the name of the customer you wish to view then click Edit Customer. Click the Sales Tax Settings tab. In the image below, the tax code selected indicates transactions with this customer are subject to sales tax. The default tax rate will be assigned automatically; however, you can manually set the sales tax item to be assigned to this customer. To change the sales tax item, use the Tax Item drop-down and assign the proper rate Click OK. Close the Customer Center. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 10

91 Lesson 11 Tracking and Paying Sales Tax Determining What You Owe If you d like to see where your sales tax revenue is coming from, you can run the Sales Tax Revenue Summary report, which shows you the sources of all taxable and non-taxable sales transactions broken down by individual sales tax codes. This report is especially helpful if you are using sales tax groups. To run the Sales Tax Revenue Summary report: Click on the Manage Sales Tax icon from the home screen then click on the Sales Tax Revenue Summary hyperlink (or from the Reports menu, choose Vendors & Payables then choose Sales Tax Revenue Summary). Close the report. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 13

92 Lesson 15 Customizing Forms and Writing QuickBooks Letters Creating New Templates Creating New Templates QuickBooks lets you customize an invoice form to suit the needs of your business, but there may be times when you want to design a completely different invoice form. QuickBooks lets you do that too. You can use the Layout Designer to create a new form design for your business. In the Layout Designer you can move, resize, or change the width of columns, turn on or off borders around fields, and control font type and size for each field. To create a new invoice template: From the Lists menu, choose Templates Click the Templates menu button then choose New. Choose the type of form template you want to create. Click the Manage Templates button to give the template a name then click OK. Use the features in the Basic Customization window to customize the general look of your form. Click OK to close the Basic Customization window. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 5

93 Lesson 15 Customizing Forms and Writing QuickBooks Letters Customizing Fields on Forms Customizing Fields on Forms To customize fields on a template: Click the Additional Customization button at the bottom of the window. 5. To have the Due Date field display both onscreen and on the printed form, click the Screen checkbox for Due Date to select it. Click the Print checkbox for Due Date. Clear the Screen and Print checkboxes for the P.O. No. field to remove the field from the form. Continue customizing your form fields as needed for your business. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 6

94 Lesson 15 Customizing Forms and Writing QuickBooks Letters Changing Field Order on Forms Changing Field Order on Forms The lower half of the standard QuickBooks invoice form is where you enter details about the items or services purchased by the customer. You can change the order of these fields as they appear on your invoices. The Order column shows you how fields display from left to right on the invoice form. Currently Item is the first column and Amount is the last column. Suppose you want the Qty field to appear after the Item field and before the Description field. To change the order of fields on a form: Click the Columns tab. Double-click the Order column to select it. Manually enter the number that represents the order you want the column to be displayed on your form Continue working through the tabs to customize your form. Click OK to record the changes. Click OK again then close the Templates window. QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 7

95 Lesson 15 Customizing Forms and Writing QuickBooks Letters Displaying your Customized Form Displaying your Customized Form This walkthrough shows you how to view a template using the Invoice form. If you have other custom forms, you can access them by opening the form window in QuickBooks then choosing your template from the Template dropdown.

97 Lesson 15 Customizing Forms and Writing QuickBooks Letters Designing Custom Layouts for Forms Designing Custom Layouts for Forms Here are a few examples of what you can do with a custom layout: Give your company name, address, and logo special treatment on the form For example, you could center your logo at the top of the form and put your company name and address in a special font immediately below the logo. Enlarge a custom field so it can display more information Position the customer s billing address so it coincides with the address window in the envelopes you use Change the borders on fields, add background colors, and add extra text fields Add multiple graphics to a form QuickBooks 2015 Student Guide 10
