Moving from Quickbooks Desktop to Quickbooks Online - Inventory Error

Hi, @AboutYH.

I can share some details about changing or editing the account type for your inventory items in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), so you can move your data to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You can use the Add/Edit Multiple List Entries feature in QBDT to change the account type for your inventory items at once. This way, you don't have to edit them individually.

Here's how to do it:

1. In QBDT, go to the Lists menu at the top.
2. Choose Add/Edit Multiple List Entries.
3. Pick the inventory type in the List drop-down.
4. Enter the necessary changes in the Asset Account column.
5. Highlight the new account, and right-click on it. Then, select Copy Down.
6. Click Save Changes.

Once done, you can now proceed with moving your data from QBDT to QBO. You can refer to these articles for further guidance:
