I'm new to quckbooks and teaching myself to use the package. My question (probably a daft one ) is how do you post what are in Sage terms bank payment and reciepts? For example posting fuels purchases or stationery from Staples? I can see that you can write a cheque as it were but is there a simelar method on QB as there is on Sage?
Unfortunately there isn't such an easy method with QB as there is with Sage. For bank payments you can use the write cheques function and allocate the payment to the relevant expense account directly (you don't have to enter a payee). For deposits you can use the Banking - Make Deposits window. Click OK or Cancel in the first window if the deposit isn't in the list and just enter it directly in the next window. Personally I find all this a little long-winded and usually just use a journal to enter these type of transactions....but if you're not sure about journals it's probably best to do it the long-winded way.
Hi, A bit late on the response but I use Quickbooks for ALL bookkeeping.
For what you are wanting to do, I always use journals, it is far simpler to operate and a lot quicker too. This is for all cash and bank transactions. For paying suppliers and receiving funds from customers, this is all done via the suppliers and customers menu.
I wouldn't say I was an expert with Quickbooks, but if you need any help, please contact me and I will try my best.
