Manufacturing in QuickBooks Assembly Items

by

CIAS QuickBooks

Many people see this assembly item type in their item list in QuickBooks but few realize how they actually work. Assembly items are generally used by Manufacturers or anyone that needs to put multiple parts together to sell a finished product. Let s talk a little bit on how to set something like this up.

First, if you haven t done so already, you need to turn on the preference that enables Inventory. To do this, go to Edit>Preferences>Items & Inventory>Company Preferences and check the box that says Inventory and Purchase Orders are Active. Click Ok. Now, when you go into your Item list, you will see that you have some new options of item type. One of which includes Inventory Assembly.

Every item that is a component of your finished product must be in the item list. Keep in mind that the components can be any type of item so be sure to include any labor time (service), extra costs (other charge), etc. The finished product will be the Assembly. Once you have all your individual component items setup in QuickBooks, then it s time to create the Inventory Assembly item.

Go to the Item button at the bottom of the item list and choose new. In the item type box, choose Inventory Assembly. Create item by entering the finished product name, cost, COGS Account, Description, Sales price, Tax code and Income Account. Then you need to create your Bill of Materials. This is a listing of all the component items and quantities that make up this one assembly item. Choose each item and quantity in the Bill of Materials Box. Once you have everything entered, click ok.

Now you will see your Assembly item in your item list but the On Hand Quantity will be zero. Just like Inventory Items, just because you create the item in the list, it doesn t mean that you have told the system how many you actually have. With assembly items, you actually have to go into a different screen to tell the system when it is time to actually build the finished product. To do this, go into Vendors>Inventory Activities>Build Assemblies. In this screen, you choose the finished product that you want to build.

Down at the bottom right,

QuickBooks software

will tell you how many you are able to build based on the on-hand quantities of the individual parts. In the box, enter in the amount of finished products you want to build and click Build & Close. Once you have done this, QuickBooks will pull out of inventory all the proper quantities of the individual parts and increase the quantity of the finished product based on how many you told it to build.

We offer a full range of

business accounting software

. We specialize in set-up, clean-up, and disaster recovery of accounting software systems. Whether you need QuickBooks recovery, QuickBooks payroll, QuickBooks inventory or any other QuickBooks software, CIAS provides the best service.

Fall ’08 styles at New York Fashion Week: the ’70s are back

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Tuesday, February 5, 2008

The fourth day of New York Fashion Week debuted few daring designs even from designers known for such work. With few exceptions, the overwhelming theme was “old is new” and that the ’70s were even more in fashion than the shows on Sunday suggested. Among the designers to unveil their Fall 2008 lines on Monday were Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Proenza Schouler and a rejuvenated Halston line, under the direction of designer Marco Zanini.

Both global warming and the slowing economy have been cited as reasons for the overwhelming use of lighter fabrics over heavier attire. Also, retro designs and continuing trends have been used in effort to save money, like the tights that were expected to go out of fashion this year. Even in the glamorous world of high-end fashion, money has been tight, and with the world economies in a collective downturn, major designers have been more wary of continuing to churn out the stream of couture designs that past Fashion Weeks have seen.

Proenza Schouler’s show took the ’70s retro theme to a fever pitch, liberally using bows on designs and debuting more retro-era wide-legged pants that were first seen in Sunday’s shows. Zanini’s Halston label also brought back the ’70s, resurrecting old designs that the founder of the line made famous. Since the designer Halston’s death in 1990, many designers have tried to take the label in different directions. Zanini’s unveiling on Monday brought the line back to its Studio 54 roots, while using trenchcoats, sheer fabrics, and cardigans to finish the ensembles with a modern twist.

Betsey Johnson also debuted old and new styles on Monday, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her fashion label. Copies of her original 1978 one-piece bathing suit as well as some early 1980s fashions started off the show. Her new pieces, such as animal print leggings coupled with a short twill jacket, were perceived as very skintight and criticized for not representing more fuller figures. Johnson brushed off the criticism, noting, “It’s tighter and sexier, but I still believe the girl brings the sex to the clothes…You won’t look sexy in a tight, below-the-knee skirt if you don’t feel good in it.”

The lone daring designer for the day was Carolina Herrera, who discarded the furs she promoted in the Fall 2007 show to focus on a Peter Pan theme, with earth tones and bird feathers. To further the “flying Peter Pan” motif, models donned such designs as a chiffon dress with ostrich feathers and a taffeta gown with a feather waistband.

Oscar de la Renta opted for more traditional blacks, golds and grays, debuting lines for men and women in fabrics he is familiar with. Men were outfitted in tweed while women were fitted in dresses that experimented with embroidery and tulle, both shades of past collections.

New York Fashion Week runs until Friday. Among others, labels Badgley Mischka, Diesel, and Vivienne Tam unveil their newest collections on Tuesday.

Top Traits Of Successful Investors

Author:  |  Category: Dance

Submitted by: Gavin McMaster

Below is a list of the top traits of successful investors and options traders.

They Are Properly Capitalized – A very easy mistake for beginner traders is not being properly capitalized. Beginners see the leverage option trading offers and think they can turn $1,000 into $10,000 in a matter of weeks. Before long, a couple of losing trades have completely wiped out their capital.

They Have A Low Tolerance For Risk – Successful option traders also have a low appetite for risk. The best traders will only trade when there is a low risk high reward scenario. They like to have the odds skewed in their favor as far as possible. The best option traders will not try to hit home runs with every trade.

Trades Only When The Market Provides An Opportunity – One quality all great traders have is patience. Successful investors will only enter into trades when the odds are stacked in their favor. They would much rather be the house rather than the average guy on the street trying to win big. They are focused on the bigger picture and are willing to wait and have the patience to only trade when the right opportunity presents itself. Some of the best traders often talk about sitting idle and just watching the markets, waiting for the perfect time to make a trade. Beginner investors find it difficult to not trade and are enthralled by all the green and red numbers on their screen and feel like they are missing out on the action.

They Have A Trading Plan – Before opening an account, everyone needs to have a trading plan. This shouldn’t just be in your head either, you need to write it down! By writing it down, it is distinctly defined and you can refer back to it at any moment. It will also seem more real if you write it down and you’ll be much more likely to abide by it. In order to be successful you need to have a plan and think things through rather than just flying by the seat of your pants.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhY67u3QfXc[/youtube]

They Have A Risk Management Plan – Only trade with what you can afford, don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose. Trade conservatively, rather than think of what you can make, every time you place a trade, think about the worst case scenario. What you could lose and how you are going to handle the position if things go badly? Amateur traders have trouble getting a grip on how much to risk on each trade. When starting out you shouldn’t have 90% of your capital tied up in one trade. Another good risk management rule is to set a fixed percentage of you capital as your risk per trade. A common approach would be to set 5% as the maximum capital to risk per trade, but for beginners you could make that even lower. Once a trade is placed you need to be vigilant at monitor risk levels, you can’t just have a set and forget policy, you have to stay focused on your positions and your total portfolio risk. Having a risk management plan is crucial to success as a trader and something that should be done before you start trading.

They Can Control Emotions – Options trading is an incredibly emotional experience and one that you cannot fully realize until you have your own hard earned money at risk. The great traders are able to control their emotions not just when times are bad, but more importantly when times are good. The best traders can keep their ego out of the equation and stay grounded even in the midst of fantastic winning periods. In addition, when one of their trades turns out to be a loser, they are able to admit they were wrong and close out the trade. The best traders never get attached to a trade or a certain stock. A bad trade could turn out to ok, but sticking to your pre-defined trading rules is critical. You should always stick to your trading rules and keep your emotions out of it.

They Are Incredibly Disciplined – Successful investing takes a great deal of discipline. Amateur traders may find it very difficult to just sit and wait for a good opportunity to trade. Waiting for the right opportunities may mean you don’t trade for a few weeks, but trading out of boredom or excitement is one of the worst things you can do.

Having a money management and a risk management plan is one thing, but in order to be a great trader, you have to have the discipline to stick to it.

They Are Focused – For beginner options traders it is very easy to get carried away and become energized by all the green P&L numbers on their account screen. Keeping a level head is crucial. It can also be hard to stay focused when there is so much news on the markets and so many experts, each with a different opinion. The most important aspect is to stay focused on your goals, your trading strategy and your rules. Don’t try to copy someone else’s trades or go against your trading rules just because of something Jim Cramer said. Get to know yourself as a trader as well, if you find yourself losing focus, or getting too distracted and stressed with everything going on, it can be a wise move to close out all of your positions and take break for a while. Sometimes that is the best approach and will allow you to come back with a clear head, more relaxed and more focused.

They Are Committed – Options trading involves a great deal of commitment. Any time you have your own capital at risk, you should be aiming to get the most out of your investment strategies and controlling your risk. You need to be on top of your things all the time. When you stop paying attention to the market, you will get burned. You need to be staying abreast of the current news, market cycles and investment outlook. If you’re a beginner options trader and find you’re struggling with the commitment required to keep up to date with the market, or find you are suffering from information overload, there are many sites out there that provide great summaries of current market conditions.

They Have Back Tested Their Strategy – Backtesting is a key part of establishing your options trading plan. This involves checking your trading strategy against the market to check the past performance. The average investor may not have the capabilities to run these calculations on their own but there are a number of software providers out there that will be able to perform backtesting. Most brokers such as TD Ameritrade have backtesting software that is free to account holders. Backtesting allows you to evaluate the pros and cons of your strategy and also provides scope for improvement or alteration of your strategy. However, a few things to consider are:

* Make sure you are using an appropriate time period

* Take into account sectors

* Take into account commissions

* Past performance may not be a good guide to the future

2012 Report on Gender Equality and Development says US women have room for progress

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Friday, September 27, 2013

Tuesday, World Bank released the 2012 World Development Report on Gender Equality and Development. The United States is referred to many times, often as a benchmark to foster understanding of recent gains for women in other parts of the globe. At the same time, United States women still lag behind US men in a number of areas.

In 2012, the authors note women in the United States still face challenges economically and socially. They are represented disproportionately in certain professions like teaching and nursing. They are paid less than their male counterparts. Jobs traditionally held by women also result in lower wages for men who hold these jobs. They are under-represented at the highest level of business, with only 28 of Fortune 1000 companies having a female chief executive officer. The bottom 20% of women economically have a slightly higher birth rate than their peers in the top 20%.

Immigrants to the United States from Southeast Asia and India have higher than expected male to female birth ratios, which the report authors suggest is partially deliberate sex selection based on cultural attitudes from home countries. In 2009, over half a million US women were victims of intimate partner violence. The report suggests US men have greater pension assets than US women. When compared to elderly US men, elderly women in the United States are more likely to live alone than with a spouse. US women are disproportionately under-represented in local police forces, accounting for less than 20% of all police officers. Women in the United States also bear a higher percentage of housework duties than men at 61%. When US women take part time work while raising children, they find it difficult to use that work experience to gain future full time employment. US women are disincentivized from re-entering the workforce after giving birth because of the high cost of childcare.

Many of the gains for United States women took place a while ago and took a long time to get. It took 40 years, 1870–1910, to see major improvements in the percentage of girls aged 6 to 12 attending school. In 1921, after women got the right to vote in the United States, the United States Congress passed the Promotion of the Welfare and Hygiene of Maternity and Infancy Act. This assisted in lowering infant mortality from 23% to 15%.

The report says affirmative action in the United States resulted in jobs transferring from men to women, but the authors hedged and did not draw a conclusion about the economic impact of these legislative efforts other than to say the impact was not negative.

Many of the legislative victories for United States women came early compared to developing countries. Property rights for women, while later than some of their European counterparts like Norway and the United Kingdom, started to come by 1848. That year, the Married Women’s Property Act was passed in New York. It was the first legislation of its kind in the country. Other states soon followed. Women got suffrage on a state-by-state level in the country until they got federal suffrage in 1920. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 barred discrimination against women and allowed married women to make loans without their husband’s consent. In 1980, airlines were barred from discriminating against flight attendances for their marital status during the hiring and firing stage.

The number of United States respondents agreeing with the proposition “a university education is more important for a boy than for a girl” decreased from about 14% in the period between 1994 and 1999 to about about 9% in the period between 2005 and 2007. Similarly, the number of people who agreed with “when jobs are scarce, men should have more right to a job than women” decreased from 19% to about 8% over the same period.

The report cites current research from the United States and England showing the more education a mother has, the better the outcomes for her children will be.

Currently in the United States, females academically outperform their male counterparts in all academic areas including [[mathematics|math] and science. On the Programme for International Student Assessment math test though, US boys tested better than US girls by a score of roughly 495 to 480. US girls outperform boys on the literacy test with mean scores of approximately 510 to 490. In this regard, the report suggests US girls’ performance patterns resemble global ones.

Mali’s percentage of girls in primary school is equivalent to the United States in 1810 at around 34%. Burkino Faso is worse, matching the United States in 1780 with a percentage of roughly 25%. Niger’s current enrollment for girls is around 50%, around the same percentage as the United States in 1900.

They are cheap, useful, and very plentiful, and that is exactly the problem, according to researchers. A report issued on Feb. 23 by a cadre of environment and economics researchers suggested that Kenya should ban the common plastic bag that one gets at the checkout counter of grocery stores, and place a levy on other plastic bags, all to combat the country’s environmental problems stemming from the bags’ popularity.

Micro-loans to US poor from Bangladesh’s Grameen Bank

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Sunday, February 17, 2008

Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has made the first loans to U.S. citizens who do not have a bank account. Grameen Bank is experienced in micro-financing in its home country, lending money to poor women that want to start small businesses.

Since the start of the mortgage-crisis more people in the U.S. tend to turn to fringe financial institutions bypassing the mainstream bank institutes. “Now is a good time because of … the subprime crisis and that highlights the issue that the financial system is not perfect,” , says the bank’s founder and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. Grameen Bank started in 1976 by lending a total amount of $27.00 to 42 Bangladesh women. To date the bank has made over $6.5 billion in loans to 7 million people in Bangladesh.

Grameen Bank’s first loans of approximately $50,000.00 in total in the U.S. was to a group of women in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City. Garmeen Bank plans to offer $176 million in loans in New York City the next five years, and after that expanding into business as remittances and mortgages all over the U.S., as it has done in Bangladesh.

Linkin Park’s lead singer Chester Bennington dies at 41

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Saturday, July 22, 2017

On Thursday, Chester Bennington, lead singer of US rock band Linkin Park, died in his home in Los Angeles at the age of 41. The Los Angeles county coroner confirmed Bennington’s death; reportedly it was being investigated as a possible suicide.

A two-time Grammy award winner with the band, Chester Bennington joined Linkin Park when he was 23. Also featuring rapper Mike Shinoda, Linkin Park released their first album, Hybrid Theory, in 2000. The band went on to release six more albums featuring Bennington’s voice, including One More Light, which was released this year. The band was scheduled to go on a tour for One More Light, but it has been canceled.

Their song Crawling, from Hybrid Theory, won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. The band was also nominated for Best Rock Album and Best New Artist. A year after releasing Meteora, Linkin Park collaborated with rapper Jay-Z for the Collision Course EP in 2004 whose single Numb/Encore won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Meteora has sold more than 27 million copies, which featured the hit song Numb.

In his statement, Warner Bros. Records CEO Cameron Strang said, “Chester Bennington was an artist of extraordinary talent and charisma, and a human being with a huge heart and a caring soul.” The Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said, “We have lost a truly dynamic member of the music community”.

In 2013, Bennington performed at the MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert, whose aim was to aid addiction treatment. Born on March 20, 1976 in Phoenix, Arizona, to a nurse and a police detective, Bennington recounted being abused in his childhood, molested by an older friend over the course of several years starting when he was seven or eight. In a 2008 interview with Kerrang!, he said, “It destroyed my self-confidence […] Like most people, I was too afraid to say anything. I didn’t want people to think I was gay or that I was lying. It was a horrible experience.”

In an interview with Noisecreep in 2009, he said, “I don’t have a problem with people knowing that I had a drinking problem. That’s who I am, and I’m kind of lucky in a lot of ways because I get to do something about it.” Of the band’s Grammy-winning song Crawling, Bennington said the song was “about feeling like I had no control over myself in terms of drugs and alcohol.”

His first marriage ended in a divorce, and he said, “I knew that I had a drinking problem, a drug problem, and that parts of my personal life were crazy, but I didn’t realise how much that was affecting the people around me until I got a good dose of ‘Here’s-what-you’re-really-like.'” In 2011, he told The Guardian, “When I was young, getting beaten up and pretty much raped was no fun. No one wants that to happen to you and honestly, I don’t remember when it started […] My God, no wonder I became a drug addict. No wonder I just went completely insane for a little while.”

Bennington died on the day his singer friend Chris Cornell would have turned 53. Cornell hanged himself earlier this year. After Cornell’s death, Bennington said, “I can’t imagine a world without you in it.”

Bennington is survived by his six children and his wife, Talinda Bentley, whom he married in 2006.

Start Talking To A Divorce Attorney In Thiensville, Wi Early

Author:  |  Category: Tenders

byAlma Abell

If you suspect that your spouse wants a divorce, it can put you into a very difficult situation. On one hand, you may want to do everything possible to save your marriage and to stay together. Talking to a lawyer can seem like a sure way to communicate that you are giving up and are preparing for an ugly fight. Still, doing nothing could put you at a very serious disadvantage if it isn’t possible to save the marriage. Because of this, you should take steps to talk to a Divorce attorney Thiensville WI early on, even if you don’t want to advertise that fact and actually begin moving forward with the legal process.

When one member of a couple has decided that they want out of the relationship, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will communicate it clearly. People have been known to remain in a marriage for months, or even years, in an effort to maximize their own financial advantages. In some cases, people get to divorce court and discover that the spouse has hidden a lot of marital assets so that the court cannot even verify that they exist. When this happens, the other member of the couple can have a great deal of difficulty getting the as much of a share of the joint wealth as the law dictates is fair. View the site for more info.

You don’t have to go to a Divorce attorney Thiensville WI to talk about how to move forward with the actual divorce. If you want, you can just seek help on how to take steps to make sure that you are as well protected as possible in case it does happen. If you receive an inheritance, for example, a lawyer will often advise that it be carefully separated from the martial assets at all times. If you inherit money from your own parents and put it into a joint bank account, it immediately becomes a joint asset that will be split. If you instead open a brand new account that is in your name alone, and never mingle it with other money, it is very likely that a court will rule that it belongs only to you.

Seeking out some basic advice on what you can do to protect yourself can make a tremendous difference if your marriage does ultimately fall apart. You can get more information on how to arrange a consultation at Frakerfamilylaw.com.

Thought-controlled cybernetic arms demonstrated

Author:  |  Category: Uncategorized

Friday, September 15, 2006

Jesse Sullivan has two cybernetic arms, after electrical burns suffered while working as an electrical utility lineman resulted in amputation of both his arms at the shoulder. Claudia Mitchell has a similar cybernetic left arm, after a motorcycle accident resulted in amputation. Sullivan and Mitchell shook hands with these thought-controlled prosthetic arms at an event staged Thursday in Washington, D.C. by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Center for Artificial Limbs at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.

Unlike traditional prosthetic limbs, these are actuated through muscle reinnervation; nerves are grafted onto specific muscles, controlling their contraction, which are then detected by electrode sensors and control the prosthetic limb. “Basically it is connecting the dots. Finding the nerves. We have to free the nerves and see how far they reach,” says Dr. Todd Kuiken, developer of the prostheses and director of neuroengineering at the Rehabilitation Institute. By this chain of communication the prostheses utilize thought-controlled biomechanics. According to Sullivan, “When I use the new prosthesis I just do things. I don’t have to think about it … I do all the yard work. I take out the garbage.”

DARPA, as an agency of the United States Department of Defense, seeks to eventually provide such prostheses for soldiers losing their organic limbs in combat. “We’re excited about collaborating with the military,” said Kuiken. 411 U.S. troops in Iraq and 37 in Afghanistan have had wounds that cost them at least one limb according to the Army Medical Command.
