Yes, there is, Allan.

 

You can export data from QBW files in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to Excel. After that, convert it to CSV format and then import it into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) Global account.

 

As of now, direct region-to-region data migration from QBDT US to QBO Global isn't possible due to differences in localization and compliance standards. However, you can manually transfer data by following the steps below as a workaround.

 

Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Export the data from QBDT to Excel.
  2. Save the Excel file in CSV format.
  3. Log in to your QBO Advanced account and navigate to the Gear icon, then select Import data.
  4. Choose the type of transactions you want to import and follow the on-screen instructions to upload your CSV file.
  5. Click Import.

Please note that QuickBooks supports 3-column or 4-column CSV formats. Ensure your file matches the required structure for a successful import.

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

No. You should consider purchasing a 3rd party conversion service. Contact @Fiat Lux - ASIA directly by email for assistance.
