QuickBooks Desktop's integrated features make managing your business finances a breeze. For those moments when there's something it doesn't do that you'd like or need it to, there are third-party apps that can help you connect to other services.

I invite other users in the community to chime in with what they use. You can also check out our apps list to see what's available. I've got you started by throwing "purchase order" in the search bar on our Apps for QuickBooks Desktop website and got these results. The one thing to keep in mind when searching our site is some of these apps may only be available for US versions of QuickBooks Desktop.

The best way to make sure they'll work with your version of the program is to contact the app's support team. Clicking the name of the app will bring you to their information page, where you can see the Policy and Support options among other details.

Additionally, here are some articles to help you in the future:

shouldn't this be the responsibility of QB if they really want to retain their customers? This is mind blowing that this is so difficult especially when the sales team was constantly trying to get us to switch?!

I'm having the exact same issue. How did you solve it?

Hey, everyone! I had this exact same issue several times, and after a couple of successful migrations mixed in with a ton that failed this exact same way, I *THINK* I know what fixed it for me.

Background:

In my case, I have my QB Desktop files saved in DropBox. It's commonly understood in the tech community that "databases" of any sort should "never" be stored in a file sync tool such as DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc... however, I've been doing it for years without issue. I just have to cleanup "conflicted copies" every now and then, but overall, I've never had any database corruption as a result of storing my QBW in DropBox.

Possible Resolution:

In any case, the couple times I got the migration to complete, I 1) freshly reboot my computer, 2) logged back in and let all my startup apps settle down, 3) PAUSED DropBox sync (you may have OneDrive), 4) opened QuickBooks & performed a data validation to ensure no errors, then 5) pressed F2 --> CTRL+B+Q --> OK to begin the migration. Done this way, my QBW file with about 38k targets uploaded successfully in less than a minute and I received the e-mail confirmation from QuickBooks Online not much longer after.

For anyone having issues, please confirm if your QBW file is saved in a file sync tool. For example, Windows these days automatically moves your normal Documents folder to OneDrive for protection, but this means your QBW database is saved in a folder that is constantly being checked for changes which may be interfering with the migration process. Unsure exactly why and if I'm even correct, but I'm curious to know if this helps anyone.

GOOD LUCK!! --Matt
