Was Computer poll

[David ilvedson]

Rob,

So what you have are three separate checking accounts at your 
bank for example the tuning business, refinishing and moving.  
In QBPro you have three checking accounts but they are all using 
the same chart of accounts.  So when you get income for moving a 
piano and deposit it in the moving checking account it goes 
under "piano moving income" in your chart of accounts or 
something to that effect.  When you deposit tuning receipts they 
go into the tuning checking account are "tuning income".  Right? 
When you pay for a new moving board it goes under moving 
expenses and when you buy piano wire it goes under shop supplies 
or such.  I don't see what the problem is...Can't you just make 
a report such as a profit/loss statement which will have all 
income listed regardless of where it came from and expenses 
likewise?  

Maybe I'm missing something?
