Peachtree User Problems Solved]

Peachtree Quantum, and all the other Peachtree Accounting programs, are very comprehensive offerings. There is a lot that they can do, many different ways to do the same thing ... and sometimes even little errors that slip past the eagle-eyed developers! So today we check out some of the recent problems and queries that people in the Peachtree business software user community have been experiencing, and the solutions to them.
Paying a company owners without a payroll
Having a payroll is not only a headache with few employees, but a massive extra training and tax expense. Some users have recently been asking about how they should pay themselves within Peachtree software without setting up a payroll. Of course, owners' equity accounts can be set up within Peachtree, but really this question is one for an accountant that has your full financial details rather than the software developer.
Disappearing quotes
One mysterious problem that Peachtree's internal support was actually unable to answer has been solved by the intrepid and expert small business accounting software user community. The problem occurs in Peachtree Quantum 2009; some quotes are not disappearing after they are converted into sales invoices, they remain in the quote list. The short-term solution is to simply manually delete it from the quote register. However, some people have been able to get their quotes to automatically convert by switching from SMART POSTING to REAL TIME POSTING. As a note, though, in the 2010 release, quotes will not disappear from the list after they have been converted - this is a deliberate change.
Printing issues with journal entries
Some users have had problems printing journal entries, with the problem occurring in both the sample and real company, and when the journal entry is dated. This appears to be a symptom of corrupted data or files - running data verification and reinstalling the program has fixed it for some Peachtree Accounting users.
