At least that’s how I felt last night at 1 AM as I was installing the trial version of the 3rd accounting software package that night. You see, QuickBooks has failed me. In a very BIG way. Thankfully, they have a 60-day guarantee, so I will be sending it back. Too bad I have at least 500 items entered into inventory already.<\/p>\n
The snag came after I had finished entering all of the Dragon Floss items yesterday and was ready to do the accounting part of creating a purchase order, receiving the items into inventory, etc. That’s when I figured out that QuickBooks doesn’t handle multiple currencies. ARGGGGHHHHHH! *%&#@!#@^%$#*&@!*&%!!!!! Yes, all of my hard work over the past couple of weeks, setting up accounts, figuring out how the software worked and entering inventory is down the tubes.<\/p>\n
So, last night, I started the search for a new accounting package. I downloaded PeachTree. Installed it. Tested it. WRONG! I went looking some more. I downloaded Simply Accounting. Installed it. Tested it. WRONG! Then, with Terry’s help, I downloaded Microsoft’s Office Accounting Professional 2007. After 1 AM, the trial has finally finished installing and I go to try to do the QuickBooks conversion. ERROR. I try it again. ERROR. I try something different. ERROR. Terry finally took over and never did get it to work, but he did confirm that you can assign a currency to a vendor. WOOHOO! Victory, at last.<\/p>\n
So, I still have some testing to do, but with 2 weeks left until the grand opening, I have very little time to order a new software package, get it in, install it, configure it, setup the company file, create multiple vendors, try to import my inventory items, then recreate all of the purchase orders, invoices, bills, accounts, etc.<\/p>\n
Just what I needed. More work. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
