Episode Description from the Publisher

Alicia and Hector Garcia catch up on a full year of Intuit Enterprise Suite development, covering multi-entity consolidation with automatic eliminations, dimensions that now span every transaction (including a new AI dimension backfill for historical data), and construction features like WIP reporting, negative change orders, and AIA-style billing that now surpass QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. They also dig into what's coming next for manufacturing and inventory, including multiple units of measure, and run through the IES features that have already trickled down into QBO Advanced, like cost groups, project phases, and proposals.Sponsors:Intuit Accountants - http://uqb.promo/intuitPilot - http://uqb.promo/pilotKick.co - http://uqb.promo/kick(00:00) - Welcome and Setup (02:55) - What Is Enterprise Suite (08:11) - Pricing and User Limits (10:14) - Dimensions Deep Dive (11:26) - Multi Entity Consolidation (12:45) - Eliminations and Automation (16:59) - Chart of Accouants Control (19:28) - Construction Feature Leap (20:32) - WIP and Change Orders (21:33) - Permissions and Project KPIs (23:57) - AI Budget Imports (25:38) - AIA Billing and Roadmap (27:22) - Inventory and Manufacturing Push (31:45) - Nonprofit Future Plans (34:42) - August Dimension Updates (35:51) - AI Dimension Backfill (37:56) - Features Coming Downstream (38:24) - Cost Groups in Advanced (41:37) - Project Phases Pros Cons (43:59) - Proposals and E Signatures (45:58) - Calculated Fields and Orders (47:39) - Item Receipts Workflow (50:48) - Wrap Up and Next Recap (53:57) - Final Thoughts and Farewell LINKSAlicia’s Fall classes!
