Ever wondered what the QuickBooks Document Center is used for? Wondered how you could get the Document Center to work for you?  Our QuickBooks Document Center Repair gives you a deep understanding of the benefits of the tool and how you can work around it.

What is QuickBooks Doc Center?

QuickBooks hosts a central space for documents that you deem important. It contains a host of tools that you would find beneficial to work with your documents, and that will enable you to:

• Add them by browsing through your storage device or scanning them in directly,
• Search for them, and,
• Either remove or detach them.

The Doc Center helps manage documents related to your vendors, customers, employees and other transactions in one place.  For example, if you are opening up documents in Word all the time to review information while you are in QuickBooks, or you have contracts to look at, you can add these documents to the Doc Center in QuickBooks.

It’s not difficult to work with documents in QuickBooks, but for those not too acquainted with the process, this simple walk-through will demonstrate how you can get the tool to work for you.

To get started, we can use an example of a price list. If there is a price list you often work with, click the Add icon.

This opens up a window that contains a directory of all of the folders and files on your PC and any external storage areas.

Select the pricing document you created.

Attaching documents

You can add documents to the Doc Center by attaching them to transactions, customers, accounts, etc. You can also click the attach button to attach a documents to a transaction.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to attach documents to a Seller

1. From the menu bar click on Sellers-Seller Center.
2. Click once on the Seller name to bring up the Seller Information window.
3. To attach a document click on the attach button.
4. At the Attach From: click on Doc Center.
5. Click on document name – click on Attach– click on Done
6. The attach button (paperclip) changes to show a document is attached.

Almost every page in QuickBooks has an "Attach" or "Attach File" icon.

To manage the files from a central location, open the Document Center from the Company menu.

Common issues with Doc Center

Here are some well-known issues with attaching documents in the Doc Center:

Attached Documents are missing after changing file name or location

 When using QuickBooks Attached Documents to attach documents, an Attach folder is created and stored in the same location as the QuickBooks company file. Renaming or moving the company file to a different location will break the connection between the Attached Documents and company file.

• Problems scanning or attaching documents

Another common reported issue is when you are trying to scan or attach documents from your Doc Centre to your company file's transactions, customers, accounts, etc., and nothing seems to be happening.

• Unable to email transactions or send forms

When using QuickBooks email as Send Forms preference, the option to select email transaction and attachments is greyed out.
