PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Setting Up Opening Balances: Step 4 Gathering Your Information Entering the Opening Balances Understanding Opening Balance Equity 305

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Gathering Your Information Trial Balance for your start date Bank Statements (all accounts) Outstanding Checks and Deposits Open Invoices Unpaid Bills Employee List and W-4 Information Payroll Liabilities by Item Year-to-Date Payroll Detail by Employee Year-to-Date Payroll Tax Deposits Physical Inventory by Inventory Part 305

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Entering the Opening Balances: Step 4 (contd.) To enter your opening balances you’ll use one of the three methods: –Method 1: Directly Editing the Account –Method 2: Adding a Transaction Directly in Registers –Method 3: Using a General Journal Entry to Record Opening Balances The method you use will depend on three factors: –How familiar you are with accounting –Whether or not the account you’re editing has transactions –Whether you intend to use the Bank Reconciliation feature to reconcile your accounts 309

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Method 1: Directly Editing the Account Use this method if you’re less familiar with accounting Editing each account from the Chart of Accounts is the simplest way to enter opening balances for your Balance Sheet accounts: –Display the Chart of Accounts –Select the Bank account –Select the Account menu at the bottom of the list and then select Edit –Enter the amount in the Opening Balance field 309

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Method 2: Adding a Transaction in Registers Use this method if the account already has transactions you will need to enter a transaction directly in the register for the account: –Display the Chart of Accounts –Double-click the account in which you want to enter an opening balance –Enter a new transaction at the bottom of the register to record the opening balance using the start date and coding the entry to the Opening Bal Equity account –Click Record to save the entry 311

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Method 3: Using a General Journal Entry Use this method if you’re familiar with using Journal Entries and if you understand debits and credits: –Select the Banking menu and then select Make General Journal Entries –Fill in the Make General Journal Entries window You can use a General Journal Entry to record some, but not all, of your opening balances On the top line of each General Journal Entry, use an account called Journal Entries: –Use the Bank account type when setting up this account in your Chart of Accounts –The Journal Entries account will never have a balance, so it will never show on financial statements –It will have a register where you’ll be able to look at all of your General Journal Entries 312

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Understanding Opening Balance Equity This account, which is created automatically by QuickBooks is affected by each of the opening balance transactions entered into QuickBooks As the opening balances for assets and liabilities are entered, QuickBooks automatically adds offsetting amounts in the Opening Bal Equity account Then, after all of the opening balances are entered, Opening Bal Equity will be “closed” into Retained Earnings (or Owner’s Equity). 314

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Entering Open Items: Step 5 You must enter all the outstanding transactions using the original dates: –Outstanding Checks and Deposits –Open Bills (Accounts Payable) –Open Invoices (Accounts Receivable) –Open Purchase Orders –Open Estimates and Sales Orders 315

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Entering Year-to-Date Income and Expenses: Step 6 If your start date is not at the beginning of the fiscal year, use a General Journal Entry to enter your year-to-date income and expenses The entry allows you to summarize the total income and expenses for the first few months of the year 319

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Adjusting Opening Balance for Sales Tax Payable: Step 7 Open the Sales Tax Payable register There will be entries for each of the open Invoices you entered, this is your uncollected tax The total Sales Tax Liability is a combination of the collected tax and the uncollected tax You will need to subtract the current balance in the account (the uncollected tax) from the amount shown on Trial Balance from your accountant to arrive at the unpaid collected tax Then create a Sales Tax Adjustment for this difference 320

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Adjusting Sales Tax Payable 320

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Adjusting Inventory, Set up Fixed Assets: Step 8 If you have inventory: –You will need to create an inventory adjustment to adjust the actual quantity and value on hand as of your start date –This is done after you enter your outstanding Bills and Invoices, so that the actual inventory counts and costs will be accurate even if some of the Bills and/or Invoices include Inventory Items Setting up Fixed Assets: –If you have QuickBooks Pro or Premier, you can track detailed information about your company’s Fixed Assets Setting up Loans: –If you have QuickBooks Pro or Premier, you can track detailed information about your loans 321

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Setup Payroll Information: Step 9 Setting up payroll in QuickBooks is a lengthy and involved process See QuickBooks Payroll manual in this series for more information about setting up the payroll feature 322

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Verifying your Trial Balance: Step 10 Before you transfer the balance of Opening Bal Equity into Retained Earnings, make sure the account balances in QuickBooks match your accountant’s Trial Balance: –Select the Reports menu, then select Accountant & Taxes, and then select Trial Balance 322

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Closing Opening Balance: Step 11 Once you have compared your Trial Balance report to your accountant’s report, use a General Journal Entry to transfer (close) the balance in Opening Bal Equity into Retained Earnings: –Select the Banking menu and then select Make Journal Entry 324

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Setting the Closing Date and Backing up the File: Step 12 Set the start date as the Closing Date to Protect your Setup Balances Backing up your data is very important part of insuring the safety of your data: –If your computer stops working –If your hard disk crashes –If you find a corruption in your file To back up your company file: –Select the File menu and then select Backup 326

PAGE REF #CHAPTER 6: Company File Setup and Maintenance SLIDE # Setting Up Users in the Company File QuickBooks provides a feature for defining “users” of the file: –This feature allows the “administrator” (the owner of the file) to set privileges for each user of the file –Provides security and user tracking when several people have access to the same data file –Select the Company menu and then select Set up Users Each user should have a password When a user opens the company file, QuickBooks requires a user name and password The privileges granted to that user by the administrator determine what functions of QuickBooks they can access 326
