Transferring Accounts Receivable (AR) Aging from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online

Hi,

I'm looking for advice on the best way to transfer AR aging from QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Here's what I've done so far:

  • I've imported QBO data from 2022 to the present.
  • For 2022 and 2023, I created AR balances for each month using general journal entries, which I reversed at the start of the following month.

Now, for 2024, I want to transfer an aging report as of July 31st, which includes invoices dating back to 2022. My initial idea was to create these invoices in QBO to match the aging report from QBD, having both the credit and debit impact AR so that previous balances from prior years remain unchanged. However, I've realized that QBO doesn't allow booking an invoice to AR on both sides.

What’s the best way to bring in the AR aging without affecting prior periods?
