I appreciate you for adding a post here in the Community, @Arlington1. 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can enter your accounts receivable balances through invoices. For now, gather the AR details from your old system, then track them to QuickBooks manually. I'm here to guide you on how.

1. Open your QBDT file.
2. Go to the Customers tab, then click on Create Invoices.
3. Select a customer's name from the Customer:Job dropdown, then fill in the information.
4. Save the transaction.

For more tips about the process, check out the instructions from this article: Create an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop.

When you're ready to close the AR balance or pay the invoice, use Receive Payments from the Customers tab. For an additional guide, open this link: Receive and process payments in QuickBooks Desktop.

Additionally, can learn more about the different ways in handling your AR or customer entries from this link: Get started with customer transaction workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.
