Here are the noteworthy improvements to QuickBooks 2014. If you chose to upgrade, please do so via my website for a 20% discount (and free shipping if you order the CD on top of the default download option). The 2013 icons take you to 2014 software.
QuickBooks Pro/Premier 2014
Online Banking Center is renamed to
Bank Feeds. The selecting of transactions to be imported, and renamed,
has been streamlined for faster data entry.
Emailing customers
invoices has been improved too. You can
customize
email templates, and add another attached document (in addition to the
invoice) to your email.
There's a new
ribbon banner collection screen, where it's much easier for the A/R person to
do their job of managing and collecting on overdue invoices.
Something nicer
for the A/P person is that if a credit is used to pay a vendor's bill, the
credit will now show up on the stub.
QuickBooks Enterprise 2014
Enterprise has an important nice new job costing
reports, especially the
Job Work in
Progress Report, used to calculate over/under billings. This report can be
filtered by Salesrep or Job Status.
There's also a
Committed
Cost by Job Report, that includes Open purchase orders, and wages on time
sheets (not burdened yet).
For manufacturers
using inventory management, there are some cool
new assembly features.
For distributors
or light manufactures, there are new purchasing & pricing options. There always
was a low reorder point, but now there is also a
new top reorder point. If you run an automatic
Purchase Order, it'll know how many to order for you. Of course, you
can adjust that for reasons only the human mind would know. There's even an
advanced Pricing Discount feature that costs $399 annually that gives
Enterprise POS type features.
Mac Version
All the "improvements" on the Mac version are screen changes. I don't consider these improvements, just change. If you've had me setup your QuickBooks environment on a Mac or PC, the screen is optimized to be as fast as possible already. I'm happy to do it again.
If you do want to upgrade, please do it via
my website for a 20% discount (and convenience, as it gets you there fast, plus free shipping if you order a CD on top of
the download default option). The QuickBooks icons take you to the 2014
software.
