Conversion Entries made by the system how to get rid of them

I just completed a conversion from Desktop to Online for one of our clients. I had to condense the data prior to converting it all over due to the size of the file. That being said the system created journal entries post the conversion  for data that was not brought over. Those are now journal entries showing up on the unpaid bills reports. My issue is that even though the bottom line number is zero I have no clue how to make those entries come off the unpaid bills reports. Please help

Conversion Entries made by the system how to get rid of them

Let's work together to get rid of the Journal Entries from the Unpaid Bills report, @FaithT.

 

First off, you may want to check this article for more details on how data is converted from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO): Learn about converting from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.

 

Then, to isolate the issue, we can link the journal entries to the bills so they will no longer show on the report. I'll guide you how:

  1. Open your QBO account and click the +New icon.
  2. Next, choose Pay bills.
  3. Then, look for the unpaid bills.
  4. Select and ensure the credit amount (journal entry) is correct.
  5. Once done, click Save and close.

 

You'll learn more about this by visiting this link: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

Also, feel free to browse our QuickBooks Help page to look for video tutorials and handy articles that will help you with your QBO tasks. 

 

I'm just a few clicks away if you have any other concerns about managing your converted data in QBO. Don't hesitate to post here again. Have a great day ahead.

That was the first thing I did, tried paying them as bills since they had come up on the unpaid bills report but they do not come up in the bill pay screen. The entries are for transactions that are all the way back to 2004.
