QuickBooks Enterprise Features & Benefits

Enterprise Solutions is ideal for larger, growing Canadian businesses in any of the following situations:

• You're currently using QuickBooks Pro or Premier, and you're stretching its limits
• You need to add more customer, product & vendor info than QuickBooks Pro or Premier will allow
• You need 5 or more simultaneous users
• You have employees in specialized roles & functions
• You have multiple locations that you need to track & manage
• You're looking for an alternative to accounting & business management solutions that cost tens of thousands of dollars

Solutions Developer’s Kit (SDK)

QuickBooks Solutions Developer's Kit provides APIs to developers & consultants to easily share (import and export) data from Enterprise Solutions. This allows selected sales, customer or financial data to automatically move between software products and prevents data from being corrupted in the sharing process. A free copy of SDK can be downloaded from http://developer.intuit.com

Over 100 business applications (sold separately) integrate with QuickBooks using the SDK.

Rather than employing its own firewall, Enterprise Solutions uses the firewalls that are on your PC. Further security features include passwords for logging into the system and passwords for Company File logins.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions is based on a very robust back-end database program called SYBASE®. Accordingly, the size of the company file should not affect the speed of your QuickBooks, although some degradation may be expected.

Yes, Enterprise Solutions comes with read access. It can be accessed via Excel, Access and Crystal Reports (sold separately). You can also upgrade to read/write access. The read/write driver allows you to run mass batch updates to your QuickBooks customer, vendor and other list information.

The ODBC driver (both the read-only and read/write versions) are produced by FLEXquarters.com.

In addition to measures you might otherwise take with safeguarding sensitive data, you can trust the layers of security in QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, such as:

• A Windows setting with read/write Windows permissions
• Login info for each registered user, with an always-on Audit Trail to track all changes
• Fine-grained permissions that help restrict the changes non-administrators can make to your company data (i.e., 14 predefined user roles)
• A server-based multi-user QuickBooks installation

You can also install the Enterprise server on a Linux computer for further protection of your data.

Of the 14 pre-defined user roles, you can easily modify 13. The only exception is the Administrator role, which you cannot modify.

Additionally, you can add your own custom users & roles.

Yes, it is! QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions makes it easy for you to transact in a wide range of currencies from around the world. So you can accept payments from customers in Bangalore and pay the new consultant you took on in the UK.

The always-on Audit Trail is one feature in a series of features designed to give you control over your private, confidential and sensitive data. It is intended not to prevent users from accessing and manipulating your company’s data but rather to track all changes and let you see:

• What modifications have been made
• Who made those changes
• When those changes were made

With the always-on Audit Trail, you can trust that, even if someone edits your data, you will be able to reverse changes and know where those changes came from.

The reports in Enterprise 12.0 are the same as those in Premier, but the bonus in Enterprise is the Combined Reports feature, which allows you to compile data from multiple files into a single report.

Yes. This function is called “Combined Reports”, and it allows you to combine or consolidate data from a common time period (e.g., last month, last quarter, last year-to-date) and from different company files into one report. Available Combined Reports are Balance Sheet Standard, Balance Sheet Summary, Profit & Loss Standard, Statement of Cash Flows and Trial Balance.

This functionality is especially useful for parent companies and head offices that wish to combine data from subsidiaries, divisions or branches.

Requirements: Excel 97 or higher, permission to create sensitive financial reports, and at least two QuickBooks company files.
