I can help you export your data from your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to your QuickBooks Online (QBO Plus, Philip.

 

Please ensure that your Plus version is active and not more than 60 days old for successful data import. Once you confirm this, let's work together to achieve your goal.

 

Let's make sure first that your QBDT is up-to-date. Before making any changes, create a backup copy of your company file to prevent potential losses due to unforeseen circumstances. 

 

Additionally, let's utilize the Verify and Rebuild Data tool for a successful and seamless transition.

 

To begin, here's how to verify your company data:

 

  1. Proceed to the Window tab, then Close All.
  2. Click on File and select Utilities.
  3. Choose Verify Data. Hit OK.

 

After that, follow these steps to rebuild your company data:

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then choose Utilities.
  2. Select Rebuild Data. QuickBooks will prompt you to do a backup before rebuilding your company file. Pick OK.
  3. Save your backup, and OK.
  4. When the Rebuild has completed message appears, hit OK.

 

If you're using the Pro or Premier version, please follow these steps on how to export your company file:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu. Pick Export Your Company File to QuickBooks Online.
  2. Get Started. Sign in as an admin to your QBO company.
  3. Select Choose an online company, and choose which you want to replace with your company file.
  4. Continue once done.
