create company file

SusCSRA · ‎October 09, 2023

Hello folks,

I've actually just installed Quickbooks Desktop Premier for Nonprofits. I'm trying to create a company file. I enter the business & industry type, and select accounts, but am unable to fill in the admin email address. I assume that it selects this automatically since I've chosen to set this company file up solely for myself. The button "Create Company File" stays greyed out. The only thing I can think of is that the admin email address doesn't appear in the field. And I'm unable to enter my email address (it too is greyed out). The version I'm using is 2021.

Thoughts?

Chris

I am here to assist you and work towards resolving these challenges regarding creating a company file, SusCSRA.

When creating a company file that requires Intuit account sign-in, the Admin email address field is uneditable and displayed in a greyed-out state. In addition, once you have completed all the necessary fields with asterisk, you can proceed by clicking the Create Company button.

Also, you are correct in stating that the Create Company button remains greyed out unless an email address is entered in the Admin's email field.

As the field is currently disabled, let's go through the steps again and select the Sign-in later option, allowing you to enter the email address manually.

Furthermore, I have attached a comprehensive article on creating company files as an additional reference.

Please keep me informed about the progress of the steps. I want to ensure that you receive the necessary assistance. Stay safe and take care.

I'm experiencing the same issue. All required fields have been entered, but the "create company" button is greyed out. The only thing I can do is click "Back." But that just brings me to the login page, where I have repeated the login process three times with the same result. Please help.

@Elaine Matthews

Any specific concern?

SIgn in later is no longer an option and there isn't a way to get around the greyed out email box and thus unable to create a new company file.
