You can contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA and they will share it.

I had the same result. Intuit migration support told me that the Quickbooks Desktop Migration Tool has not been maintained since 2021 and would not work any more. I've wasted a lot of my clietn's time by trying to do this according to Intuit's instructions. Migration Support pointed me at a third-party to do the conversion. They're a bit pricy and my client is a non-profit.

Hello @Kurt_M  . It appears that you may know of a way to make this migration from Online to Enterprise 2024 work. I just got off the phone with Migration Support and they told me that the Quickbooks. Desktop Migration Tool hasn't been maintained since 2021 and that failure is expected even though Intuit has articles online that indicate that it should work. I am getting a dialog indicating an Internal Error with the numbers 1009 at the upper left. When the resulting file is then opened in QB Enterprise it has no banking information, no customers, no vendors, no chart of accounts, no item list, and is basically empty.

@Steve_C1 

You should contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA for assistance. They can help to convert your data with a cheaper option.

Hello there, Steve.

There's an ongoing issue with the migration tool that triggers the 1009 error during the export process. Our engineers are working to resolve this as soon as possible. As a workaround, you can follow the steps provided below:

1. Log into your QBO account
2. On the landing page copy and paste this URL ( https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt ) into the address field of your web browser.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to prepare the file for download. If you haven't already, download the Migration Tool
4. Launch QuickBooks Desktop 2024, 2023, or 2022 (or your version, such as PP or ES).
5. Open the Migration Tool you downloaded.
6. Wait for an email stating file is ready to download
7. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to navigate to the export tool and follow the prompts to download the file.
8. Select QBXML file in Migration Tool. An error message should appear, click OK and the Migration Tool will close.

On the other hand, I still recommend contacting our phone support team so you will be added to the list of affected users.

Hello @MariaSoledadG I did follow all of those steps to no avail. I sopke with several people at Intuit support and was eventually passed on to Migration Support. They told me that the Migration Tool has not been maintained since 2021 and that it was unlikely to work at all with QB Enterprise 2024. I did find a work-around, but one that takes some time: Use the tool to migrate to QB Desktop Premier 2021. I then backed up the file and am now upgrading to Enterprise, then will upgrade to 2024 so that my client can use the data.

 Can I migrate from QuickBooks online to QuickBooks desktop?
