Major Functionalities in QuickBooks
QuickBooks makes business more organized and the effects of the transactions more visible, which in turn helps users manage their income, expenses, and cash flows by collecting dues from customers and other debtors, paying utility bills and suppliers, and remitting taxes as per schedule. QuickBooks software categorizes transactions of similar nature under a particular heading, e.g., vendors, customers, employees, Company, and banking, to enter the details quickly and know the position instantly. Following is a brief description of each,
Vendors: Vendor is the first tab displayed on the top left corner of the screen when a user opens it. It automates the account payables. The user can enter the bills and use the pay bill function to make online payments to the given vendor. The detailed information regarding aggregate dues and dues to each vendor allows users to place orders as the condition permits and schedule supplier payments.
Customers: This function allows users to create, raise, and print invoices and forward them to customers. The businesses can track each customer’s aggregate and individual outstanding balance at any point. They can also know the average collection period and overdue invoices. It helps manage the bills and receivables in the business.
Employees: The software maintains close employee details with a timesheet and ensures timely salary to employees. It acts like an automated payroll system.
Company: This function gives the user a chart of accounts that summarizes financial details and helps them stay on top of their finances at every month’s end.
Banking: The user can track all the bank transactions through this function and integrate them with the due payments. The banking function helps users pay a bill with the print check function, credit card swaps, or bank transfers with a few clicks.
