GL account balance migration

Welcome back to the Community, anfas74. 
 

In QuickBooks Online, you can enter beginning balances when setting up accounts.
 

Here's how: 
1. Go to the Gear (⚙) icon, then Chart of Accounts.
2. Choose New.
3. Input the appropriate information in your Account Type, Detail Type, Name, and Description fields.
4. Pick when you'd like to begin tracking your money by using the available ▼ drop-down menu.

  • Use Today if the account you're tracking is brand new as of today.
  • Go with Other and type in a date in the Select a date field if you started it on a different day.

5. In the area titled What was your account's balance on 02/23/2020?, enter its balance.6. Select Save and Close.
 

Currently, there isn't a process for importing balance data. If your account names and types were imported using our Import Data feature, no opening balances were recorded. You can enter them afterwards so your books show everything correctly.
 

Here's a couple resources about working with initial amounts that may come in handy:

The best way to import a Trial Balance into QBO is with the import type Journal Entry.

NOTE: Any line in the import file that posts to an AR or an AP Account must reference a name (Customer or Vendor), and that name must already exist in the QBO company file.
