Glad to hear again from you, @tloesing.

 

I'd be delighted to share additional information on how you can record your vendors information in QuickBooks.

 

Since you only need your vendor information, you can download it from your old system and import it to QuickBooks using an Excel file. Importing your vendors  information from the old system will not affect any of your balances.

 

Here's how to import:

  1. Download you Vendor Information from your Old system.
  2. Open your QuickBooks Company file.
  3. Go to File.
  4. Choose Utilities.
  5. Select Import.
  6. Go to Excel Files.
  7. Click No if you are prompted with the Add/Edit Multiple List Entries window.
  8. Follow the on-screen instructions in importing file:
    1. Choose the Vendor.
    2. You should see a spreadsheet on your screen where you can enter y our Vendor information.
    3. Click Yes on the import prompt.
    4. Copy the information from your excel file to the Import Vendor spreadsheet.
    5. Review the copied information and resolved any error prompts.
    6. Hit Save and Add My Data Now.
    7. Locate your Vendor excel file.
    8. Click Add My Data Now.

I'd also recommend you create a back up  copy of your company file before  starting the importing process. By doing so, you'll have an intact file to access if you encounter any error while doing the importing.
