Dear Inuit ...

 

I've just had a message saying

1. Desktop will not be supported after 30 June 2023

2. the mechanism to migrate historical date will not be ready till June 2023

 

Are you kidding? Mu choices are 

1. continue with unsupported Desktop version

2. Plan for a switch to online version in June 2023 not knowing how and whether the data migration system works

 

i am trying to run and plan a small business. I need to migrate data AHEAD of the switch so i can test and check before the switch over. This is not helpful!

Just to clarify. Do you need to convert data from QB Desktop UK version to QB Online UK version, correct?

They have assigned MMB to help convert your data. The drawback is their service only focuses on core transactions to speed up the process automatically.

If you need to convert data with multi currency transactions, attachments, or other specific requirements, you should purchase another 3rd party conversion service.

I had to change from my (expensive) desktop version to online for VAT. Don't make the same mistake! The online version is substandard and, unless you want to pay a fortune for the top of the range subscription, has few of the features that made Quickbooks any good.  This move away from desktop is a cynical exploitation of their loyal customers. They have lost me for one and I'm moving to another platform.

You may also consider to purchase a 3rd party service to convert data to another accounting app.

There is no other 3rd party to do the conversion, if you use Multicurrency you are screwed
