I want to make sure your file conversion is seamless, @Migrating to On-Line Problem.

 

When you want to covert from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, you need to have the desktop updated to the latest release. Before anything else, may I know what version of QuickBooks do you have? You may check the current release from the following:

 

 

 

If your current company file is not updates, you can manually install the update patch outside QuickBooks and see if it makes a difference. See these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Downloads & Updates page.
  2. Choose US for the country.
  3. Below the survey, click on the standard setup link.
  4. On the next page, enter your QuickBooks version to update then press Search.
  5. To download the patch, click the link for Get the latest updates.
  6. At the bottom once the patch is downloaded completely, wait until it launches automatically. You can also double-click on it to apply the update. See this sample screenshot:

 

After updating file, you can follow these steps to start the conversion process:

 

  1. Make sure to sign in as an admin to the desktop company file you want to move.
  2. Press Ctrl + 1 to open the Product Information window.
  3. On your keyboard, press Ctrl + B + Q, then select OK to display the export window.
  4. On the export window, select Get started.
  5. Sign in as an admin to your QuickBooks Online company.
  6. Use Choose online company, then select the QuickBooks Online company you want to replace with your company file.
  7. Click Continue.
  8. If you track inventory in QuickBooks Desktop:
  9. Add the keyword “Agree” in the text field, then select Replace.
  10. Select Yes, go ahead and replace the data, then select Replace.

 

I've included some related links to aid you with the conversion process:
