After converting Sage 50 to Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise this weekend, we noticed the converted QB bills do not have an item. Only the item description was converted over.
Does anyone know why this is and does it need to be corrected or is there no requirement for the item number in a bill?
We can import your bills so the items will be shown. You can use the different file formats in QuickBooks Desktop. First, import them manually through MS Excel files.
Another option is using a third-party app to transfer your files. You may want to visit our Intuit Marketplace for a list of applications that you can use for bringing data in or out of QuickBooks.
To give you the complete details on what are the things that you'll need to check before the conversion, please see this link:
As another option, consider purchasing a 3rd party conversion service
The following is a list of what is converted:

What we don’t convert? We make your move to QuickBooks as quick and painless as possible by converting all core accounting information. However, since our conversion software needs to talk to the QuickBooks software, we have to work within the limitations it imposes. This means that there are some things you will have to do post-conversion. The following information is not converted:
Bank Reconciliation (You will need to do a single bank reconciliation after the conversion. We will send you instructions to do this.) Paychecks are converted as Journal Entries (Importing Paychecks is not supported by QuickBooks) Employee YTD information Employee Payroll setup data is not converted (Sick Pay, Vacation, Direct Deposit information, Pay rates, Tax setup including Withholdings, Deductions, etc.) Individual employee wage or deduction information Custom templates Jobs are not attached to transactions Budgets Fixed Asset Items (This is only applicable if your Sage 50 data file is linked to Sage 50 Fixed Assets) Work Tickets Posting and Non-posting transactions after the current date are not converted Closed or partially closed Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Estimates Sage 50 handles inventory differently compared to QuickBooks. You may need to add adjustments in the data file prior to using QuickBooks. . QuickBooks handles Sales tax differently compared to Sage 50 and you may need to make Sales Tax Adjustments prior to using QuickBooks Sales Tax items are converted to QuickBooks but Customer Sales Tax defaults are not assigned to customers. The default conversion converts all years of unpurged transactional data from Sage 50 to QuickBooks. If you want to convert a subset of the data, you will need to run the Purge Wizard in Sage 50 on a copy of the data file prior to sending us the backup for conversion. Attachments are not converted because the QuickBooks SDK does not support it at this time We try to map every available field in Sage 50/Peachtree to the corresponding field in QuickBooks. In some cases, fields are not compatible and are not transferred over. You will need to manually enter such fields after the conversion. Examples of such fields are vendor default account numbers, preferred vendors for inventory, multiple shipping addresses for customers, and default Customer Sales Tax settings. All conversions are completed using the default settings. Additional customizations may be possible if requested ahead of time. Additional programming fees will apply.
