Editing New Company

Creating a new company file is easy in SME but first you must make sure that is what you want.
This article goes through when you need or do not need a new company file and how to do it.

== How to determine if you need a new company file ==
There are pros and cons of creating a new company file so this guide will help you determine if a separate company file is needed.
Possible Issues with new company file:
* Separate dispatch scheduling
* QuickBooks files must match one for one with SME company files so you need one and only one QuickBooks file for each SME company file.
* Separate set of lists of open orders, invoices and so on so more difficult to manage.
Here are reasons you would want a separate SME and QuickBooks files:
* You already have separate QB files and want to keep it that way.  In this case you will need a separate SME file for each QB file/company.
* Your business runs completely separate.  This could be geographically separate or just separate employees for each business.
Most other case should have just one SME and one QB company file.
