No matter the reason, sometimes it’s necessary to convert a QuickBooks Online company to QuickBooks Desktop. It’s not that converting a data file is hard – it’s just NEW to most of us. This article covers how to convert, what to look out for and the expected results of the conversion. The Good – My Thoughts About Converting It can be done! That’s the good news. But there's more. Most QuickBooks Online company files are simple files that only have one or two apps, which makes the conversion a few steps.
Because there are so many variances in a conversion, I'm going to focus on a typical QuickBooks Online data file, which you might want to note if you have a complex QuickBooks Online company or, if you only want to use parts of the QuickBooks Online data, such as customer, vendor and item lists. If so, exporting the lists to excel, and them importing them into QuickBooks Desktop might be the simplest way to proceed.
What to Watch Out For Before choosing to convert, there are a couple of differences to monitor. The way the programs are written and structured are different, which, in turn, means there are areas where features or data will not transfer over. I will point out a few notable areas. QuickBooks Online “Recurring Transaction” do not convert to QuickBooks Desktop “Memorized transactions;” Shared reports and Automatic emailed reports will not be saved or converted, along with Location tracking, possible loss of apps.

Even if your app has both a QuickBooks Online and a QuickBooks Desktop version, I'd recommend calling your apps to ask if they would convert and if there is a fee for conversion.

QBO 2 QBD - FIGURE 8 Once the conversion is complete, you can cancel your QBO subscription. Intuit will keep your QuickBooks Online data for one year after an active company file has been deleted. At any time the data file needs to be viewed again, the file can be activated.
With that said, if you're only using parts of the data, I'd create a QuickBooks Online general journal to Excel for purposes of an audit. Payroll details and Customer Notes do not transfer, so exporting these lists into Excel will allow you to copy these into your QuickBooks Desktop. You Can Do It Really you can. This is not a life challenging hurdle to cross. Getting to the other side will not be as hard as Anakin Skywalker’s conversion of the force.
If your clients have never used it before, they will need some training on how to use QuickBooks Desktop. Also, be sure and convert QuickBooks payments, so there is no interruption in payments abilities. You are ready to use the force. Tags by July 10, 2016 9:49 PM Comments (1).
