Other News: It appears that the ability to retrieve the number of Federal Withholding Allowances from the QuickBooks Employee Record, as well as the ability to work with Payroll Items which are Additions, Deductions and Company Contributions in the new release of Intuit's SDK (Software Development Kits), which we use to write the CPS program, is still not available. We respectfully ask all Certified Payroll Solution and Wage Manager Solution users to sign our petition to Intuit requesting that they add this ability to the SDK so that we may have access to these items so that you do not have to re-enter that information into CPS in order for it to appear on your certified payroll reports.
Just to clarify the above statement, we are NOT looking to sue Intuit (as some people thought in our last request and reported it as such to Intuit). Rather we are submitting a petition to request additional functionality be added to their Software Development Kit.
If you are interested in signing our petition, start CPS, go to the Help menu, choose About, click the "Login to" button and look for the section on the right titled Help us get more data from QuickBooks and click the button that says Sign Petition to Intuit. Taking 5 minutes of your time today, will eliminate the need for duplicate data entry on your part in the future. |
