Start a new QuickBooks company file by clicking File - New Company... at the top menu bar. The Interview screen then appears, prompting the user to enter some basic information to simplify the file creation process. The following screens are part of the interview process. Only those screens relevant to the Amigo Pos QBI are shown. Amigo Pos can work with blank company files that contain no items and few, if any accounts. To create a blank company file, click the Skip Interview button, specify the organization type and the company file is created with no items and few accounts.
