Getting Started


Installation

Chart of accounts

Multiple currencies

Opening balances

Managing company files


In this chapter, I'll go over some of the tips and shortcuts for setting up QuickBooks and your company file. Like most of the discussions in this book, the contents of this chapter assume you're not new to QuickBooks, and you know the basics (a book covering every basic task in QuickBooks and also covering every Premier feature would be well over a thousand pages). If you're new to QuickBooks you'll find that the Help Files are quite good at explaining the basic functions for the software.


Installation Tips

You can find detailed instructions for installing QuickBooks 2012 in the Downloads section of www.cpa911publishing.com. Those instructions are easier to follow (and more complete) than the installation instructions that come with the software.

In this section I offer some tips for installing QuickBooks the way IT professionals would. These suggestions make it easier to use, repair, and maintain the software.


Upgrading QuickBooks

If you're upgrading to QuickBooks 2012 from an earlier version, it's not a good idea to install an upgrade over an existing version of the software. By default, when you upgrade, QuickBooks assumes you want to replace the previous version.

Instead, install the new version in addition to (not in place of) the old version by changing the installation folder to C:\QB2012 during the install process. This leaves your current version of QuickBooks in place, in case you encounter any problems working with your company file in the new version. When everything is working properly you can remove the older version in the Add/Remove Programs applet of Control Panel.

Create another folder for storing your 2012 company files, e.g. C:\QB2012\CompanyFiles. Creating a discrete location for your 2012 data file prevents QuickBooks from storing files from multiple versions in the same folder.

Copy your existing company files to the new company file folder; don't open a company file from its current location (linked to the previous version of QuickBooks) in QuickBooks 2012.

Alternatively, you can make a backup of your company file and save it in the new folder you created for your QuickBooks 2012 data files; then you can restore the backup file to get started with QuickBooks 2012.


Opening an Existing Company File

If you replace your previous version with QuickBooks 2012 Premier (installing to the same folder that held your previous version), the first time you launch QuickBooks the software opens the company file that was open when you last closed QuickBooks in the previous version. Then the system begins the process of updating the file to Premier
