Commenting the Report in Quickbooks

When QuickBooks makes a backup of your company file, it also compresses the file so it will take up less space on your hard disk. The internal component that compresses and decompresses files has changed. The new component provides a number of benefits, but the old and the new components are not compatible.



Once you make a backup with QuickBooks 2010 or later, such as when you upgrade QuickBooks and are asked to make a backup of your company file, you can no longer restore that backup with an earlier version of QuickBooks. This utility will take a company file backup created with QuickBooks 2010 or later, and create a restored company file that you can then open in an earlier QuickBooks version.

Procedure:
Choose File > Utilities > Restore Backup for Earlier Quick Books Version.


*      Click the button next to the Backup filename field.


*      Find and select a backup Quick Books company file (the filenames end with .QBB), and then click Open.
*      Click the button next to the Restored filename field.

*      In the Save in list, select the folder where you want to save the restored company file.


*      Enter a unique name for the restored file in the File name field (you don't want to overwrite an existing company file), and then click Save.

*      Click OK.


This saved file we called as special restore file and we can use this file to open in 2010 QB file and compare the transactions

Handling Customer NSF check:

You need to take the monies out of your checking account and also put it back on the customer's account to show that they still owe you. The best way to handle it is as follows:
  • Create an Other Charge Item called Bounced Check or NSF. In the description field say something like "Your check # has been returned, please remit replacement payment immediately." For the Account enter your Checking account.
  • Now, Invoice the customer for the Item Bounced Check and enter in the check #, Invoice # and other information about the check. This takes the money out of your checking account and puts it back on the customer A/R
  • You can also create an Other Charge Item called NSF Fee and charge the customer for any service charge received from the bank. You can put this to your account for Bank Service Charges to offset what your bank charged you or to a Misc. Income account.
  • When you receive a replacement check from the customer, Receive Payment as usual and make your deposit.
