What's New in 2012
NEW! Calendar View
Staying on top of invoices, billing and other important tasks just got easier! The new integrated Calendar feature allows your clients to quickly view invoice and billing dates and other scheduled tasks. Plus, the improved To Do List now captures more relevant information and displays it, making it easier to see and get done.
IMPROVED! Excel Integration Refresh
Save time when exporting QuickBooks to Excel. Your clients can now save their worksheet formatting when they export,
then when they refresh the report for a new time period, simply update the saved file and their formats will be
automatically applied to each new report[2]—it's that easy!
NEW! Contributed Reports
Save time and increase efficiency by leveraging report templates, created by other QuickBooks users. You can also create report templates for your clients to use. Your clients can easily find the reports they need and filter them by industry type, user ratings and report popularity. They can populate the report with their data in one click.
NEW! Document Center
Your clients can improve their organization by attaching and storing contacts, proposals, receipts and other important documents in the QuickBooks Document Center. Simply drag and drop the documents they need, when they need them to their hard drive. Just another way QuickBooks 2012 is helping make tax time a little easier.
IMPROVED! Memorized Transactions
Increase efficiency by reviewing individual transactions (billing, invoices and estimates) before they are processed, and have the freedom to choose which transaction to process and which to postpone—all with a simple click of the mouse.
NEW! Batched Time Sheets
Increase efficiency by creating time sheets for multiple employees or vendors in one batch. It's simple, just create the time sheet and select the employees who worked the same hours and click "create." No additional re-entry needed.
NEW! Lead Center
Track and follow up on important sales leads in the new QuickBooks Lead Center. When your client's leads become customers, that customer's contact information can be transferred into the Customer Center with the simple click of the mouse.
NEW! Batched Invoicing for Time and Expenses
Save valuable time by invoicing multiple customers for time and expenses in one convenient batch. Simply create the invoice, select the customers to send it to, and let QuickBooks process the batch.
NEW! Inventory Center
Stay on top of tasks with the Inventory Center. Your clients can now easily find and locate inventory tasks by accessing your inventory items and reports all in one place with the QuickBooks Inventory Center. Plus, you can add a notes field for quicker identification.
