Thanks for the informative and easy to understand video; what is the difference between the category and the item details? Thanks!

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Category is an expense account and Item is more like an inventory item you buy to resell

[@dbt1524]

@@QbuniversityOrg What about for business use only do I need to itemize? For example, I bought 3pcs of printer. Thanks

Good morning from SoCal! Thanks for the video 😊 Should we create (and match) Bills for transactions listed in the bank feed?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Yep I would! I just left SoCal yesterday!

What subscription must I have in order to create bills? I now have simple start. Also, is there a QBO course for beginners?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

I believe you need Pro at least. Yes on my website at qbuniversity.org is a fantastic QBO course

Looking to tie in expenses & bills to particular customers so that when I generate financial reports I can see how much my expenses are to do business for that particular customer. Does using the "Customer" field allow me to accomplish this task or is the customer field only used to tie in billable expenses? If the customer field does not accomplish this, what other QB online tools can I use?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Yes this is how you do it. There is a Billable box next to it that you leave unchecked if you don’t want to bill it to the customer

Hi 👋. I work in a supermarket and my boss wants me to learn Quickbooks. Is this correct way to enter bill invoices?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Yes it is

Hi.. I need some guidance for QuickBooks, please teach to manage petty cash opening and closing.

[@QbuniversityOrg]

I'll have to put together a video for that thanks!

I just recently just started a job, the books are done old school via paper. I wish to enter transactions from July 2021 to present. What would you recommend watching to get started?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

I think I would first watch a video on setting up your company file

[@falonvela9197]

Thank you for the help!!

[@QbuniversityOrg]

You’re welcome!

how to automate bill no ? on the bill can you guide me

[@victoriaoverton9276]

How come when I enter a bill, save it and then go to enter another bill from the same vendor my category and amount from the last bill populates?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

It’s a setting in Preferences to populate those fields. Go to Preferences and you should be able to turn that off

[@user-jb9yr1fi7r]

is there a place where it will say save and pay

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Like as in pay the physical bill for you?

[@lorenacruz2910]

I have biils from vendors with Taxes how do I add that?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Taxes are just added in to the total

[@sherrieolinde2906]

The entire video is blurry on all devices of mine.

Change the resolution in the lower right hand corner of the video

CAN YOU CUT A CHECK BEFORE YOU MAKE A BILL?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

You can but then you would have to go back and apply that check to the bill to connect them

[@officeoffice3052]

@@QbuniversityOrg SO WHEN YOU PUT IN CHECK NUMBER AND IT SAYS ITS ALREADY PAID. ITS OK TO HIT YES?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

@@officeoffice3052 what do you mean. Are you going to pay the bill after entering the check and entering the check number to assign to the bill payment?

[@officeoffice3052]

@@QbuniversityOrg IF THATS POSSIBLE. ASKING IF I CUT A CHK THEN ENTER BILL IS THAT OK?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

@@officeoffice3052 yes but if you do this then when you enter the check put it to Accounts Payable. And be sure to assign it to that vendor. Then when you enter and pay the bill, use the credit to pay the bill

[@Jeremiah8rown]

Helpful, thank you!

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Welcome!!

Just how can you get 67 likes when you can't even in the video enter a bill correctly. You never get to the save and close to work or the save and next. I know it's free advice, but can I get my 8 minutes back. Nothing you told us here was useful. If people don't know that the bill date is the dated on the "invoice" bill is this the first accounting work they ever did?

[@QbuniversityOrg]

Wow! Thanks so much for your comment. Truly enlightening

[@VolleyinSF]

@@QbuniversityOrg Did I miss something. In this video you never completed entering a bill? You said Oh the vendor is missing. Oh the vendor is there but...Glad you don't do auto repair.
