Thanks for reaching out to us, @pks1987. I'm determined to ensure you can get your data exported from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online.

 

Depending on the amount of data, it may take some time to receive the migration confirmation email. You may also verify if your file is ready to download by restarting the export process. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to the QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Select the URL and replace anything after /app/ with exportqbodatatoqbdt.  The URL should say https://app.qbo.intuit.com/app/exportqbodatatoqbdt. Then, press Enter on your keyboard.
  3. You'll see an Export Overview window. Hit Get Started.
  4. In Step 1: Prepare to export, click Continue.
  5. If your data is ready to be downloaded, you'll see the same message shown in the screenshot below.
  6. Choose Continue to Download.
  7. Click Download QBXML file. If QuickBooks prompts you to save the file, choose a location easy to find, like your desktop and select Continue.
  8. In QuickBooks Desktop, make sure you're on the No Company Open screen. If you have a company open, go to File and select Close company.  View your reports to compare your data before and after the export.

 

Finally, run the migration utility and follow the steps, including creating QuickBooks Application Certificate to import your QBXML file to QuickBooks Desktop. Refer to this article and proceed to Step 4: Move Your QuickBooks Online Data to QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please be back and let me know your result after following the instructions above. I'll continue to stick by your side and help you resolve this issue. I look forward to hearing from you again.
