Keeping Historical Data From QBD UK

Hi Katie92, based on customer feedback we're extending the deadline of our QuickBooks Desktop discontinuation for all users until June 2023, during which you'll have access as usual to your Desktop product and to our customer support team. If you haven't already received this, we'll be sending out email communication in the coming weeks with further details. We'll also be sharing a second update on the 17th October 2022 to provide you with more details on the migration options, as well as how you can access your historical accounting data after the discontinuation. :)

@Katie92 

You may have 2 options:

1. Purchase a 3rd party service to convert your multi currency data to QB Online or another cloud based accounting app.

2. Purchase a one-time license for QB Desktop 2020 to open any archive file (e.g. QBW, QBB, QBM) created on QB Desktop 2020 or earlier.

Hi GeorgiaC, do you anticipate that by June 2023 Quickbooks will have improved their migration tool so that it will migrate multi-currency transactions from QBD UK to QBO UK?

Hi Katie92, this is not expected to support multicurrency; the new migration tool is to improve the quality of data and to increase the size of files that we can migrate. 🙇‍:female_sign:

It seems their engineers are still struggling to improve the ability to convert data files with Total Targets which is equivalent to the US version (i.e. 750K) or more. Otherwise, we are already allowed to purchase QBO Advanced via the website.

Georgia can you confirm this is the case that an extension to June 23 has been decided as can't trace any other reference to such on Intuit site?

Thanks
