ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN QUICKBOOKS

Issue #1.  If you are getting dumped out of the software regularely the solution may be as simple as adding a penny in the Employee Centre for Vac Pay O/S for all terminated employees.

Issue #2.  "Payroll" may not automatically license if you have registered for same.  Contact Intuit Canada for assistance.

Issue #3.  There is no option to export the "Payroll Item List" as an ".iif" file so that it can be imported into another QuickBooks company file.  No solution.

Issue #4.  Transactions posted PRIOR TO converting to QuickBooks 2008 will not calculate taxes correctly if you change any value within the transaction:  The GST and/or PST will zero-out.  The solution is to change all tax codes in the transaction to something other than what they should be.  Use your tab key to move to the field after the "Tax" column.  Then, move back to the "Tax" column and change change the Tax Code back to what it should be.  This will ensure that the taxes calculate correctly in the GST and/or PST fields.

Issue #5.  When updating from an earlier version of QuickBooks (prior to QB 2008), taxes will not calculate correctly in both customer and vendor "memorized" transactions.  The "Invoice To" field may not fill in correctly from Memorized Transactions.  You must re-create and re-memorize all transactions in the "Memorized Transaction List" upon converting to QB 2010.
