QuickBooks Desktop to Online Transfer

Hello there, @exclusive55 .

Let me share information about what you can and can't move to QuickBooks Online from QuickBooks Desktop.

Yes, you can move data from the time you started using QuickBooks Desktop. Most of your data can be moved. There are limitations for some data, but don't worry. You can manually enter them into QuickBooks Online.

Here are some examples of features that can be moved:

• Budgets
• Inventory
• Multi-Currency
• Online Banking
• Payroll

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

Are you able to backup only the like the past 2 years of data in QuickBooks, we have been using it for like 10 years and we only need the past few years

We have Premier Accountant Edition 2023

You can run Condense Data utility to removed old data. You will convert the condensed file to QB Online. You should keep your old company file and you can use the trial version to access your historical data for good if required.

Does this fix the Error: beanstalk.zlib generation failed error?

@Risap 

Did you run the Condense Data utility? Did you encounter any error message?

HI, no this is what I get when I try to migrate from QBDT to QBO. Talked to a fella at Intuit, he said they were fixing the problem.  When I went online I see this has been happening since at least Sept.  Just wondering if condensing the data would help.

Thanks
