Step 2 : Processing & Overview of Functions
How do I import data into Localizebook?
After you’ve exported all the required data from QuickBooks, you can begin the migration process. We will now look at how you can import all the data exported from QuickBooks into the Loclizebook system by function based on the reports that you’ve exported earlier. For a smooth migration process, you would have to follow the steps in the order mentioned on this page.
This is some of the functionality of menus that we need to use to process migration data into Localizebook:
- Import Chart of Account
- Create Chart of Account
- Import Item
- Import Customer
- Import Vendor
- Batch Journal Entry
Import Chart of Account
The Chart of Accounts refers to the list of accounts that are used in a company’s general ledger. The first step in migration involves importing the Chart of Accounts into Localizebook.

Note: When filling in the information in the chart of accounts template file, please change the account type of the A/R account, the inventory account, from Quickbooks to Other Current Asset. And the A/P account to Other Current Liability.
Create Chart of Account
Remember, we have changed the types of A/R, Inventory, and A/P to “Other Current Asset” and “Other Current Liability”, So now create a new A/R, Inventory, and A/P Asset Account in Localizebook to handle all outstanding balances.
We recommend you create the account handle for controlling outstanding balances in Localizebook before you import your items. Because when you import your items, you need to fill in the new COA account handle in the import items template.
