What's new in QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024

by Intuit• Updated 1 month ago

Learn what’s new in QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024.

We've revamped our release process so you no longer have to: 

  • Wait for an annual release to get access to improvements and enhancements
  • Take time away from your business to install a new version-year on all your computers

Now, instead of an annual release, you'll get a message within QuickBooks Desktop to install the latest updates as soon as they're available. Simply accept the periodic in-product update notifications to ensure you have the latest feature and security updates.

Here’s what’s included in the QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024 release 6 and how you can use them to benefit your business.

Release 6 (R6) 10/1/2024

You can customize which columns show in the Customer, Vendor, and Memorized Transactions lists. This will help you sort lists by the specific fields you choose. There are 12 new columns you can customize in the Items list.

You can quickly access reports filtered for a selected customer from the Customer Center.

Data security is our highest priority. Your data will now be encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256 bit encryption. When you upgrade your data to QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024, the passwords for all the non-admin users will be removed. As the admin you’ll need to set a new temporary password for your users. Here’s how:

  1. Go to Company and select Users and Passwords.
  2. Select each non-admin user one at a time, then select Edit.
  3. Enter a new password and select Save.

When your users log in they’ll need to enter the new temporary password. After log in they’ll be prompted to change their temporary password to a permanent one.

We’ve added 12 new Ship to and Name address report columns and filters to multiple reports. You can now run reports to include these new fields and filter by them to give you insights into your data by location. 

Here are the new fields and filters:

We also made it easier to adjust column widths in your reports. When you adjust column widths those changes are auto saved in the report. You can also lock columns so the width can't be changed once you set it.

You can now see your sales by state with the new Sales by Ship To Address report. You can go to Reports, then Sales and then Sales by Ship To Address to tun the new report.

We’ve made it easy to update item prices and adjust quantity/value on hand. Here’s what’s new:

Change Item Prices

  • Change the prices on multiple items at once.
  • Sort by any column header.
  • Change prices with a flat rate or a percentage.

Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand

  • Sort by any column header.
  • Adjust quantity and value in one screen at the same time.

Beginning in QuickBooks Mac Plus 2024, you can view your data for up to 1 year after your subscription ends. You won’t be able to edit your data during this time, but you can renew your subscription or try QuickBooks Online.
