How do I edit a .QBO file to change the Credit Card Account that the transactions get imported to?

I appreciate the detailed information, Lithid. It made me understand your concern more. Let's go ahead and import the transactions.

Instead of downloading the QBO file of the main account, you'll have to download the file for each credit card account. This way, you can import the file to each individual account.

I'll add the reference to help you more about importing QBO files: Set up bank accounts for Bank Feeds in QuickBooks Desktop.

If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us again. We're one comment away. Take care!

Thank you for the reply, I wish the solution was that easy but unfortunately since all of our employees cards are under 1 master account, we can't get QBO files for each card. Their website only allows us to download transactions in one way and it doesn't let us select cards so it grabs every transaction from every card and does not separate them by card.

If it doesn't meet your needs, we will recommend another workaround.

Since we already paid a lot for Quickbooks Desktop we do not want to pay additional costs to get our data put into Quickbooks, thank you for the suggestion though.

Have there been any updates on how to do this?

I'll get into the details on the ability to edit the .QBO file when downloading your credit card transactions, @tabuccille.

As of now, we haven't received new updates about the availability of this feature. That said, the option to modify the .QBO file to change the account where transactions get imported is currently unavailable in the program. However, you'll want to download the file for each credit card account instead of the main one, as suggested by my colleague above.

In the meantime, I'd suggest submitting feedback to our product engineers. This way, they can review your suggestion and consider including it in our future product updates. Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Send Feedback Online.
2. Click the Product Suggestion option.
3. Enter your feature request and select the Send Feedback button.

Additionally, it's a good practice to reconcile your accounts monthly to ensure they correspond to your bank statements. Doing so guarantees that they are balanced and accurate.
