Buy nowI need to import my data out of another software that Is my operating system and has the A/P and A/R come into QB Desktop. I like to use an excel file, is there a template I need to follow and where do I upload it??
Importing invoices via Excel file isn’t possible at the moment in QuickBooks Desktop, @JCasullo. No worries, I’ve got ways to get these transactions uploaded successfully and accurately.
The first workaround is to utilize Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) files. These files simplified the transfer of data to and from different platforms to better manage company records in QuickBooks. You can read these guides and download the sample for more information and your reference:
When ready, you can proceed to the following steps below to start uploading. Just make sure to back up your company file before doing the process. This way, you can restore it anytime in case an unexpected happens.
Another option is to use a third-party application. QuickBooks provides tools to streamline processes and boost efficiency. You can easily find them on our QuickBooks Desktop Apps Center.
I completely recognize and appreciate the convenience and versatility of the Excel file format. Excel's flexibility and robust features make it a reliable choice for managing and manipulating data. Thus, I recommend submitting feedback to our Product Development team to improve your experience. Access the Help menu and click on Send Feedback Online, then choose Product Suggestions.
I’m adding these resources to learn more insights about import features and how to ensure everything is intact after transferring them:
