Now that tax time is over (for most people and small businesses), we've started getting an increase in requests to convert old One-Write Plus files into new QuickBooks files. We're always happy to help, as One-Write Plus is no longer supported by Sage Software, and really - it's about time to get out of that truly outdated software and start enjoying the benefits of a modern program with cleaner interfaces, more functionality, better reporting, etc.
In beginning this process, one of the first questions people ask is "What will come across and what won't?"
Well, assuming you have a One-Write Plus for windows file (as One Write Plus DOS files can be a little more challenging), the conversion is pretty straightforward from OWP to Peachtree to QuickBooks. In that process, all of your lists and balances will carry across, as well as historical Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet data. You will be able to see that you had $100 of Telephone Expense in 2007, that you currently owe AT&T $20, what your Sales Income was for January, that "Smith" owes you $100 - But you WON'T have the bill for AT&T or the Invoice for Smith that caused those balances to exist. (This is due to the conversion process summarizing all of that data in month-by-month journal entries).
We appreciate all of the people who have sought us out to help with this conversion process and are happy to answer any questions you might have. Please don't hesitate to call our QuickBooks experts in Reno or Sacramento to assist in your file conversion.
