Export lists items to another QuickBooks company file

Note : Only the QuickBooks Administrator can do this.

You can export part or all of your company lists to another QuickBooks company. For example, if you work with two different QuickBooks companies, you might want to export a list of vendors you created in the first company to the second company.

Important: This procedure does not export transactions. 

To do this task

1. Make a backup copy of the QuickBooks company that will receive the list information.
2. Open the company that contains the lists you want to transfer.
3. Go to the File menu, click Utilities, click Export, and then click Lists to IIF Files.
4. In the window that appears, select the lists that you want QuickBooks to include in the export file.
5. Click OK.
6. Enter a filename for the export file.
7. Click Save.
8. Open the QuickBooks company that will receive the list information.
   To quickly find and open the file, go to the File menu and click Open Previous Company.
9. Go to the File menu, choose Import, and then click IIF Files.
10. Select the export file you just created and click Open.
