Quickbooks Online class tracking

Welcome to the Community space, shawn.

I'm here to provide insight regarding your class data migration from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online Essentials.

When transferring your data from QBDT to QBO Essentials, your class data won't be transferred because QBO Essentials doesn't support class tracking.

Furthermore, it is also important to note that when upgrading from QBO Essentials to Plus, your data will not be retained and you'll need to enter it manually.

Moreover, I'm adding this helpful article as your reference in upgrading your QBO edition: Upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online edition.

Please don't hesitate to return to this post if you have other concerns about migrating your data from QBDT to QBO. I'll be here to lend a hand. Have a good one!

Which QB Desktop year version do you have?

Premier 2021

2021

Thank you for the information.

As I know, the class tracking won't be converted to QBO Plus or Advanced

You may have 2 options

1. Purchase a 3rd party service to convert your data with class

2. Only convert as is from QB Desktop and start to use the class feature in QBO

Thank you @4Gal 

I played it safe and subscribed to Plus, and then converted to it.  All seems great thus far!  Once I confirm all is good, I'll cancel my Essentials subscription.
