payroll history from one desktop QB to another desktop QB

Good day, @Vivver1. I'd be delighted to guide you through the step-by-step procedures to get rid of redundant inventory items and add payroll history to your employee's file. I'll also clarify things about your want to modify the vacation/sick table.

Let's start by either deleting or merging unnecessary inventory items in QuickBooks Desktop. Before doing so, it's important to review the items and determine which ones you want to keep. Below are the steps to do this:

To delete items:

1. Open the Lists menu, and go to Item List.                                                                                                                
2. Locate and hover over to the item you want to erase.
3. Right-click then hit Delete Item.                                                                                                                                    
4. Once done, select OK.

Note that QuickBooks won't let you delete an item if it's ever been used in a transaction. If you don't need it anymore, you can hide it. When you hide an item, it's removed from the list but not from your books. See this for more details: Hide an item in QuickBooks Desktop.

To merge items:

Reminders before you merge:

• Back up your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows company file.
• Switch your company file to "Single User" mode.
• Clear any pending accountant changes.
• Multicurrency is disabled in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.

1. Open the Lists menu, then go to Item List.                                                                                                                          
    
2. Locate and copy the name of the entry you want to keep.                                                   
3. Right-click the entry you don’t want to use, then hit Edit.                                        
    

   

4. Paste the name you copied, then select OK.                                                                
    

   

5. Click on Yes to merge the entries.                                                                                                                        
    

   

After that, it’s time to add your employee’s prior paycheck info. You can use their pay stubs or payroll reports from your prior payroll service.

1. In the Payroll setup screen, select Payroll History.
2. Hit Yes, have paid employees in [year] radio button, and then tap Continue.
3. Click Yes or No on Consolidate paychecks for the previous quarters, then tick Continue.
4. Pick the employee you want to enter paycheck details for and then select Edit payroll history.
5. Enter the paycheck amounts as a total for each previous quarter or by paycheck (depending on what you selected in step 3). You’ll need to enter the amounts by paycheck date in the current quarter.
6. Once you’ve added all the paychecks for that employee, hit  Done.
7. Repeat the above steps for each employee paid in the current year, including those who no longer work for you.

Finally, I'd like to ask for further information on what specific vacation or sick table you're referring to. This enables us to investigate more thoroughly and walk you through the next steps to take.
