QuickBooks File Analyzer: Will Your File Convert?

Quick answer: whether your QuickBooks Desktop or Sage file converts cleanly to QuickBooks Online comes down to a few numbers Intuit never explains: total targets (hard limit 750,000 for the built-in tool), your chart-of-accounts count (250-account ceiling below QBO Advanced), file size and database health. Type five numbers from your Ctrl+1 Product Information screen below and get the verdict instantly — nothing is uploaded.

Where do I find these numbers?

Open your company file and press Ctrl+1 (QuickBooks) to open the Product Information window. File size, total targets, total transactions and DB file fragments are in the File Information section; Total Accounts is under List Information. Sage 50 users can read equivalents from File > Properties and the Chart of Accounts list.

What is Intuit's 750,000 target limit?

Intuit's built-in Desktop-to-Online migration tool rejects company files with more than 750,000 targets (the internal rows that make up your transactions). Files over the limit are not stuck — they need a condense or a professional migration that carries history another way.
