Quickbooks Premier To Enterprise Conversion

[Gaynelle Beltramo]

Imlooking do downgrade out Enterprise Desktop to either Premium or Pro. I contacted Intuit and was told that I would need to buy new program send data file to a third party and would hear back within 24 hours. I was then told that it would take probably 10 days of not being able to use quick books. Also since we use payroll maybe i might want to wait till after the 1st of the year and tax season if over..... I asked why would you warn me about this, does that mean there is no guarantee this will work? They said I cant even contact the data company with questions untill I buy and send over file.

Now I'm nervous and hesitating on if this can be done successfully? I found third party sites that say they can get it done within a day. I have searched the community page and find this same question asked many times and many solutions but not one person has said that they have used some one and it has worked successfully.

I'd like to ask where you left off from downgrading your company file. You can try downloading the File Doctor using the Tool Hub and then browse through the file that you need to convert. After selecting your file and opening it, press Ctrl + A for the Advanced option. Then, select the Perform a certain task with a QuickBooks agent option. Enter your company admin's username and password. Follow the onscreen instruction by clicking Continue.

I still would recommend you from getting in touch with our Customer Support again in case you have questions during the process. You'll also want to run through our trial company files which will help you find out on what happens when your downgrade.

QuickBooks Desktop has company file limitations when using it to another product, version, or edition. For the time being, you can upgrade your Pro company files to Enterprise Solutions (ES), but you cannot downgrade ES company files in Pro. You can refer to this article for details: Company file compatibility with QuickBooks Desktop.

Also, you have an option to purchase a third-party app that allows you to convert your company file from Enterprise to Premium or Pro. Here's a link you can use to find any application you can use based on your needs: Apps for QuickBooks Desktop. You can find one by entering a few words in the Search address, say "Company File Converter".

When you refer to a third party app for conversion, how does this differ from transferring an IIF? Wouldn't I still need to transfer the information from one program to another? So how would I accomplish this?

We offer same-day service to convert your company file from Enterprise to Premier / Pro. Our conversion service offers a complete conversion of all your data, so you can pick up right where you left off with no need to fix or complete anything. See BRC Enterprise to Pro/Premier Conversion Service for more details.

I have been researching the downgrade of ES to Pro for a client of mine. Unfortunately you would have to use a 3rd party company to do the conversion. What I am frustrated about is the QuickBooks sales person pushed my client to purchase enterprise and they are a consulting company with no need for inventory or product sales tracking. They also cannot send an Accountants Copy for me to work with with my Accountants version of QuickBooks. My firm would have to now purchase the Enterprise version and we have no other clients that use that version. It is frustrating that the sales person pushed a product on my client that did not meet the needs of my client. I am warning all my clients to not purchase the ES version.

If your clients want to downgrade, they can do so using our BRC Enterprise to Pro/Premier Conversion Service with very little interruption because we can convert their data same-day, even on weekends.

Migrating a company file created in QuickBooks Enterprise Suite to QuickBooks Pro or Premier is not possible. Kindly read and use this article to learn more about company file compatibility: Company File Limitations When Upgrading to Another Product, Version, or Edition in QuickBooks Deskto....

My client used an outside third party software company that did the conversion back to from ES to QuickBooks Pro Plus 2022. I do not know who they used and I would not be able to recommend a company since I did not deal with them directly. However, I will say there were a few hiccups after the conversion but we have gotten those fixed. We are happy to be back to being able to get an Accountants Copy to work on each month.

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll be sharing details on how downgrade works in QuickBooks Desktop. Then, ensure you'll be routed to the right site to look for a particular app that you can use.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Solution and Pro are two different versions with distinct features. Thus, downgrading from ES to Pro is currently unavailable to prevent compatibility issues.

On the other hand, we are unable to recommend any app that you can use to help you downgrade the two various versions in QBDT. However, you can visit our MarketPlace website to find another alternative option on how to achieve your goal.

Lastly, you may refer to this article to see details on how to upgrade your QBDT so you can use separate features that can benefit your business with improved money management: Upgrade QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, or Enterprise.

Click my profile name and you will find our website address to send a direct message. We can also help to obtain the one time license for QB Desktop 2021 or the subscription license for QB Desktop 2022/2023 if required.

So in the end we should recommend to anyone considering QBE to not purchase, since QB has not been able to do a conversion from QBE to QBP. Most accountants do not need QBE so files will not be compatible. I'm running into the same situation & wish I would have been warned ahead of time there would be no way to move from one version to another. My accountant is now unable to do our books for year end. Has ANYONE found a solve for this issue besides a 3rd party? I am uncomfortable with using a 3rd party, especially since the amount we paid every year for QBE that is now no longer useful to our business. !!

I just learned a slick, creative way of using QuickBooks Online (QBO) as a pass-through conversion tool, that can be used in simple circumstances. It involves importing your QBES data into QBO, and then exporting it back out to a Desktop version (QBDT) of your choice.

[If you are running Intuit Payroll, you will need to set up your Payroll subscription from scratch in the new file. Call Intuit Desktop Payroll Support at (866) 223-5562 and talk to them before starting.]

11. After following all the above steps, try the import again. During the import flow you will likely get a pop-up asking you to be redirected to qbo.intuit.com, and if you trust this site? Please click Yes to continue.

13. Compare the Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet standard reports for All Dates in QBO and in QuickBooks Enterprise to ensure that your data transferred correctly.

Hi Alicia

I am trying to migrate from Quickbooks enterprise UK 2013 to Quickbooks pro 2018 but step 4, press Ctrl+b followed by Ctrl+q. will not do anything! and in utilities there is no option of making a copy for online quickbooks either, please help

Hi.

When I log in to QBO through Internet explorer the gear icon does not work. It either keeps spinning with a blank menu or the button just disappears!

As usual, QBO support just says: switch to chrome!

I really need this tool to switch an Enterprise to a lower version product.
