Today is the final entry in our coverage of the QuickBooks Preferences Accounting preference window. We will be covering the
final options in the
Company Preferences tab. Remember, to view these options, open QuickBooks Select Edit -> Preferences and click on the QuickBooks Preferences Accounting option, then select the Company Preferences tab.
- Date Warnings
- The date warning options are used to alert QuickBooks users if the transactions that they are trying to enter are too far in the past or the future. Setting this option is a good way to control how other users enter transactions into your company. You can set the options to show alerts for dates that are too far in the past, the future, or both.
- Closing Date
- Setting this option sets the date when QuickBooks will close the books on your company. After the books are closed, you can set a closing date password to limit who has access to the closed books. Only administrators can set the closing date password.
