Using the QuickBooks Customer Center, you can easily export data about the customers you do business with to an Excel file and import them into Savance Enterprice.
- Click the Center containing the list you want to export.
- Display the customers you want to export. If necessary, click the Customers & Jobs tab. Optionally, click the View drop-down arrow and select a filter. By filtering the list, you can determine whether QuickBooks exports all list entries or only those that meet certain criteria.
- In The Center, click the Excel drop-down arrow and select Export Customer List.
- In the Export window, choose whether to create a new worksheet or update an existing worksheet.
- Click the Export button.
- QuickBooks exports all customer fields, except for Preferred Send Method, Price Level, and Preferred Payment Method. They are listed below.
- Open the Excel file. Make sure each column contains the same type of data, especially the 5 address columns. For example, the vendor's city should all be contained in the same column. Manually move data around, if necessary. You also have the opportunity to make any changes to the vendor information, if desired. For example, you can make some address or spelling corrections.
