Use QuickBooks for Multiple Users and Single User Simultaneously

QuickBooks Multi User Mode

Despite having several employees using QuickBooks in your organization, you may still have the need to access only a single computer and a single copy of QB. A requirement like this may take place any time especially in a small scale company. Keeping this requirement in mind, the official Intuit team has allowed access to simultaneous access of QuickBooks for Multiple Users. This means you can use the accounting tool both in the single-mode as well as the multi-user mode simultaneously.

In order to proceed with this, you first need to set up the multi-user mode. After that, you have to install QB once again on a separate computer system.

You need to give the following commands to the QB software if you wish to access the accounting tool in multi-user mode simultaneously: -

•               Go to the File Menu and Click on the Multi-user mode button

•               You may click on it again if you want to switch to the single user mode again.

The function exists in QuickBooks due to an advanced technology known as record locking. In this technology, all the files and records that you are working on are locked except the primary company file. So, in case you wish to work with company A and some other user has to deal with company B, you both can do it easily. The issue that may take place is both of you cannot work on the same company at the same time. This would mean that you and the other user are working on the same customer record. QB does not allow that.
