Hello,
I have QBDT for Mac 2020, and I am having trouble importing General Journal Entries. Below are the actions I have taken to try to correct this issue. If anyone knows how to accomplish the task I would appreciate an explanation. I don't know if its a 2020 version problem or a Mac version problem.
QuickBooks For Mac Not Importing General Journal Entries (.qbj)
Actions Taken to Import Data to QB Using Purchased Apps
- Downloaded PDF files from bank accounts
- Converted PDF to CSV with PDF2CSV application from ProperSoft (purchased app)
- Formatted CSV file headers as needed for a QBJ Import
- Converted CSV file to QBJ file with CSV2QBJ application from ProperSoft (purchased app), no errors encountered after conversion.
- Imported QBJ files to QuickBooks (i.e.: File à Import à General Journal Entries) without errors but the actual import does not appear anywhere in QB.
Actions Taken to Import Data to QB Using IIF Files
- Downloaded PDF files from bank accounts
- Converted PDF to CSV with PDF2CSV application from ProperSoft (purchased app)
- Downloaded Sample CSF Files from the web with the correct headers for creating an IIF Import
- Formatted CSV file headers as needed for an IIF Import and placed my bank data into the proper rows and columns
- Converted CSV file to a text delimited file and then changed the extension to IIF
- Imported the IIF files to QuickBooks (i.e.: File à Import à IIF File) without errors but the actual import does not appear anywhere in QB
Actions Taken to Correct QB
- I restarted QB on several occasions and tried the above Import methods, with no results
- In QB, I opened dummy company and tried to Import different bank data to the dummy company with the two methods above but there were no results
- Then, following instructions I found on the web, I cleared the Users PLIST and, three files were deleted
- Then I tried to clear the System PLIST but I could not find one for QB after executing step 2) above
- I restarted QB and tried to Import again but with no results
- All of my company data is backed-up
- Finally, I sent QB to Trash and reinstalled the program from my QB for Macs CD-Disk. I found it strange that upon restarting QB it did not ask me for the Registration Key.
- Again I tried Importing data but there were no results.
Thanks again.
