Brandon, MB––September 21, 2021: Performance issues has been a rising concern among QuickBooks users today. “This helps professionals determine if the slowness is affecting specific users or everyone on the whole, whether the slowness pertains to large reports or certain tasks such as payroll and whether the slowness occurs on certain computers, on certain files and at certain times during the day,” QuickBooks Repair Pro’s John Rocha said.
Indicators of a large file are reports that take 45 to 60 seconds to run, item list that has reached 14,500 entries, QuickBooks database fragment is between 15 and 20. While there are no actual hard limits for the company file, performance may be impacted if the file is over 500mb for QuickBooks Pro and Premier, and 1.5GB for QuickBooks Enterprise, have more than 7 years’ worth of transactions, or are exceeding any of the list limits.
Some quick reminders to help QuickBooks run more efficiently would be turning off programs that are not in use, turning off as many Systems Processes as possible in Windows, using a dedicated computer to host the QuickBooks data file in a multi-user environment and setting user preferences to clear all open windows each time QuickBooks is exited. As the size of a file and the number of users grow, it becomes necessary to increase the functionality on the server used to host multi-user access to the file. According to experts, performance of QuickBooks Desktop strongly depends on much system memory (RAM) the server has.
Meanwhile, using the QuickBooks’ Clean up Company Data feature helps condense the past years data by replacing most of the transactions from the previous years by much smaller monthly journal entries. The ‘Clean up Company Data feature to remove all transactions’ will require users to manually recreate the opening balances for all accounts, starting from a certain date, including open invoices, open bills, inventory, bank accounts, etc.
