Buy nowI have been trying for a week to copy one Quickbooks Online Advanced company file to another Quickbooks Online Company that was just created. I followed the directions listed here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/back-data/make-copy-quickbooks-online.... But I keep getting the following error. I have done research on how to create the group it tells me to but do not see a way to do it. The background to why I am doing this is: I had one client purchase another client and the new client wants to be able to access the history of the previous client. I have spoken to QB numerous times and they keep just telling me the engineers now this is a problem and they working to resolve, but it has now been over a week and I have not heard back. In the meantime the new client can do now billing/invoices and is getting frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
You can convert your data to QB Desktop and convert it back to the second QBO account as a workaround. You will find that the results are not the same due to limitations during the conversion process but it is better than nothing. Otherwise, consider purchasing a third-party service to duplicate data.
Is there a third party service you are aware of that will duplicate the data in its entirety. I looked into the online to desktop back to online option but it seems like there is to much loss for it to be a viable option.
Are there third party options you are aware of that copy the data over in its entirety?

@Rasa-LilaM I encountered the same error during my first attempt at copying our company file. I created the bundle item "Reimb Group" in the target company, then proceeded to my second copy attempt. Now for the 2nd attempt, it got stuck and has been going on for 4 days now. Here is the ticket raised for my case (INV-127932), hope a resolution will be provided to our dilemma, as we're quiet behind on our recordings now.
Thank you.
