Migration from Desktop to Online A/R cash receipts not migrating

Hi scott-bernstein,

Welcome to Community!  It's great to hear that you've chosen to migrate your data from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.  I'd be happy to assist!

It's important to check your targets and follow all preliminary steps prior to converting your data.  If your total targets exceeds the limitation, you'd need to send your file to our Data Migration Team for assistance with the conversion.  Some lists and reports won't convert due to differences in product features and any item receipts will be converted as bills.  With regards to your settings, to automatically apply payments, it'll only apply to new transactions and won't record on historical ones.  Therefore, you'd need to manually enter the payments.  For more information regarding what to expect when moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, follow this link.

For your reference, please review this article that guides you through the migration process and what to expect.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach back out.  We'd be happy to help!

Hi Trish,

Thanks for the quick reply but this was not helpful. It appears cash receipts not migrating over is a known but unresolved issue. It is just too big an issue to resolve manually. I looked at the Data Migration Team link but it points to doing the migration ourselves, which I did with the assistance of support. If there is no other solution than to manually enter over 19,400 cash receipts spanning over 8 years, QB Online is not the solution for us. It seems so out of logical thinking that this issue still exists and that manual entry is the best Intuit can do. I cannot be the first one to have so many cash receipts that did not migrate over.
