Conquering Errors During Your QuickBooks Desktop to Online Migration
Moving your accounting data from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online can streamline your workflow, but encountering errors during the process can be frustrating. Here's a guide to address common roadblocks and ensure a smooth transition:
Error: We Can't Export Your Data
This message usually pops up if your QuickBooks Desktop data isn't on your local C drive or the file is open in multi-user mode.
Solution:
Locate your QuickBooks company file.
Close QuickBooks Desktop entirely.
Copy the company file to your C drive.
Open the file from its new location in QuickBooks Desktop.
Switch to single-user mode (File > Switch to Single-user mode).
Go to Company > Export Your Company File to QuickBooks Online.
Error: Export QBDT data to QBO: ERROR
This error might appear if the path to your company file is excessively long (more than four folders deep).
Solution:
Locate your QuickBooks company file.
Close QuickBooks Desktop.
Copy the file to a new folder directly on your C drive (e.g., c:\new folder\mycompany.qbw).
Open the company file from its new location in QuickBooks Desktop.
Go to Company > Export Your Company File to QuickBooks Online.
Bonus Tip: Data Integrity Matters
Before exporting, ensure your QuickBooks Desktop data is clean. Run the Verify Data utility (File > Utilities > Verify Data) to identify and fix inconsistencies. If necessary, rebuild your data using the same menu option.
