Data Migration FAQ

What is the turnaround time?

The average turnaround time is 2-3 business days. The turnaround time depends on the size of your data file and the complexity of the conversion. Weekend conversion service is available.

Which versions of Quickbooks can Simply Accounting be converted to?

Simply Accounting can be converted to Quickbooks Enterprise, Pro, Premier, Mac, or Quickbooks Online.

How many fiscal years of data are converted?

US Data files: All fiscal years of data are converted.
Canadian Data files: The last 2 fiscal years of data are converted by default (As defined in Sage 50 Setup > Settings). If you need additional years converted, you will need to let us know how many fiscal years of data you want to convert. Also, Projects are not converted by default because Quickbooks does not support projects. Projects can be converted to classes but you need to request this customization.

What can I expect after ordering this service?

After ordering the service, we will send you instructions to securely upload a backup of your data file. After we convert the file, we will send you a secure link to download a backup of the converted Quickbooks file in the requested format.

At E-Tech, privacy and security are of our utmost concern. Accordingly, all data files are transmitted to and form us is via secure servers (SSL encrypted) to ensure safety and security during transmission. Once we perform our services, we securely store our clients information on our servers for a period of 14 days at which time all client data is deleted (please inform us if you would like the information deleted immediately).

What is not converted from Simply Accounting?

We only currently convert core accounting data from Simply Accounting and not the following types of data.

  • Bank Reconciliations (You will need to do one bank reconciliation after the conversion)
  • Paychecks are converted as Journal Entries (Payroll data conversion is not supported by Quickbooks)
  • Employee YTD information (You will need to enter employee YTD information into Quickbooks after the conversion since payroll data conversion is not supported by Quickbooks)
  • Individual employee wage or deduction information
  • Simply Accounting Custom templates
  • Budgets
  • Custom templates
  • Jobs are not attached to transactions & Job Costing is not converted
  • Fixed Asset Items (This is only applicable if your Sage 50 data file is linked to Sage 50 Fixed Assets)
  • Work Tickets
  • Posting and Non-posting transactions after the current date are not converted
  • Closed or partially closed Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Estimates
  • Quickbooks handles Sales tax differently compared to Sage 50 and you may need to make Sales Tax Adjustments prior to using Quickbooks
  • Sales Tax items are converted to Quickbooks but Customer Sales Tax defaults are not assigned to customers.
  • We try to map every available field in Sage 50/Peachtree to the corresponding field in Quickbooks. In some cases, fields are not compatible and are not transferred over. You will need to manually enter such fields after the conversion. Examples of such fields are vendor default account numbers, preferred vendors for inventory, multiple shipping addresses for customers, and default Customer Sales Tax settings.
