How do you fix a quickbooks file?

Answer 1

QuickBooks files that have problems include files that

1. have transactions missing (never entered)

2. have transactions entered using the incorrect form

3. have accounts with incorrect beginning balances

4. have transactions entered with inaccurate amounts, names, items, accounts

For inexperienced QuickBooks users, starting over with a new QuickBooks file would

be easier. You can start by finding the mistakes through reconciliations of the bank accounts, credit card accounts, current liablity accounts, and long term liability accounts (banking menu > reconcile).

In addition you can review the Accounts Payable Aging Summary, Accounts Receivable Aging Summary, Inventory Valuation Summary reports for problem transactions.

Actually fixing mistakes within a reasonable amount of time takes a great deal of

QuickBooks experience and accounting expertise.
