Been using Quickbooks since the mid 90's, my current version is 2005. QB for my business QB is extreme overkill; I have no employees, I don't use QB to write checks, etc. I don't use the program "correctly" at all, but how I do it has always worked for me. I've never never not once ever had a problem-- until today.
Which is estimated taxes day. And I had to pay a vendor bill. So I entered the bill, saved it. Then went to the 'pay bills' screen.
And there at the top of the list of bills to pay, is a bill to "Company AA", for $25.19, that was due 4/25/2013. The problem is, I haven't done business with "Company AA" in over 15 years, and, the amount, invoice number and all descriptions match a bill for "Company CO", which is one of my customers, and a vendor (I engrave parts for them that I buy from them)...
I did a company backup last Friday morning, and another backup Friday evening.
Friday morning's backup shows all is well, with the bill in question all correct, but the new bogus bill appears on the Friday evening backup. I've checked all the numbers and everything adds up fine, nothing else wrong that I can find.
It's no problem to call up the Friday morning version, then add the invoices, the one bill and bank deposit made since then, then re-backup and just move on. But why did QB do this in the first place? I have to wonder what else it might decide to scramble up on its own?
