Multiple Year Conversion - $1500-$5000* (Up to 7 years of Quickbooks Data) - 7 Days
Same as full conversion above except we can import up to 6 additional years of Quickbooks data. Pricing is normally an extra $500 per each additional year. So a full converion for 7 years would be 1-the basic conversion price $500 + 2- first year conversion price $1500 + 6 additional years $3000. Total price of $$5000
*Exceptions (Things you might have to do, or might raise the conversion cost)
Basic and Full Conversion Differences
1 - Quickbooks items have an item name and item description. AE has an item# (46 Characters), item name (62 Characters) and a description. The QB item name will become the AE item#. The QB description will become the AE item name, but the name will cutoff at 62 characters so we (or you) will have to cleanup the item name to match a max of 62 Characters. The QB name will become the AE description and can be used on invoices and purchases. AccountEdge also has a limit of 6 pricing levels.
2 - Jobs - In QB any card could be used as a job#. In AE the job# must be created. We can create the jobs from the QB data but are limited to 15 characters for the job#. We cannot have duplicate jobs in AE. So we might have to use numbers for the jobs, you can later change them.
3 - Payroll - Payroll accounts must be setup to match the way you do payroll for your company.
4 - Invoice & PO numbers cannot be over 12 characters. Substitute invoice and purchase numbers will be created. A reference to the old invoice or purchase number is created on the invoice or purchase. Lots of big invoice or purchase numbers can add time to the conversion process.
5 - Every Purchase & Sale must have a PO# or Invoice#, the Pur/Inv# must be unique. Non unique Pur/Inv# can add time and cost.
6 - Credit invoices and purchases must be manually applied to open invoices. (Adds time and cost to conversion process)
7 - Customer & PO Discounts can not be imported. Must be manually entered. (Adds time and cost to conversion process)
9 - Payroll transactions cannot be imported as payroll transactions. They are imported as a Check to the Employee with all the payroll transactions are posted inside of the check detail. (We can add them manually as a payroll transactions, this adds time and cost)
10 - Voided checks are not transfer (unless you want them to be
11 - Deposits and bank reconcilations are entered at the end of the year (We can match all deposits and reconcillations but it adds time and cost to conversion process)
