We recently purchased the assets of a company that is using QB Desktop. We would like to migrate the company to QB Online. We have the QB files of the old company. Since this is an asset purchase, is there a way to migrate only the applicable balance sheet accounts from the date of purchase and then the income statement from the date of purchase to current? I have never migrated from Desktop to Online before so I am not sure how flexible the process is. There are balance sheet accounts that we don't need with the new company so I do not want to migrate those. Thank you.
The migration process in QuickBooks is easy, JP141. However, there isn't a way to only migrate specific data to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
While there isn't an option to migrate only specific data to QBO, you can condense your data and remove selected transactions instead. I'll guide you through the process.
In addition, I'm sharing these resources that contain information about the migration process as well as how data moves from QB Desktop to QB Online:
Let me know in the comment below if you have other questions about migration or any concerns. I'll be here to help.
Which QB Desktop year version did the old owner use? You need to open the company file and run the Condense Data utility to remove old data before converting it to QB Online.
