New Features in QuickBooks Desktop Plus 2022
You asked for it, and we listened! Here is a more in-depth look at QuickBooks Desktop Plus 2022‘s new features with tips on how to leverage them.
1. Online Bill Payment with Melio®
With Online Bill Payment powered by Melio, you can seamlessly pay all of your vendor bills. When you pay your vendors, QuickBooks will record the bill as paid as soon as charges are deducted from your chosen source of funding. Also, if your payment method requires you to pay a processing fee, Melio will create a vendor account called “Melio.” Then, it will allocate the fee to that vendor as a separate vendor bill.
Tips
Online Bill Payment powered by Melio takes vendor payment processing one step further. This new feature will allow you to easily and accurately track your payment processing fee expenditures separately. You will also be able to:
- Strategically schedule your payments for a specific day – optimize your cash-on-hand needs.
- Strategically determine which payment method to use for each vendor payment (ACH/Debit/Credit) – allows you to take advantage of any discounts that may be offered by vendors for payment with vendor-preferred payment methods.
2. Bill Auto-creation, Uploaded by Vendor Bill Mobile
With the new bill auto-creation/upload feature, you will have the ability to snap a picture and upload a bill on your mobile device. As a reminder, the QuickBooks Desktop app is available for both Android and Apple devices.
Tips
Now there is no more time wasted manually entering numbers on bills, uploading bill images, and all the other tedious steps involved in bill management. This feature automates that process, returning precious time to you to be allocated to more important matters, like activities that generate you more revenue! Hers what you can now do:
- Use your mobile device to scan and upload a bill
- QuickBooks will automatically match your bill to an existing transaction (QuickBooks will also search for a potential matching Purchase Order, regardless of whether it is Open or Partially Received).
- Quickly Review, edit, and match any unmatched receipts to transactions
This significantly cuts down the amount of time that will need to be spent on this process. This saved time can be reallocated to more important matters, allowing you to transform opportunity costs into actionable alternatives.
3. Emailable & Customizable Vendor Bill Payment Stubs
Add your own personalized touch to vendor bill payment stubs and save them in QuickBooks as templates. This will allow you to increase the quality and consistency of vendor communications. You can maintain professionalism by including your busines logo and include details of the payment made in QuickBooks.
Tips
- From the menu bar, select Lists > Templates, and select the Bill Payment template. You can also access it from a displayed vendor bill payment transaction by selecting Manage Templates on the formatting ribbon.
- Add your personalized touch to your payment stubs and save the template to prevent wasted time repeating the same task.
This will elevate your busines service quality and professionalism while providing more relevant bill information to your vendors.
4. Selection of Multiple Email Addresses per Customer
With this new feature, you can now choose from a drop-down selection of customer email addresses when emailing invoices. This allows you to store and send to multiple customer email addresses within the customer contact.
Tips
Easily cater to customer requests and send specific communications to the customer-preferred email addresses. Use this feature to provide greater flexibility with vendor billing communications.
