Major Technical Errors That Might Arise While
‘Migrating QB Desktop to QB Online’
This section mentions different technical errors that you might encounter while
‘Migrating QB Desktop to QB Online’ along with suitable step-wise troubleshooting
techniques.
Error A: ‘Your File is Too Big to Export’
The Reason behind Error A: This error occurs if the number of targets in the QB
Desktop company file has exceeded the permissible limit (750,000).
Troubleshooting Technique:
1. After opening up the QB Desktop window, simply strike the ‘F2’ key to easily obtain
the ‘Product Information’ window & then note the number of targets. If the targets
have exceeded the permissible limit (750,000), you need to condense the
company file data.
2. In order to condense the company file data, move to the ‘File’ menu to strike the
‘Utilities’ tab & then simply hit the ‘Condense Data’ icon, following which a fresh
window will appear on the screen.
3. Next, effectively mark the ‘Keep all transactions but remove audit trail info to date’
option & then strike the ‘Next’ button to immediately start the condensing process
for the company file data.
4. Once the company file data has been condensed, you will be informed on the
screen, following which you can export QB Desktop data successfully to QB
Online.
Error B: ‘We Can’t Export Your Data. It May
Be On a Network Drive’
The Reason behind Error B: This error can manifest if the QB company file is not
present in the ‘C: drive’ or if the QB application is executing in the multi-user mode.
Troubleshooting Technique:
1. First & foremost, find the present location of the QB Desktop company file & then
immediately copy that file, following which you must paste the copied company file
within the ‘C: drive’.
2. Thereafter, instantly launch the QB Desktop application & then access the
company file from the ‘C: drive’, following which you should also hit the ‘Switch to
Single-User Mode’ option given under the ‘File’ menu.
3. Next, successfully commence the export process of the selected QB company file
to QuickBooks Online by tapping the ‘Export Your Company File to QuickBooks
Online’ button given within the ‘Company’ menu.
