Quickbooks Enterprise 2021-Desktop

I have a company file on QBO. However, on 10/1/20 I am starting a new file in Quickbooks Enterprise-Desktop, for reasons. I am not migrating any data from QBO to QBD as the QBO is in a mess. My question, when I receive payments from customers for the invoices entered in QBO, how do I record that payment in QBD? I do not want to create an invoice to receive payment as it will duplicate sales. The sales invoice is already entered in QBO. I will use both, QBO and QBD file to file taxes at the end of the year.

Any help in the matter is appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for providing the details, @OCP1.

 

To record a payment in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) software, you’ll want to go to the Customers menu and select Receive Payments. However, this will create an open balance to your customer as there’s no invoice to link the payment.

 

Also, the invoice created from your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account will be marked as overdue or unpaid. I’d suggest reaching out to your accountant for the best advice on where to record the transactions. This way, we can guarantee your books are well accounted for.

 

Nonetheless, you can follow these steps on how to receive a payment in your QBDT software:

  1. Go to the Customers menu and select Receive Payments.
  2. Select a customer from the Received From drop-down menu.
  3. Enter the amount received from the Payment Amount field.
  4. Fill in the needed information and click Save & Close.
  5. From the Payment Credit pop-up window click OK to save the transaction.

You can also refer to this article for more details: Record an invoice payment.

 

Let me also share these articles that you can use to know your ways around QBDT and filing taxes in the future:

Hi,

 

It would be a good option to transfer the master files with opening balances (broken down by due invoices). This way you will be able to record customer payments and also generate a AR Ageing Report.

 

Hope this helps.

First transfer the accounts closing balances from QBO to QBD as opening balances now, well aligned to their  respective customer names and vendors names using the following options; (1) you can user the import method of excel to QuickBooks, (2) you can use Journal Entries. So as they don't present the figures as uncategorized income or expenses.

Hope this will help you.

You mean I can't be in Uganda and get a Quickbooks Enterprise Desktop yearly Subscription. Because am hoping to use it on over 30 Users/Computers, actually I intend to use it on 50 users scale.

 

Hope intuit will reply to me positively.

Look no further, @Kabvice. Here's everything you need to know about QuickBooks Desktop.

 

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise version is only available for the 3 regions namely United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. This is because it is designed to cater to the specific SE taxes of the countries. However, we have another QuickBooks version that is available for some countries named QuickBooks Online (QBO). This has a general accounting principle that can be applied globally with exemption to some regions. To know more, please head to the QBO international version. You can set up a company from there by selecting your country. 

 

Also, I encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Help page, so you can browse articles or even questions of other QuickBooks users that were answered by QuickBooks experts. This will help you earn more QuickBooks knowledge that can help you with your accounting tasks. 

 

If you have further questions about the version of QuickBooks you need, please leave a reply below. I'm always here to give answers and clarifications to help you get back to business in no time. Have a good one.

You may use QBD Enterprise Silver for 30 users or QBD Enterprise Diamond for 40 users in Uganda. Should you need more than 40 users to access one company file at the same time, you may consider a few options as a workaround.

 

The next issue is how you will pay the subscription. Company only accepts credit cards to pay it. We help clients in Asia and Africa for this payment issue. Check our profile name and send your business email address in a private message to us.
