QuickBooks 2013 R8 Released

Intuit released the QuickBooks 2013 R8 update earlier this month for U.S., Canadian and U.K. users. These QuickBooks updates from Intuit typically fix some bugs and, unfortunately, sometimes create new issues. That was the case with the R7 update but this latest QuickBooks update fixes the most egregious problems reported by Intuit’s customers. Fixes in the R8 release include the following:

1. Time entries on weekly timesheets that include a “Customer:Job” are now listed in alphabetical order by “Customer:Job” instead of by the order created.
2. Add-on products should now be able to access the QuickBooks database without crashing QuickBooks. This is a problem caused by the R7 release.
3. Add-on products should no longer show an error referring to missing XML components.
4. Billable time should now sort properly in the “Choose Billable Time” window. This is another problem caused by the R7 release.

If you haven’t upgraded to the R7 release and you’re not affected by the issues mentioned above, you may want to hold off on upgrading for a couple more weeks and see if customers are reporting problems with the R8 release. If you do upgrade, however, let us know if you run into any issues integrating ClickTime with our QuickBooks Connector.
