Intuit is starting to announce the features that are available in QuickBooks 2010. The first two announced features are a Documentation Management program and Rapid List Entry/Edit.I have a preliminary copy of the program and I have a longer list of features, but I’m not allowed to talk about things until Intuit announces them. Keep your eye on this blog for more information as it is announced!
Documentation Management
When you create an invoice do you have a customer PO? Would you like to be able to see that document when you go back to look at the invoice? Use a Document Management System to “attach” documents to transactions in QuickBooks. Please note that this is expected to be an added fee service that you subscribe to (fees haven’t been announced at this time).
There are a number of these kinds of programs that work with QuickBooks, but this is the first one that Intuit is providing (well, not the first, they had one a year ago but withdrew it from the market very quickly). To use the Intuit version you must have QuickBooks 2010. This will compete with products like PaperSave Plus (reviewed here) and SmartVault (which I reviewed here).
There are some very interesting features here, but also a few things that I think need to be improved on. Note that this will store your documents offline (like SmartVault), rather than on your computer like (PaperSave Plus).
Rapid List Entry/Edit
This is a method of entering a large number of records to certain lists in QuickBooks. You have a spreadsheet-like form that lets you enter information directly, rather than one “edit” window at a time. This can replace Excel imports in many cases. Initially this will support customers, vendors, service items, inventory parts and non-inventory parts. Superior data entry and error checking features when compared to the Excel imports.
More coming soon, as Intuit releases information!
