Shouldn't QuickBooks be redirected to Intuit, Inc. instead of accounting software? --Sleepyhead81 08:56, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

No. Microsoft Office doesn't redirect to Microsoft Sleepnomore 11:23, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

• The article was previously a redirect to accounting software. This has been removed with an article text instead (as it should be). --Sleepyhead81 14:53, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I am an active user of Quickbooks, however, the task of writing this is so daunting due to its vast size. Can someone set up an outline of sub-headings for software? If this existed, I would be happy to contribute to individual focused topics on the software. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.6.236.10 (talk o contribs) 16:55, April 30, 2006 (UTC)

Restructuring

See Wikipedia:Pro & con lists for why the current arrangement of this article is a bad idea. Uncle G 18:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the Pros & Cons arrangement isn't the best. Perhaps we could outline the various menus of QB and fill in w/content: Vendors, Customers, Banking, Reports, etc.

Two other ideas:

-discuss the different versions of QB - Pro, Premier, Online, and Enterprise
-discuss the industry specific versions of QB Premier: Retail, Manufacturer/Wholesale, Contractor, etc. Jennifer Thieme 06:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I used the Adobe Illustrator entry as a template for this QuickBooks entry, adding in considerable informaiton to flesh it out. I need to find some additional attributions, but I think we've got a good base for this entry now. FYI, I review and write about financial software in my "real" job, so I feel uber-qualified on this topic. --Imobannon 015:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Quickbooks has 2 types of desktop versions, its Pro / Premier and Enterprise Solutions. Functions are not much different although some functions that are not available in Pro are available in Premier and functions that are not available in Premier are available in Enterprise, the major difference between Quickbooks Pro / Premier and Enterprise versions are the list limits. This consists of the Chart of Accounts, Items list, Names list which is a combination of the Customer, Vendor, Employee and Other names list. Used to suppor Enterprise version as a Support Engineer for Quickbooks Enterprise since its 6.0 release so I'm much more adept with 6.0 and up versions. I have not tried out that online version though! :) Romandls3 (talk) 13:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Things I hate about the 2009 or 9.0 version? Although its still on its early stage, improvements can be expected (I hope).

Why? Because:

Still a lot of improvements can expected. Romandls3 (talk) 14:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

The article has a request for citations. I will get them if someone will tell me where you think it needs them MikeBlockQuickBooksCPA (talk) 08:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Versions history?

A lot of wiki software articles appear to have version tables; might be a useful detail. 98.247.107.4 (talk) 18:43, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Add-On Software?

The add-on software section invites spam. When I updated the page with QuickBooks Online info, I added a couple of examples to the add-on section to be consistent with what is there already. But in general I think that entire section should be redone in a not-so-spammy way. Thoughts? DoubleNickelArlington (talk) 20:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

External link addition

I found this website (Right Networks) that has a lot of information on QuickBooks Hosting, and they're apparently Intuit Exclusive Provider for QuickBooks Hosting (Seen on Intuits Website Here). I'm kind of new to editing would this be a worth-while source to quote in the Wikipedia article? Let me know and I'll do the work.

Regarding Johnuniq undoing revision 463443406 and requesting explanation

According to external guidelines: Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

Obviously, many people who are researching this software would like to know how it actually gets used but I'm possibly missing something. How is this study on the usage of this relatively complex software not relevant to the understanding of the software?

QuickBooks on MacOS

The article does not mention something that I feel was pretty significant in the history of QuickBooks.

(Note that this is all from my memory. I may have many of the dates and facts wrong.)

Sometime during 2000 or early 2001, intuit announced that they would be discontinuing both QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro for MacOS. [Similarly, intuit had earlier announced intention to discontinue Quicken for MacOS--a decision that they soon reversed without ever interrupting production. Reports at the time noted that the Quicken reversal came just a couple days after a private meeting in Cupertino at which Apple supposedly showed a team from intuit a preview of some of the innovations coming soon to the Mac platform.]

Maybe I'm misremembering what happened. Maybe it was only the payroll functionality that they were discontinuing on the Mac editions of QB. I recall that they sent us a complimentary copy of Aatrix TopPay, a standalone payroll application that could be used (with a lot of transferring hassles) alongside QB. But, regardless of whether they discontinued QB on Mac altogether or just the payroll support, the decision forced a large number of businesses either to abandon Macs or to abandon intuit. (For many users, integrated payroll was the only reason they had chosen QB instead of some other General Ledger software in the first place.)

Support for Mac editions of QB ceased in 2001. If I recall correctly, QBPro Mac-edition users were offered QBPremier for Windows at the QBPro price as an apology.

A few years later, intuit re-introduced QB on the Mac, this time with no integrated payroll support. (Again, I could be wrong. Maybe that basic edition without payroll functionality never went out of production.) Currently, however, I think the Mac edition permits using the online assisted payroll processing through intuit, but, unlike with desktop payroll, users cannot process and edit payroll themselves from within QB.

Neutrality

The criticisms section is almost the size of the rest of the article put together, which is usually a sign of a less-than-neutral article (especially for such a well-known subject). The last couple of paragraphs in that section are either unsourced or poorly sourced, and should be sourced or removed. --Darkwind (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
