Troubleshooting the Quicken Conversion
Below are frequently asked questions that may help you resolve errors when 
starting or working with Peachtree Accounting.
Frequently Asked Questions
The following section lists common questions that occur when importing 
Quicken data into Peachtree Accounting.
What is converted from Quicken?
All transactions are converted for the date range you selected. You should 
convert all transactions in Quicken for the most accurate conversion.
Categories and subcategories are converted as individual accounts in 
Peachtree Accounting. If you want to report them as you did in Quicken (roll 
up subcategories into categories), you should refer to the “Creating a 
Company” chapter of the User’s Guide for information about masking.
You will have the opportunity to convert anyone to whom you wrote a check 
into a vendor or employee, and anyone from whom you received money into 
a customer.
How long will conversion take?
The length of the conversion process depends on how many transactions you 
have in Quicken. If there aren’t many (100,000 bytes or less), it will probably 
take 30-45 minutes. But if you have many transactions (indicated by file size), 
it could take several hours.
Where are my categories listed when I do the export from 
Quicken?
Even though Quicken doesn’t show your categories as separate files, they are 
there. Your Quicken categories are included in your accounts.
