The Fixed Asset Manager (FAM) feature is typically tied to QuickBooks Desktop license, meaning it cannot be purchased as a standalone product. If you've upgraded QuickBooks and have to skipped versions during the upgrade process, you'll need to locate the client file in the original version to successfully transfer it to your new version, Kryan.
Here's how you can do it:
- Open File Explorer and navigage to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files.
- Copy the client fixed asset folder (named something like {0000301), and save it to your desktop.
- Open the folder you copied.
- Change file extensions to match your QuickBooks. Here’s the list of file extensions for each QuickBooks version.
- For example, if you transfer a fixed asset data file from QuickBooks Desktop 2020 to 2022, rename .F90, .F91, and .M90 files to .F10, .F11, and .M10.
- Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files\FAMXX, for the new QuickBooks version, and check if there's a client file named the same as the one you saved to the desktop.
- If there’s not, copy the client file from the desktop to the FAMXX folder.
- If there is, don’t copy, because you’ll overwrite that existing folder. Follow these steps first:
- Go back to where you temporarily saved the folder, then change the number of the folder you need to move first. Then copy it again.
- For example: If you need to move folder {0000301, but an existing folder has the same number, change the folder number to {0000401. Just be sure to rename all the files in the folder to match the folder number.
- Move the folder to your new QuickBooks Clients folder.
