Hi,

I am all new to this having started a commision sales and consulting home operated business this year and i have been using Acess to do mt invoicing and tracking, however i descided to get an accounting package. I did downlooad the frree trial 2008 off the web and strugg;ed but figures at 140.00 fo the program what the heck si o bought 2009 Pro without payrole.

I have some issues:

1 - In 2008 trial i was allowed to pich the invoicing format is contractor / retail / or professional when i went to make an invoice now in 2009 Pro I cannot do that, any answeres???

2 - In 2008 there was a place where i could bring uo a time and expense ticket and now in 2009 Pro that is not there.

3 - Is there a way that i canj make an invoice that will calculate out a total based on a set commission likie i input a sale value of 100.000.00 and it will creat an invoice for a % like 5% or 6% depending on the product i am carrying??

4 - does simply accounting track expenses for travel on a weekly basis and allow me to allocat those expenses to a project or sales trip.

5 - How do i get to input project details and then invoice off that set project in a professional manner.

Yes i know lots of questions but I am sure there is a welth of answers out there

Thanks

 All the things you had in simply 2008 pro  are available in simply 2009premium. The cost of it is 299.99.

The version you have doesn't do the things that the 2008 pro did. as the 2008 pr0 is now 2009 premium.

questions #3

 No there is no way to do that .

question #4 you can track all your expenses as you enter your payables  and post them to certain projects. Then if you need a report on a specific week that is when you would specify the period.  If your expenses are  done via a credit card the issue you will have is that the expenses are not done weekly since you only enter a credit card monthly when you get your statement.  If they are done via cash then no problem you would enter the expenses as they occur.

The project detail would give you the income and expense report.  You could print the summary report and then type up your sales invoice based on the figures.
