Hi QF Steve.
In the case of dividing one invoice across two or more tabs, could you not simply manually annotate the invoice with the tab names and relevant ratio, then enter the appropriate portion of the cost to one tab, and then separately the remainder to the other tab? Creating two separate entries from one invoice?
I am new to Qickfile and indeed commercial accounting software in general, having relied on MS Excel for many years. I have yet to be convinced of the benefits of inflexible commercial packages over Excel even though the latter is now ancient and has many spreadsheet competitors that may well be better still.
I might be less skeptical if you could explain what mathematical cross checking systems are incorporated into Quickfile. (I have set up several within my Excel accounts, which have the advantage of being much more transparent. Whereas Quickfile’s calculations seem to be totally opaque.)
Presumably Quickfile will be undergoing significant upgrading to cope with Income Tax as well as VAT before HMRC’s ‘Making Tax Digital’ becomes compulsory for income tax as well. Perhaps then multiple business enterprises and projects will become catered for, as many of the self-employed must have multiple enterprises to make ends meet.
