So did you really think that I would begin my 2016 version of what I like best in the new QuickBooks any different than in prior years? Of course not! These lyrics from the ‘Sound of Music’ are still the perfect way of thinking about my favorite things in the new versions of QuickBooks for 2016.
So the ‘other guy’ got the scoop thanks at least in part to Intuit, who didn’t bother to send me the official notification that they were ‘releasing’ QuickBooks on Tuesday 9/8. I’m not saying that ‘he’ doesn’t do his homework, we all know that he keeps his eyes and ears to the grindstone and is always maximizing his ‘war-n-peace like writing style’ into a feature or series of them that detail every little detail. I on the other hand always try to give you my ‘picks’ and ‘tips’ and so once again we here at Insightful Accountant will be giving you a set of short ‘one act plays’ covering the individual changes, enhancements and new features of the 2016 desktop product line.
In a lot of ways you might consider this the 'year of the file', in terms of related features, and certainly when it comes to 'my picks.' Those features that give you greater control over your QuickBooks Company file, and/or resolving common file-related problems, make up my 'favorite newbies'.
Favorite Newbie # 5 - Bulk Clear 'Send' Forms
How many times have you found that you have hundreds, if not thousands, of QuickBooks forms marked 'send later'? Over time these just got worse and worse because there was no way you or your client were going to go down the long list and click the 'remove' button for each one of the transactions from the Send Forms window. Well new for 2016 is a feature that allows you to clear these transactions 'in mass'. This new feature is available in all 2016 versions of QuickBooks desktop products.
