I apologize but we do not offer that. But what we suggest in your case if you still want to proceed in moving desktop data to online you can export your online data and import it back once your done the migration.

data Conversion

Hello dtyler1229,

 

It's important you're able to migrate your data with with ease and I'll be happy to point you towards the right direction. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps you streamline your accounting. 

 

I see you've already reached out about this to our support team and the info that was provided to you in the thread above is correct. However, if you're looking for more extensive methods of migrating your data I suggest looking into third-party data migration app on our app store www.apps.com (QB Online) and desktop.apps.com (QuickBooks Desktop). The apps provide a wider range of migrating options that help simplify the migration process. 

 

You're more than welcome to ask other questions in the comments below. I'll be a message away.

It looks like you only need to merge some data from your QBD file (e.g A/P, expenses, Bank Recons) to your QBO account, correct? You can buy a 3rd party migration service or use a migration tool (.i.e TP Exporter for Desktop and TP Importer for Online).
