QuickBooks Pro/Premier 2013 Release 7 Still has problems with 3rd party apps
QuickBooks Pro/Premier 2013 Release 7 Still has problems with 3rd party apps. Initially, on 06/04/13 when Intuit released R7 as a manual update, it broke many 3rd party add-on apps.
A critical patch to the release with made available but only if you have auto-updates enabled (Help > Update QB > Options tab > Automatic Updates = “Yes”.
If you downloaded the R7 patch manually, turn on Automatic Updates and the critical patch should get installed. You can also click the “Update Now” from the “Overview” tab in the Update QuickBooks dialog.
How can you tell if the critical fix is installed? Press F2 to open the product info line. If the revision is “R7P+U(130606A)”, then you have the fix. If it is “R7P” by itself, or “R7P+U(121026B)”, you don’t have the critical fix.
The latest word is that there is still a problem for some 3rd party apps. If your 3rd party app is broken due to the R7 update, try the above steps. I f it is still broken after a computer restart, and your F2 screen shows “R7P+U(130606A), you are one of the lucky ones. A fix is still being investigated. There may be a manual fix that might work, check out:

If you are still affected, Charlie Russell’s blog would be a good place to keep checking back, as he, as a 3rd party developer is monitoring the situation closely.

8 Things VCs Think About When Valuing Your Startup
Transportation and Delivery Charges in South Dakota
A transportation company’s charge to deliver products is not subject to sales tax. A transportation company does not own the products they are transporting. They transport products owned or sold by their customer.
A retailer’s charge for delivery and handling of taxable products is subject to the same state and municipal sales tax as the product when delivered in South Dakota. If the product is not taxable, the delivery and handling charges are not taxable.
If both taxable and nontaxable products are in the same shipment, sales tax is due on the portion of the delivery charge for the taxable products. This is determined by using a percentage of the sales price of the taxable products compared to the total sales or weight
of the taxable products compared to the total weight of all property in the shipment.
If a retailer hires a transportation company and bills the customer for the transportation service, the retailer must include the transportation charges in their taxable receipts
