Just a heads up for anyone new to quickbooks or at least new to QB Pro 08/09.

Payee aliasing, as described in the help file is not a feature that is support by the Australian version. The help file gives us a bum steer because it refers to the American version.
Don't go insane looking for the "turn payee aliasing on" option in preferences because you just wont find it.

There are some 3rd party programs available that can pre-process your bank statement files which you then import into quickbooks, but I haven't had much luck with them.


Also, unrelated to the above, I've noticed that attempting to enter a customer or supplier ABN when the country is already selected will return a "Invalid ABN" message.
Make sure there is nothing in the 'Country' box and you can enter the ABN without any dramas.
