New in the QuickBooks 2011 editions is a wonderful little change to the closing date password logic. Now it is possible to exclude the non-GL portions of the books from the closing date password. That means that estimates, sales orders and purchase orders could be changed after the closing date. I'm sure the sales department and the purchasing department will enjoy the changes.

This is a small but cool reason to upgrade to the latest QuickBooks version.  The 2011 versions have begun to ship, so any new purchases of QuickBooks will ship with 2011 editions.  Watch this blog for more details on the new editions of QuickBooks!
