Are you a QuickBooks online user? Want to know a few tips to make the data entry a little easier?
Please note that it is not currently recommended to use Internet Explorer for QuickBooks online as some features will not work with that browser. For the purposes of using QuickBooks online, Chrome or Firefox are more reliable browsers to use.
Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts for PC:
- Ctrl+Alt+S = Save & New
- Ctrl+Alt+I = Invoice
- Ctrl+Alt+W = Write Checks
- Ctrl+Alt+R = Receive Payment
- Ctrl+Alt+E = Estimate
- Ctrl+Alt+L = Lists
- Ctrl+Alt+A = Accounts
- Ctrl+Alt+C = Customers
- Ctrl+Alt+V = Vendors
- Calculations — if you are in an amount or quantity box, type in the calculation (i.e., 3+12) and hit tab (the result of 15 will be calculated and entered in the field).
Date Shortcuts:
- T = Today
- Y = Beginning of year
- R = end of year
- M = beginning of month
- H = end of month
- W = beginning of week
- K = end of week
- +/ – = day before/day after
Zoom Display (make it larger or smaller):
- Ctrl + or Ctrl – (or hold Control and scroll up or down with your mouse to zoom in or out)
If you are a QuickBooks windows desktop user, many of the commands are the same.
I hope you find this tips to be helpful when using QuickBooks for your recordkeeping!
