Solution 5: Create/build the Network Data (.ND) file(s)
For information, we would like to inform you that Network Data (.nd) file is a type of QuickBooks file that stores or keeps all the data/information of the host computer that contains QuickBooks company files.

You need to first open QuickBooks on one of the workstations.
Avoid opening the company file. Rather choose the file menu and then hover over utilities.
The next step is to head to the next workstation, in case you see the host multi-user access option.

In this month, Intuit released the upgrades and features with QuickBooks 2019. Check out the list of the standard upgrades below:
✔ Switch to a different computer
One of the prominent features that Intuit QuickBooks 2019 contains is – that the QB user can transfer all the QuickBooks programs and files to another computer. All you require to do that is the old computer, a good internet connection, a new computer, and a USB flash drive.
✔ Advanced Backup System
We cannot be sure that technology will support us all the time and that it will not fail. In such a scenario, we have to confirm that the information stored in a device is safely stored. Hence, Intuit has introduced an advanced and enhanced Data Protection system so that the QB user can create the backup and receive its confirmation email.
✔ Enhanced Sick & Vacation Time Tracking
The previous versions of QuickBooks were unable to ensure that overpay on the sick or vacation time to your employees. For the reason that QuickBooks 2019 has features that give you a notification or warning message when an employee goes over their sick or vacation pay limit. It also allows the user to see the left time on the employee’s pay stub to inform the employee about their sick or vacation time status.
✔ Invoice History
QuickBooks Desktop 2019 has a feature to check out the invoice history in one place without clicking on different places in your account. You can see the invoice creation date and time, customer view time, payment completion date & time, and others. QuickBooks 2019 has an easier way to track the status of an invoice. You need to simply open an invoice and check the see history link. This will show up in the invoice history window and a status flow.
✔ Inventory Tracking
The advanced inventory tracking system in the QuickBooks 2019 is also a big hit feature. It allows the QB user to keep track of the inactive inventory. It counts the entire inventory as inventory total no matter if some of the inventory had been taken out of circulation. This upgraded feature allows you to mark the inventory as inactive no matter if you still have some units available. By doing this, when you take a look at the Inventory Valuation Summary – the inactive inventory will appear highlighted in yellow.
✔ Bill Pay Default
It could be possible that mistakenly QuickBooks makes double payments for a single transaction while paying the bills. Possibly, QuickBooks users write a check to pay a bill & forget to make an entry in the Pay Bills to reflect the payment. There is a huge chance that you think that you haven’t paid that bill. In QuickBooks 2019, while putting a vendor name onto the check, it reflects all the unpaid bills related to that vendor.
✔ User Permissions Warning
The QuickBooks Admin will always receive a permission alert while assigning any job or role to any additional users. Once the Admin allows the additional user, the additional user can access QuickBooks.
✔ Improved Sales Order Worksheet
In QuickBooks 2019, go to the sales order dashboard to see the number of sales orders, picked orders, packed orders, shipped orders, and open orders. It also allows the user to make modification in multiple orders in just one click by using the batch feature. The QuickBooks pro 2019 desktop user can pack & print the shipping label right from the account.
✔ Easy Upgrades
The QuickBooks 2019 software upgrades are streamlined in 2 simple click options. The user just has to click on Update, and an auto-save feature will create a backup of the company files so that nothing will be lost in the middle of a transfer. In the latest released 2019 version, you don’t have to search for your company files as they will be waiting for you to open them for the first time. You can update QuickBooks desktop 2019 to the latest release by simply carrying out the necessary steps.
✔ Credit Transfers
QuickBooks Desktop 2019 has an amazing feature with which you can transfer the credit between multiple jobs/tasks for a specific customer & there is no need to create separate credit for every single job. To perform this, you have to use the Credit Transfer charts in your accounts. Intuit QuickBooks makes this feature unable or inactive with the purpose that no one would accidentally use this feature for some other tasks. There is only one potential problem that could occur – that the user cannot undo the transfer once you complete the transfer process.
QuickBooks Online is most likely to be compared with the QuickBooks pro 2019 or Premier. This is because the features present in the QB 2019 already exist in QuickBooks Online (QBO). In general terms, QuickBooks Enterprise has a lot of features that QuickBooks Online does not have.
Benefits of cloud QB cloud over the desktop applications
Below are some of the benefits of using the QuickBooks cloud application over a desktop application.

With this application, you can log into your QuickBooks account remotely from any device that has an internet connection such as a Desktop, laptop, cell phone, or iPad. A desktop version allows you to use QuickBooks only on the device where it is installed.
✔ Multiple users
QuickBooks Desktop allows the user to provide access to a limited number of users but not simultaneously for the same program/file. Furthermore, the Cloud-based desktop application enables the admin to provide access to an unlimited number of users simultaneously. Also, multiple users can access the same QB program/file at the same time. Moreover, it is more safe, secure, and effective to send sensitive company data via email or USB drive.
✔ Quick Updates

No hacker can access your information and data as the connections are highly secured & encrypted.
You don’t even need to worry about the device from which you access the QuickBooks accounts if it gets stolen. All you have to do is remember the login information such as username, password, and registered email ID.
