How to check the number of targets in your QuickBooks Desktop file

Before migrating from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, Accountable Numbers will need to know the total number of Targets in your QuickBooks Desktop file. This helps us assess the size of the file and plan the migration accordingly.


To find the Total Targets in QuickBooks Desktop:

  1. Open your company file in QuickBooks Desktop
  2. Press the F2 key (or Ctrl+1 on Windows) open the Product Information window.
  3. Find the number of Total Targets in the File Information section.
  4. Please send us the Total Targets number. A screenshot of the entire Product Information screen (see below) is helpful if possible.
Once we have this information, we can confirm the best approach and timing for the migration.
