How to Stop QuickBooks Point of Sale from Freezing up Your Computer

Check to make sure they don’t have a lot of programs running in the background that they don’t really need and remove them from your startup. Many programs are resource leaks, even after you close them they continue using up system resources until you reboot.
Also make sure their QuickBooks POS computers meet the system requirements.

How to Add Payroll Items to Estimates in QuickBooks
Published 05/16/2012 | I read Ruth’s post at the Intuit Community with her recommendations for tracking cost-reimbursement grants for nonprofits. See recommended creating Estimates with QuickBooks items corresponding to each budgeted item per the grant award. Later, when expenses are incurred, they are to be recorded as items.
I have begun implementing this strategy but had a question when it comes to grants that reimburse salary. QuickBooks does not allow entering a payroll item on an Estimate. Because of this, how can a salary budget item be tracked – both on the Estimate and when billing?
Thanks.
Here’s my blog post about how to do it:

How to Track Designated Donations in QuickBooks
Published 05/14/2012 | I volunteer at a small nonprofit. We raised $10,000 at a fundraiser, and we want distribute a portion of it according to our mission, and hold a portion as seed money for the next fundraiser as well as operating expenses (a few hundred dollars per year). I am thinking we should have a general operating account and another Temporarily Restricted account, and move mission-related distributions through that account with careful documentation of conditions and restrictions, and with every distribution from that account supported by a vote. Or am I over-complicating it? We won’t have more than 5 or 6 distributions per year.
Thanks much for your help.
If the donations are for a specific purpose, you can’t use them for any other purpose (including fundraising or operating expenses) and you must place them in the temporarily restricted fund until they’re spent for the purpose they were donated for.
If the donations aren’t for a specific purpose, they should be placed in the unrestricted fund. If you like, you can create a sub-class called something like “designated funds” but they are still unrestricted and can be spent on anything unless they were donated for a specific purpose. In other words, only the donor can place the restrictions. Boards can designate funds but future boards can change their mind about the designation.
