Date Format for Data Entry

Hi There,

I just upgraded to Quickbooks Premier 2023 Contractor edition, and needed help with changing the date format for data entry.  On my old desktop version, I was able to enter expenses using date format MM/DD.  In Quickbooks 2023 Premier Desktop, I need to enter YYYY/MM/DD.  

Is there a way to change the format back to MM/DD.  It's just very cumbersome to have to enter the year when entering a large volume of expenses.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Dom,

 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. It's essential you're able to adjust your date format in QuickBooks and I'll be happy to share more info. 

 

Since there isn't an option to change the date format within QuickBooks, the program uses the date format that's on your computer system. This means in order to change the date format in QB, you'll have to adjust the one on your computer. 

 

Let me know if you have additional questions. I'll be a message away in case you need anything else.
