Import from Enterprise to Desktop

I successfully exported my data from Enterprise to QB online.  Found some minor discrepancies, but no show stoppers.  Exported from Online to the QBXML.  Ran the import into Desktop which completed.  However, in checking some of data I found my checking balance to be negative 4 million.  It's because most of the deposits are missing.  Is this or something similar occurred to others.  Any solution?

Do you need to convert data from QB Desktop Enterprise to QB Desktop Pro/Premier, or else?

Hello, lbenioff. I'll be glad to help you resolve the negative checking balance issue that you're experiencing after importing.

 

It seems you exported data from QBDT Enterprise to QBO and then imported them again to QuickBooks Desktop. This process may result in a negative balance as the round-tripping of files can impact the data.

 

Moreover, when converting from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop, certain limitations on features that doesn't carry over and there may be variations in how your books look.

To fix the negative checking balance, you can manually enter the deposit based on the report in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise that matches your bank statements.
