How to Convert QuickBooks 2018 Company File to QuickBooks 2024

Once you upgrade the accounting software, you will need to upgrade QuickBooks 2018 data to QuickBooks 2024. It can seem intricate, but fortunately, Intuit has facilitated the process for its users. You can do this easily with the QuickBooks Rebuild Data and Verification tool.

Verify and Rebuild

Yes, it is always a good idea to run a rebuilding tool to make sure your company file is correct and there are no errors in the data. This becomes necessary while upgrading the company file.

To verify the data in your company file, follow the steps below:

• Navigate to the Utilities option in the File menu.
• Choose Verify Data.
• If encounter any issues, refer to the QuickBooks Company File Error troubleshooting guide for assistance.

After the data verification process, you will receive messages indicating any identified issues. Here are the three prompts you may encounter:

• QuickBooks found no issues with your data.
• If a specific error message appears, address the corresponding QuickBooks Error.
• If data integrity is compromised, perform a data rebuild to resolve the issue.

To recreate a company file, follow the steps below:

• Go to the Utilities option in the Files menu.
• Choose Rebuild Data.
• In the prompt to back up company data, click OK.
• Select Browse and pick the location to save the backup file.
• Provide a File Name for the backup.
• Click Save.
• Upon receiving the confirmation message that the Rebuild has been Completed, click OK.

You can verify the data once again to check for any additional errors. Additionally, you must create a backup of the QuickBooks company file before running the rebuild tool. The reconstruction tool deletes the transactions and then records them again. In this process, if anything goes wrong, you will have the option to revert to a previous version of the company file and restore the accounting data.

Steps to Upgrade QuickBooks Company File To 2024

Before you start, log all users out of the company file. In this process, you just need to open the company file in the new version of QuickBooks 2018 to 2024 upgrade. This will automatically upgrade the company file. You do not need to download any additional software to complete this action.

To upgrade the QuickBooks company file from 2018 to 2024, follow the steps below:

• Open QuickBooks 2024.
• Select “Open or restore company file”, which can also be accessed through the File menu.
• Select “Open a Company File” and click Next.
• Browse and pick the company file you want to upgrade.
• Click Open.
• Sign in to the Company File.
• Choose “Update Now.”
• Click Done.

Before upgrading your company file, it is important to create a backup. Once upgraded, the company file cannot be reverted to its previous version. This may create challenges for users who plan to continue using the older software version.
