vendor information

i didnt purchase a new version but i has our IT guys working on this PC.  i think they loaded the Premier Edition on it and it should have been the Premier Contractor Edition.  Thanks for your help

Hello Glendary,

Let me add some details about the QuickBooks Desktop Edition.

If your IT guy accidentally selected a different Industry Type for QuickBooks, you can reinstall QuickBooks Desktop using a clean install to toggle to a different edition. Please make sure to back up the QuickBooks company file before doing this.

Once you're done reinstalling QuickBooks Desktop, you will be given the option to choose the edition when you open the program for the first time. Just make sure to select Contractor Edition. Lastly, you can now restore your backup company file.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Let me know if you need further help, I'll be around.

These are not Custom Fields; they are part of installing "industry edition" of Premier as Contractor.

is there any similar feature to that in the desktop contractor version to input get liability & workers comp expiration dates to get yearly reminders on each sub? or do I have to create custom fields and reminder alerts manually?

Thanks for posting your payroll concern in the Community space, amandatropical.

In QuickBooks Desktop, you can only add the Work Comp Expires and Gen Liability Expires as an additional field. This way, you can track their expiration date in the Vendor's profile. However, the option to get yearly reminders on each sub when setting them up in the Custom Fields section is unavailable. We need to set them up in the Reminders list in QuickBooks.

Here's how you can add the fields:

1. Click Vendors on the top menu.
2. Choose Vendor Center. 
3. Double click the vendor's name.
4. Tick the Additional Info tab.
5. Tap the Define Fields button.
6. Enter the info in the Label column and place a checkmark for Vend column.
7. Hit OK.
8. Type the expiration date in the Custom Fields section.
9. Press OK.

Then, let's create a reminder for Work Comp Expires and Gen Liability expiration date.

Here's how:

1. Click Company on the top menu.
2. Choose Reminders.
3. Tick the Plus icon on the top right side.
4. Enter the details in the Type, Priority, With, Due and Time fields.
5. Type the description in the Details section.
6. Select Active in the Status field.
7. Press OK.
