QuickBooks Desktop Export FAQ
IMPORTANT - QuickBooks Desktop Export feature has been deprecated.
Due to technological restraints and current level of support offered by Intuit, ALLDATA is able to offer limited navigation and usage support for this feature at this time. We unfortunately can no longer guarantee that QuickBooks Desktop Export will continue to function properly in the future.
We currently recommend using the Manage Online QuickBooks Online Integration feature with an online QuickBooks product in order to export your accounting information.
IMPORTANT - Create a backup of your QuickBooks company file before each import of ALLDATA Manage Online data.
- This ensures you always have a current saved copy of the company file to restore if necessary.

What information gets exported?
General Ledger
The General Ledger information consists of up to three General Journal transactions for each day in a given period.
- A summary of all Sales Invoices and Credits with sales class and tax disbursements.
- A summary of all Payments and Credits received.
These are summary journals detailing the total values of all sales and credit transactions entered into ALLDATA Manage Online for that day.
Accounts Payable
The Accounts Payable information is typically entered directly into QuickBooks Desktop. However, ALLDATA Manage Online provides an export option to transfer Accounts Payable information directly into QuickBooks Desktop.
The Accounts Payable information is exported at transaction level and contains all the Supplier (purchase) invoices/bills that are paid for during for a given period. This includes Supplier Account Code and Expense Code disbursement for each transaction.
No payment information is exported for Accounts Payable. This information is manually entered into QuickBooks Desktop.
- Note: Only the supplier's invoice total is exported after the purchase order has been paid.
Can a Sales Class Code be changed on an existing Invoice?
