How do i import a QBW file into my on-line company file

I'm here to lend a hand with importing a .QBW file into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company file, @jtaylor-advanced.

To start, you'll need to open the .QBW file in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and import the file from there. If you no longer have a version of QBDT installed on your computer, or it's an older version, you can use the trial version.

To help you with the process, you can check the below articles for guidance in restoring the file and how to move your company to QBO:

• Restore a backup of your company file
• Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online

For future reference, I invite you to check this link which contains tutorials for the software: QuickBooks Tutorials since your importing to QBO. It can help to ensure that you get the most out of the software for your business. 

Let me know if you have additional questions when importing @jtaylor-advanced. I'll be here to answer it for you. Have a good day.

You need to purge your QBO account before converting your data from QB Desktop. Any specific concern?

Welcome to the Community, @bexMT42. I'd be glad to help you import a QBW file into your QBO company file.

I would agree with Fiat LUX - ASIA, we to purge your QBO account before converting data from QB Desktop. I'll show you how:

 

1. Log in to your QBO account.
2. Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. Delete all the text after the last/ and enter purgecompany.
3. The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
4. Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then hit OK.
5. Tap Wipe Data.
