This section describes the process of exporting your Quicken data to a file 
format that can later be imported in Peachtree Accounting.

Before you begin exporting Quicken data, complete these tasks to ensure that 
your Quicken information will convert to Peachtree Accounting as accurately 
as possible.

remove duplicate payee and class names

make sure the opening balance transaction is the first transaction in 
each account

print Quicken checks

print Quicken reports for comparison after conversion

Quicken allows you to have more than one name for the same payee or class. 
For example, in Quicken you may refer to the same payee as John Brown, 
John R. Brown, and J. R. Brown. 

Peachtree does not recognize multiple names for the same vendor, customer, 
job, or employee. So if you import Quicken data that has the same payee 
referred to by multiple names, Peachtree Accounting views each name as a 
separate entity. In this case, you have these choices:

select only one during the import process and lose the history for the 
other two

select all three during the import process, making two inactive so 
that they can be purged later

A better approach might be to review your payees and classes before you 
export and make the entries consistent.

You need to check every account to ensure that the opening balance 
transaction is the first transaction in the account. If the opening balance 
transaction is not the first transaction, the account name for the transferred 
account in Peachtree Accounting will not match Quicken’s account.
