Question

After converting from QB Desktop to QB Online in 2022 I have never had an accurate balance sheet using the cash basis. Am I the only one who has this issue?

Using the cash basis, the balance sheet is completely out of whack showing 10 years' worth of payments in undeposited funds while showing a negative balance in checking.

The amount may not match with Cash Basis, mopton.

 

When converting your QuickBooks Desktop data to QuickBooks Online, you'll see discrepancies on the Balance Sheet report using the cash basis since the two platforms don't track transactions as paid in the same way.

 

Run the Balance Sheet report using the Accrual accounting method and All Dates to ensure that the data was successfully copied.

 

The detail types for each account may also change as a result of the conversion. To make sure the information is accurate, you can check and change them. Here's how to review and edit your accounts' detail types using the Account List report.

 

  1. Go to the Report menu, then search and open the Account List report.
  2. Review your accounts.
  3. To edit an account's detail type, choose the account name.
  4. From the Detail Type field, choose the correct detail type.
  5. Select Save and Close.
