Question

Can I start over with while keeping the current, messed up one alive until I've completed the redo? QBO to Amazon Seller connection has made a mess of the file.

The obvious answer is to create a new QBO file, pay month to month and then try and transfer over my existing subscription but am looking for a better way if possible?

You should sign up for a new QBO account. Cancel your old account and you can access it for a year in read-only mode. If you need to migrate some transactions for the old account, you can resubscribe at any time.

    Hello there, nhinton.

     

    Starting over with another company file while keeping your current one is possible in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me guide you through the process so you can get your records back in order.

     

    As you and 4Gal mentioned, you'll need to sign up for a new QBO account to work on the two companies together. You can also sign up for a trial version of QBO, so you won't have to pay for the new subscription immediately. Once you have your new account, you can redo your company file and get everything back in order while keeping the old one for reference. Once you've finished, you can cancel your old account and keep the subscription for the new one.

     

    To help you with this process, I recommend that you check out these helpful articles:

     

    In addition, running reports in QBO can give you a comprehensive overview of how your business is doing in different aspects. This can also help you review your books and records to gain additional insights about your business and ensure everything is in order.

      Hi, I came across this post.  Didn't think this could be done nor thought about doing this. Would I be able to not start from the beginning, Jan 2018,  but start from this point on?  Just wondering because of the first couple of years the person who was doing some the QBO worked didn't know what they were doing and know I am trying to figure out how to fix and I left a few posts on here with not so clear replies on how to fix.

      Thank you.

      Thanks for joining the thread, @ametz1201. We'll provide more details to help you start over again with your current QuickBooks Online (QBO).

       

      If you're referring to your company file from January 2018, please know once it's canceled, you only have view access to it for a year. After a year of inactivity, you'll lose your company data inside it. However, if you've secured or exported a copy of your company data, you can import them to your latest QBO company and subscribe to your data organized and intact in one place. Feel free to visit this page to learn more about what data can be imported inside the program: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online.

       

      In case you're referring to something else, please don't hesitate to comment below so we can provide the necessary details to your query.

       

      Furthermore, we got these articles to help you modify your reports to show more details: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

       

      We look forward to having you here again, @ametz1201. Don't hesitate to visit the Community space if you have other additional questions or need assistance managing your data inside the program. Keep safe.
