Problems we fix
The problems that bring people to a rebuild.
One page for each, written from the inside of a real rebuild: what is happening in the file, what people try first, and what a line-by-line rebuild does instead.
Our QuickBooks file is too big and everything is slow
Why a QuickBooks Desktop company file slows down as it grows, what a healthy size looks like, and the numbers to check in your own file with F2.
Condense failed, or it finished and the file is still huge
What QuickBooks Condense actually does, why it fails or stalls on an old company file, why the file is rarely much smaller, and what it costs your reports.
We run Rebuild Data and the same errors come back
What Verify Data and Rebuild Data do, why damage keeps returning in an old QuickBooks Desktop file, and how a fresh line-by-line rebuild differs.
Can we start a new QuickBooks file and keep our history?
A new QuickBooks Desktop file usually means opening balances and no history. What the built-in options carry, and how a cutover rebuild keeps it.
Is a summary conversion enough, or do we need a full rebuild?
What a summary conversion of a QuickBooks Desktop file delivers for $8,000 to $15,000, what goes missing a month later, and when it is still right.
We are running into the QuickBooks list limit
QuickBooks Pro and Premier stop at 14,500 names and 14,500 items. What the limits count, why inactive records count too, and what Enterprise changes.
Will our inventory and assemblies survive a new QuickBooks file?
How average cost, pending builds, nested assemblies and stock by site come through a move to a new QuickBooks Desktop file, and how to check it.
Will our open sales orders and POs come over with the real lines?
Open sales orders, purchase orders and estimates move no money, so no balance check notices when a new QuickBooks file drops them. How to check yours.
How do we clean up 20 years of items, customers and vendors?
Why years of old items, names and accounts slow QuickBooks Desktop, why most cannot be deleted, and how to retire them without losing history.
What happens to our attached documents if we start a new file?
Doc Center attachments do not move into a new QuickBooks Desktop file, whatever the method. What you lose, and how to keep every document findable.
