Non-Inventory Items & Lot Numbers in QB Enterprise

Submitted by Will on May 14, 2014

Q & A with Will English
As a global company offering affordable access to high-quality reproductive health products for women and girls, our client has many facets to their business. They use the QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions V2014 financial software to manage the business accounting. They recently wanted to issue a sales order to a customer for a non-inventory item but they couldn’t assign a lot number to it. They immediately reached out to Will for the solution.

Client: We have created the non-inventory item for one of our items but it will not allow her to assign a lot number to it.  Is there a way to add this?  Also, since this is a non-inventory item we need to also figure out how to issue a sales order to the customer for this product.  As there is no inventory to assign to the sales order, how do we do this?

Will: By default, non-inventory items can’t have lots.  I think you guys are thinking of it as non-inventory since you don’t receive it physically, but that is not how QuickBooks looks at it. If you use an inventory type item, it should solve the problem.

Client: Any suggestion going forward? As it stands now, entering the part as a non-inventory part, I cannot receive it in to issue an invoice to the customer.

Will: Why can’t we enter the item as inventory?  I know that you will never receive it but it is still a form of inventory, just not yours.

Client: I will have to receive the part. I need to receive it in so that I can issue an invoice to the customer.

Will: I meant physically. The problem is I can’t assign lot numbers to non-inventory parts, therefore, let’s make it inventory.

Client: Understood. This will have to be Accounting’s call.  The inventory should not sit in inventory for a long period of time. Maybe we can assign a different asset account to explain to the auditors.

IRS Tax Changes Notification for QB Customers

Submitted by Will on December 05, 2013

On Wed. of this week, QuickBooks customers who are on unsupported versions of the software received a critical notice from Intuit regarding a 1099 printing issue. They notified customers on QuickBooks Pro/Premier/Mac/ES 2007-2010 that there is a 1099 printing issue due to an IRS change; customers need to upgrade to QB 2014 if they want to continue to print 1099s and will get a 20% discount off the upgrade.

Here is an update regarding the critical notice that began going out to QuickBooks customers on Wednesday.  The communication prompted a few customer questions and we wanted to clarify the following information:   
• The IRS changes to the Tax Year 2013 1099-MISC tax form did not include adding any boxes.
• However, the IRS changes did include changing the format, size and/or position of a number of boxes.
• It is this reformatting of the boxes by the IRS that will cause the alignment issues when customers on unsupported versions of QuickBooks print their 1099-MISC forms.
• ONLY customers on QuickBooks 2010 or prior are impacted by these IRS changes and need to consider upgrading or handwriting the forms.
• Customers on QuickBooks 2011-2014 are NOT impacted by these IRS changes. They will be able to print their 1099s correctly from QuickBooks.

As previously mentioned, impacted customers have two options:
• OPTION 1: Complete the 1099-MISC forms by hand and submit them to the IRS. The IRS will accept handwritten forms. Customers can go to http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099gi.pdf, section G for IRS guidelines and details on filing by hand.

• OPTION 2: Upgrade to QuickBooks 2014. Upgrading to QuickBooks 2014 will help save customers time by allowing them to print 1099s directly from QuickBooks, with no alignment issues. Their QuickBooks data will print directly from QuickBooks 2014 onto the correct section of their 1099 forms.
For customers choosing to upgrade to QuickBooks 2014, we are offering 20% off Pro, Premier, and Mac 2014, as well as 20% off QBES 14.0 (5/10/30 users licenses only).

Contact us at English Management Solutions, Inc. today for pricing and more information on the latest version of QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, V2014.

QuickBooks & Support Services - Measuring Success

Submitted by Will on November 12, 2013

With numerous small businesses already in operation and so many more opening each day, it is a joy to speak with business owners to learn what inspires them and how they got their start. Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with a new client who is opening a tea and cake restaurant/tea room where patrons can enjoy delicious food and treats while sipping on a selection of fine teas. With an appreciation for the British traditions, she has listened to her community to implement a strategic business approach. She will offer the high tea and afternoon tea, keeping some of the formality but in a less formal environment. The setting will be more relaxed and casual with indoor seating and outdoor garden seating. In the mornings, grab-and-go items such as coffee and baked goods will be available. She is implementing the QuickBooks Point of Sale (QBPOS) system and we will provide our support services.

As our business continues to grow, we receive great satisfaction from providing real solutions to our clients; not simply selling a product, and by ensuring that we have built a reputable rapport.

It’s always encouraging to receive positive feedback that we are in fact providing the type of service that we strive for and it makes an impressionable difference to our clients. It’s important for us to measure satisfaction, so we have been sending surveys regarding our services and customer support. We have embraced these as a tool to measure the level of satisfaction our clients experience with our company. We appreciate the responses we’ve received thus far. We’d like to share a few here.

From a new QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions client:
“Their sales rep (Anita) was incredibly understanding and patient with our Company transition. They set up an appointment to test drive QuickBooks with William who was informative and was very willing to tailor QuickBooks and the add-ons to exactly what we needed as a distributor. Furthermore, they were able to help me save $$ in our budget and provided us with a server for a more than reasonable price. I would FULLY recommend English Management Systems to any business in Southern California that needs a POS System or QBES!!!”

From a long time customer who has both the QuickBooks Point of Sale and Enterprise Solutions product:
“English Management has provided excellent support for our QuickBooks software applications. We use both the Enterprise version of the accounting software and the Point of Sale system that integrates to it. William English has been very helpful and provided quick response when we had problems and he has given us excellent advice on adapting the systems to our needs.”

This response is from a business owner who has been a customer of EM$ since 2006. They have multiple locations and recently upgraded their QBPOS to V2013:
“Sofia was fantastic to work with. She responded quickly to any questions that I had and made herself available to fit my schedule so that she could remotely work through a problem that we were having. Will English also helped me, via telephone, on a different computer issue while he was at a trade show on the other side of the country. I've dealt with English Management Solutions for software and hardware purchases as well as technical assistance for over 3 years now and have consistently had positive experiences. Thanks guys.”

Thank you for trusting us with your business software and bookkeeping needs!

Referrals Make a Difference. We value the confidence that you place in our staff and the Intuit product by referring EM$. For those clients who refer us business that results in billing hours, we will give you a $25 Amazon gift card.
