Thank you for getting back here in the thread, Chris. We will provide details about what reports to secure before condensing your data and what data are affected after performing this feat inside QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Utilizing the condensed option inside the program affects the data you entered in your company file. Account-based reports will remain accurate because entries on accounts aren’t affected, and item-based reports, on the other hand, will be blank because all of the item data is gone.
Before performing the condense feature, ensure to reconcile all accounts, print all reconciliation and discrepancy reports, or save these reports in PDF format. Also, consider backing up your company file to keep a copy of your original company data.
