Question

multiple cost centers - can three desktop Quickbooks be converted to one Online Quickbooks

We are a church and previously used three installations of Quickbook desktop; regular operations, cemetery and capital improvements. We converted the regular operations to the online Quickbooks and would like to convert the other two desktop systems. Is it possible to have everything in one system and report on the three different profit centers?

Hello @51926,

 

Converting multiple desktop files to one company in the online version is unavailable. This means, each conversion works for one company only and that you'll need three separate online subscriptions to move the other systems.

 

While the option is unavailable, there are several functions of labels you can use to work with multiple companies in one subscription. These are the Class or Location tracking and the Tags feature. You can read through the following articles below to learn more:

 

 

Saying you wanted to work with all three of your profit centers into one system, I recommend letting your voice be heard throughout the entire platform by sending your experience via feedback. I'll walk you through the steps to accomplish this.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under PROFILE, select Feedback.
  3. Describe how you wish to accomplish a such goal and how it is helping you work efficiently in QuickBooks.
  4. Select Next.
  5. Click Skip and send message.

 

I'm including our Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online page to track the status of your request and get the latest updates from our developers. Updates such as how the recent enhancement made to QBO helps our business owners, like you.

 

It'll always be my pleasure to help if you've got other questions aside from working with your company in QuickBooks. I'll be here to help.

Jonpril,  Thank you for you response.

As a follow-up, we are a church and we are one company.  However, we track the finances for the operations, the cemetery and our capital projects separately.  That said, I was reading past Q&A conversations and someone had recommended using Locations and/or Classes could be used to separate revenue and costs into different P&L reporting.  Is this something that you have seen work??

Any suggestions/thoughts are greatly appreciated.

@51926   You can use the classes, location or tags to separate those 3 with no problem.
