In PT 2002, if we set up as a retail store, we buy an item on the
vendor’s model number, we assign our own. How can I get PT to
recognise the same part in A/P and A/R, with two different numbers
that are not cross-referencing??

Hi everyone!  I have a client with an odd problem I can’t seem to solve.
Using PT8 on a Win2K server and workstations with W98SE.  Anytime they try
to delete an inventory item the system freezes.  No error messages – just
locks up tight.  The inventory items have no activity, they were items added
with the wrong class.  We tried on two different workstations with the same
results.

Any ideas?

Peachtree 2003 hangs up on conversion of the Vendor.dat file from v9.0 in an example company that
use to test payroll.  The subject vendor.dat file has never (ever) had any entries, nor have any
other modules had any entries, other than the payroll module for sample employees.

The only data this company set contains is the employee list.  I know that I could create a new
company in v10 and import the employee list, but I would like to understand why a virtually "empty"
company cannot convert to v10.0

Any suggestions?

Was a thread going on about the licensing agreement and the terminal server
envirement.  I checked with my account manager at Peachtree.  Here is what came
back.

Bill,
Someones mind is way over expanded on this one I think.
Peachtree(even before Sage, now BEST SOFTWARE, bought us) never has worked well
in a terminal server envirement due to rights issues.
Technically I do not know more that that, but we even have a document we will
send to help people set up Peachtree is a terminal server environment.
I have no idea about the wording in the licencing agreement though.
Have a good day.

I’m trying to learn Crystal Reports for Peachtree with the 30 day evaluation
that is on my CD.  Because Crystal Reports help is broken(another story),
and not specific to Peachtree, I am using the Peachtree Crystal Reports
Tutorials to help learn the program.

In tutorial 3, it tells me to add JrnlKey_Journal to the SELECT tab in order
to show quotes.  Well. when I finished my report is was a huge mess,
basically showing far more transactions than were quotes.   I looked up
Jrnlkey_Journal in PT help and it told me that 12 was the value for Quotes.
So I went ahead and entered 12 in the SELECT tab as the value of
JrnlKey_Journal, and it SEEMED to work.
So my question, did I do it right?   I’m pretty sure, but the tutorial never
said anything about the value of _Journal.

Also, can someone point me to some good resources for Crystal Reports for
PT?  This program is far more complex and difficult to use than I
anticipated, and for making the needed improvements to PT reporting, I will
have to become quite adept with this program if I plan on making the
investment of purchancing it.

Doesn’t help me that the HELP doesn’t work :[

Thanks

How do I handle checks that were written prior to the purchase of PT and are
now clearing the bank? Should I make a general journal entry for each check
or is there a better system for accounting for these deposits and
withdrawals?

Thanks

Greetings

I am using PeachtreeRelease 8.0
I am putting in a 4% stabilization levy on the salary gross amount my
formuals is as follows
LIMIT=9000.00;
PERCENT=4.00;
TAXABLE_GROSS=YTD_LIMIT(ADJUSTED_GROSS,LIMIT);
ANSWER=-(TAXABLE_GROSS*PERCENT%)

Problem is employees who make $750.00 or less don’t pay the levy
yet it calculates for everyone, and some employees don’t calculate the
stabilization levy, although I selected it for this particular
salaried employee

Is my formula correct?

Why is that?  How can I fix it?

I currently use Peachtree Complete Version 6.0 for all of my invoicing,
inventory, and payroll.  I use MS Access for contact management and general
data management of all of my customers.  I prefer access because of the
flexability in creating my own reports based on any data that I choose.  I
use PeachTree for the other stuff because it’s accounting abilities are far
superior than anything I could develope in access.  I would really like to
get everything into one platform and avoid the double data entry,  but
contact management is very important.  I have looked on the PT website and
noticed that the new versions have improved contact management based on ACT
software. I am not familiar with ACT and don’t know if that would solve my
problem or not.

Could anyone that uses the new PT let me know about its contact management
ability, and also does it allow for better import/export ability with MS
Office Products?

I am also making the assumption that I can import my Version 6.0 Company
into it.

Thanks

Kevin

I access my bank accounts on a daily basis.  This helps me verify
which of my daily credit card transactions have cleared.  That day.

While I am at it.. is there a way that I can clear my outstanding
checks through Peachtree as I go through the month, or do I have to
wait to do a bank reconciliation at the end of the month

I use various versions of Peachtree and like them all. However, my use has
never been with a multi branch/multi-state company that wants to track
profits by job. This client assembles and installs lighting for commercial
and residential landscapes. Since he wants to be able to know how profitable
each branch is down to the jobs installed. Of course to file various state
reports, sales, payroll, inventory and other assets must be available by
state which could include more than one branch.

They are now on Business Works but have never used the inventory/job costing
modules. They do well to complete an overall gl at the present pace so
accounting software change would not be a problem, assuming PT can provide
the above info.
