Hey Johnny be good,

You can setup the company’s fiscal year to February and begin your books which ever month you like. The fiscal year setup only helps when you generate reports like P&L or Balance Sheet.

If you choose not to go back you can enter November ending balance and begin from December this way you will be able to reconcile your books. Also you can always change your fiscal year end anytime from COMPANY --- COMPANY INFORMATION.

Company Files are not all in the default subdirectory
August 05, 2015 06:56PM
Hi,

I have created a lot of learning company files etc and I have a few client files.

I initially wanted to save all of the company files to the desktop for faster and easier retrieval.

I now have a problem. when I use the file open within the QBooks program, it does not find the
companies saved to the desktop, and I have files all over the place.

Is this the best and only way to keep company files using the subdirectory created by Quickbooks?

If one wants to do a quick back up of all client files to a flash drive, it would be nice to have them all in the same place, and perhaps at a higher level in the windows environment.

Can u advise me on Best Practices?

Thanks
David

Hello David,

Exporting Customer Files from Customer Center is for external purposes.

For QuickBooks export/import, you must do it the same way as Chart of Accounts which is from FILE, UTILITIES, EXPORT, LIST TO IFF FILES
