QuickBooks Q&A

I have several transactions (journal entries) that need to be edited and processed each month. These usually appear each month on the dashboard for me to edit and enter each transaction. They no longer appear on the dashboard, and I can't figure out how to get them back. How can I get them back onto the home screen / dashboard?

I registered for Beam, in preparation Pay Day Super, before I had marked last month's super contributions as "Paid". I didn't realise that Beam would immediately take over after registering, and thought that I could create the super contributions and then there would be an option to "Mark as Paid". Last month's super contributions is already lodged with the previous clearing house.

Is there an addon that will work with Dtools & give me quantity invoicing? My Company part invoice - % doesn't always work ie 33% & Totals mean that you have to work out pricing line by line. Neither option is great - % gives you inventory issues & Price totals is not great for productivity.

Wise AUD Account - Error 381 - Reconfirm your consent to continue seeing account updates. I tried to reconfirm the bank connection, but I got an error message.

Retention (holding back 5–10% until the job is signed off) is standard practice in construction contracts, but QBO doesn't have a built-in retention feature. That means most of us have had to figure out our own workaround.We'd love to hear how you manage it:- Do you use a separate 'Retention Receivable/Payable' account?- Do you adjust invoices or use credit notes?- How do you make sure the retention shows clearly on your balance sheet?If you've cracked it, please share your setup — it would help a lot of people in the same boat!

IS Drop list in QBO not working now?

Imagine you had a direct line to the QBO product team for five minutes. What's the one construction-specific feature you'd ask them to build?Maybe it's a proper WIP report, better retention tracking, smarter subcontractor management, dedicated cost codes, or something else that's been on your wish list for a while.Don't hold back — the more specific and detailed, the better. We genuinely want to know what would make the biggest difference to how you run your construction business.

One of the trickiest things in construction accounting is keeping costs cleanly separated across several active jobs at the same time — especially when the same crew, supplier, or piece of equipment is shared across projects.What's your biggest challenge here? Some things we hear often:- Costs getting tagged to the wrong job (or no job at all)- Subcontractor invoices that span more than one project- Shared equipment costs that are hard to split- Not realising a job is over budget until it's too lateHow do you handle it, and what could QBO do better to help?
