Does the dataswitcher migration remove the information from Xero, or is Xero still usable post migration?

Hey there, @cklippel-aaoe-ne.

 

Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community. I hope you're having a great day so far. 

 

Because the systems subtly vary in how they handle accounting, it is not always possible to convert everything for all of your accounting period. Here's a list of some of the data that won't be converted: 

 

  • Assembly builds
  • Budgets
  • Memorized transactions
  • Deleted transactions
  • Draft or unposted journals
  • Jobs that are not attached to transactions
  • Closed or partially closed estimates and purchase orders
  • Bank reconciliation history
  • File attachments
  • Invoice template and other templates
  • Terms list
  • Employees list
  • Payroll information, if any (employee details, pay calendars, tax information and pension, etc.)
  • Project details, if any (quotes and estimates, tasks and expenses, profitability, etc.)
  • Fixed assets management

 

Please note: It is important that you export reports from Xero and save them in a safe location even after the conversion is done for the tax or financial audits.

 

To know if Xero is still usable post-migration, I recommend consulting with Xero's Customer Care Team. This way, one of their agents can go over all the information you need before converting.

 

For more details about migrating, please check out the help guide I'm including below. 

 

 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. Take care and have a wonderful day!
