QuickBooks - Sync Payments

January 26, 2010 · Posted in Tip of the Week · Comment 

Are you currently using the QuickBooks integration within SRS SmartOffice?

Are you posting invoices over to QuickBooks?

You no longer have to wait to post invoices to QuickBooks because of payments.

You no longer have to manually edit invoices in QuickBooks to add payments.

There is now a button for QuickBooks Sync Payments.

This is located in the Post Invoices to QuickBooks section ( My SRS - QuickBooks - Post Invoices).

This feature will allow you to enter payments in SRS as needed and sync with QuickBooks as needed.

It’s easy to know the last time that payments were synced with SRS by a time stamp above the sync button.

Related Contacts

January 5, 2010 · Posted in Tip of the Week · Comment 

In SRS SmartOffice you have the option to relate contacts with other contacts.

This is easy to do.

Select the main contact from your contact list.

Select the tab “Related Contacts”.

There will be a list of all your contacts on the left hand side.

Find a contact that you would like to relate and click the plus sign next to their name.

Now the player is located in the list to the right.

You can click the “Sel” button to select the contact.

Both contacts name will appear above the list on the right.

You have the option to choose how they are related.

For example:

Joe - Client

Bob - Builder

Now that you have contacts related you can have one of those contacts as an Alternate Bill To.

Having the main contact selected you may navigate to the tab “Additional Info”.

This screen has a field labeled “Alt Bill To”.

Clicking in the white space next to the label will populate a list of the contacts that are related.

You may choose one of these contacts to be the Alternate Bill To.

This is a great feature if you need to bill the builder instead of the contact.
