Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, TerryRR. Don't worry! I'm here to help you and thank you for using our Quicken service for at least 20 years. Your friends are correct in saying you can convert your Sage50 Premium to QuickBooks. I must say there are some limitations the conversion tool can't convert the following transactions:
- Employee Year-To-Date (YTD) information
- Closed or partially closed Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Estimates
- Paychecks (will be converted as journal entries)
- Individual employee wage or deduction information
- Fixed Asset items
- Work tickets
- Payroll Items
If you are converting to QuickBooks Desktop, the easiest way is to use the conversion tool. Here are the steps to do so:
- Download and install a desktop version.
- Migrate your data from Sage 50 to QuickBooks Desktop using the conversion tool.
After completing the first two steps above, the third step is to convert the desktop file to online if you need QuickBooks Online. You can refer to this article as a guide: Convert data to QuickBooks Online.
For more information about converting your data from Desktop to Online, this article is an excellent resource. When deciding the best software to use for your business, I am attaching these links, which show you the features and prices to assist you.
