Intuit has issued Release 11 (R11) for the QuickBooks 2017 Desktop product line. The following changes, improvements and fixes were included in this release for QuickBooks Pro 2017, QuickBooks Premier 2017, QuickBooks Accountant 2017 and QuickBooks Enterprise v17.0. The release includes improved messaging and fixes for common error scenarios in Bank Feeds, and provides troubleshooting and error fixes for saving forms as PDFs or when printing them.
- Bank Feeds - Users experienced issues with dates not changing when they were edited within the Bank Feed window. This release reportedly fixes issues with Online Bill Payment dates not updating as expected when edited on the fly from within the Bank Feed window.
- Email - This release provides better messaging (providing clearer instructions) for setting-up email within QuickBooks.
- Errors - Some users have been confused by messages related to operational issues (like a subscription lapse) within QuickBooks. This release provides improved (more meaningful) messaging for selected errors intended to provide a clear call to action for customers.
- Forms & PDF - Users continue to experience issues when either creating a PDF from a transaction or printing. This release provides a new Troubleshoot button available to users encountering error messages when PDF/Print issues occur, the button will evoke running of the Print/PDF Repair Tool.
- Invoices - Many users have experienced issues in which QuickBooks freezes up when they attempt to open an Invoice form (especially if there is history for the invoice or customer). This release reportedly provides improved stability of invoice forms and prevents freezing of QuickBooks on computers with Microsoft Outlook installed.
The release is available for 'manual download' from the QuickBooks Downloads and Updates website. It will start being pushed out over the 'automatic updates' downloads shortly.
For the most part these are 'fixes' to problems that have either been identified, or which have arisen in connection with other software or 3rd-party-component changes. If you have experienced any of these issues you may wish to update to this newest release version. If you haven't experienced any of these issues you may wish to hold-off to see if there are any issues that arise out of this maintenance update.
