Hi HeatherA,

Welcome to the QuickBooks community! Thanks for your interest in condensing your QuickBooks Enterprise file. I know a tool like that would be useful, especially if you have a lot of data in your company file. The condense data utility is currently available for our US counterparts, but not yet in Canada. I recommend leaving feedback about this for our product development team by going to the Help menu in the top toolbar and choosing Send Feedback Online.

In the meantime, you can consider creating a new company file and exporting lists and other information from your old file to import into the new one. That way you're not completely beginning from scratch and can enter in account starting balances and other important information such as that. Learn more about import and export options in our Import/export overview article.

Feel free to drop by again. We're always happy to answer customer questions. :)

Absolutely ridiculous that this isn't available in Canadian installations.

Hello DCA2,

I hear what you're saying and appreciate how useful it would be to have this feature for the Canadian version of QuickBooks Desktop. As we're constantly looking to develop and evolve what the program can do, having feedback such as yours helps us learn what you're looking for in the product. I assure you the feedback option is a great way to ensure your voice is heard in these matters. Many suggestions left in this way have gone on to become staple features in the program. Please don't hesitate to follow the steps I gave in my original response to let us know what you'd like to see!

I was just wondering if anyone from Canada, has used a third party to condense their file. I am just looking for any feed back on their experience. I am a little hesitant to manipulate our data file. Good and bad feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.
