Which Premier edition to install? RobertM 06-09-2007

I'm at a screen that gives me several choices for which
version of Premier to install. My situation is manufacturing
with direct retail. The choices listed are "manufacturing
with wholesale", or "retail". Since my business encompasses
both, which one should I choose. Will I have to buy yet
another version and how will they tie together?

I would go to this page:
http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting_software/premier_edition_financial_planning_tools.jhtml

and look at the Retail vs Manufacturing & Wholesale versions. Run the
product comparison. Alot of the differences btw the 2 versions are report
related so it may not matter which version you get. Another thought would be
to select the Accountant's version because it offers more features plus you
can "toggle" between versions.

        In the end I installed the generic business version and it
appears to give me everything I need. I am getting better at
side-stepping Intuit's spam and was able to avoid installing
most of it. I've learned not to accept anyone's normal &
usual install. Always pick advanced and then choose what you
want and don't want. It all seems to be working ok and while
it wasn't an easy install, it wasn't nearly as bad as it
could have been. Total download and install time, nine hours.

Thanks for your assistance,
Bob

9 hours? holy cow. You have a lot of patience. I would have given up after
an hour or 2. Good luck.
