If QBO isn't actually saving or fully uploading you attachments I'd bet you have multiple QBO tabs open. I see this sometimes and but not others. I'll add an attachment it shows it's 100% but it's didn't change colors. I have to close all QBO tabs delete the failed attachments and reattach them.

Should we also be adding into quick books one-time and recurring monthly donations from individuals?

Do you recommend using Project to track grants? Also, does QBO allow for program by budget in order to run a report to compare budget vs. actual by program instead of the overall budget?

Great video!
Using QBO. How do you track a grant where your outflow is capitalized?
For example, you receive an unrestricted grant of $50, 000. Your non profit needs a new van. You purchase a van for $30, 000 how would you report on that?

If the nonprofit has multiple restricted grants (10+) and donations restricted to specific programs, how can I pull up a report at the end of each month to show the balance of unrestricted funds, and the balance of each restricted fund?

How are exactly are expenses pointed to grants as they are entered?
