Name and Accounts

After you have granted access and created a backup of your file, you can proceed.

Your first step is to:

1. Select Name and Account

Select where you purchased the materials and how you want to enter the transactions into QuickBooks.

Vendor Name: the name of the vendor where you made your purchases. We recommend using only one name (i.e. "Home Depot"), rather than each store's name and number (i.e. "Home Depot Neshaminy," "Home Depot Oxford Valley").

Transaction Type: How would you record the transaction (i.e. bill, check, credit card charge)?

Account: Depending on the transaction type, the most common account types used are:

• Transaction Type: Bill
  Account Type: Accounts Payable
• Transaction Type: Check
  Account Type: Bank
• Transaction Type: Credit Card Charge
  Account Type: Credit Card

In case you cannot find the Name and Account, when choosing from the drop down, go ahead and create a new name or activate the name. Then click on "Refresh" to make your selection. After you have made all the necessary selections, you should click on "Next."

Your next step:
