URGENT-Migrating from QB Online to QB Desktop

I have had the same issue  and the online version sold does NOT support our "Intuit" Point of Sale machine even though I specifically told the sales person about us utilizing the Intuit POS and website for payments. We updated in May and have been unable to resolve this and today I had to buy another Intuit product - Desktop 2023. THEN I was told that Intuit will not migrate our information from Online to Desktop -even when it is an Intuit issue - totally stupid. So, I was sent 2 links in an email today from customer support - one for an online community from 2020 which discussing exporting and importing myself, no migration tool reference (dated info perhaps) and the other was supposed to be a "migration tool"  The Migration tool link produced a "Invalid Parameters Specified" site - I then searched for "desktop to online migration tool" and that takes me to https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt.  This is embedded in our Essentials Online product and I thought this was the solution.  THEN, the "Get Started" button is bright blue, but does NOT go anywhere.


 


I NEED assistance migrating our online data back to this new desktop version to ensure our data is converted but also that the online purchases and POS purchases are connected properly.  It has been 4 months of trying to work this out with Intuit/QB to no avail.  This is crippling our small non- profit art center!!  How can I get the help we need to utilize your product?  Can I please get someone from the "next Level support team" to help me migrate our data back to QB Desktop from Essentials Online?


 


I've attached the original email from customer service with the migration links for reference as well as a screen shot of the failed results.  Please help.

URGENT-Migrating from QB Online to QB Desktop

My company as well is having a problem migrating QuickBooks POS 19 to QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop23.  Specifically with the inventory barcodes.  The POS system is adding zeros and changing the actual barcode number during the export of the information to Excel.  When importing the information from the POS Excel spreadsheet the barcode number cannot be recognized because it is not the same.  I have contacted number customer service and no one has a "fix" for it other than doing it manually.  I have two companies, one with 5,000 items and one with 7,000 items.  How are you supposed to run a business and continue billing when you get get the product into the invoice?  Isn't there ANYONE other than customer service reccomending articles that do not pertain to the issue.  What about the programmers?  Why did Intuit make the QBPOS on a different platfor than there regular QuickBook software.  This has been a nightmare, and October is next month.  Please, generate a fix for this problem!!!

Unfortunately, I did that already.  They were not any help, unless you are suggesting I try again and maybe get someone else?

Hi Valerie,

 

I know how inconvenient issues with migrating data from POS to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise are. Allow me to chime in and lend a hand with the data migration.

 

I can see you've previously contacted the QuickBooks Support Team regarding the problem with migrating your data. It would be best to get in touch with them again for further assistance with the inventory bar codes. 

 

If you have your case number, you can provide it to the next representative to streamline the process. This way, you'll no longer need to explain the issue all over again.

 

They have the necessary tools to assist you further with fixing the output of your migration. You can use the callback feature within our software to have someone from our support contact you.

 

See the steps to get a hold of a specialist:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Click the Help tab at the top menu bar.
  3. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  4. Enter your concern, then hit Continue.
  5. Choose Get a callback.

 

Please know our product engineers provide updates regularly to improve the features and options, including the migration process.

As we assess this issue with managing QuickBooks data, I recommend sending feedback directly to our engineers. We also make changes and adjustments based on user feedback.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner.
  2. Select Feedback under Profile.
  3. Share your feedback.
  4. Hit Next to submit.

 

Also, we've created some frequently asked questions about the discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale.
