My company is pushing our ERP from on-prem to on-line. We were told we have to DELETE a lot of that old worthless data. That is 400 gigs of GL detail in one table alone as well as more in supporting tables. The point is we were told that we no longer need ALL of those transactions that are past IRS rules. It's been decades since I have used QB and have no memory of deleting anything in it.
Have you investigated QB online? I don't know if you could post t QB online but figure with WestWind you can. When you push to the cloud that won't take old antiquated data as a guess, they will expect that you will keep it on your own computer. That is what we are going to do because we can keep the old version on-prem. I am just passing on what we are doing ourselves. We have a lot of learning on how to deal with data that is no longer ours and our data warehouse. With your situation, you may find that what QB presents to users is just fine, and learning how to post a new way isn't that bad. As well as giving you more billings in the conversion.
