You have now reached a very critical stage in conversion to QuickBooks desktop process. Even if you’ve followed all the steps, you can’t pass this final stage in the desktop.
Please give this a try if you’re getting the following error:
The “Convert Now” button (it fails at step 4) stage and get the error from QuickBooks Pro Desktop: “QuickBooks already has a company file open…”
All these steps are probably not necessary, but it’s what worked in some test.
1. Open a Sample company, select a Services-based sample company
2. Close the company and go back to the No Company Open screen
3. Click the menu bar Help –> Activate QuickBooks Desktop (this may need to do this but did it anyway)
4. Click the Activate button
5. Close the “We just need to verify your identity to activate” browser window, return to the No Company Open screen
6. BIG HOPE!!! Start the conversion process again with QBO. Again, hopefully, it will work with no error message!

Inventory feature in QuickBooks Desktop can track the current number in stock and the value of your inventory after every purchase and sell the items to your customers. With QuickBooks Desktop Premier or QuickBooks Enterprise versions, you can even keep track of products you assemble and resell (finished goods), adding assembled units to inventory and deducting component units from inventory when you build assembly items.
To start with, you may want to be familiar with these basic steps related to questions about Tracking Inventory in QuickBooks:
1) To turn on Inventory: Go to Edit menu at the top > select Preferences > choose Inventory & Items > Company Preferences > checkbox “Inventory & Purchase Orders are active” > click OK.
2) Create Inventory Items: Go to Lists menu at the top > Items List > Select Item tab at the bottom > click Item (or drop-down arrow) and select New > Type = Inventory Part and create a new item.
These three fields are important to set up inventory items. See screenshot sample.
For COGS Account field = Cost of Goods Sold account type from the Chart of accounts
For Income Account field = Income account type from the Chart of Accounts
For Asset Account field = Inventory Asset account which is part of the Other Current Asset on the Chart of Accounts
You do not want to put in On Hand/Total Value info here.
3) For adding purchased Inventory items: Use Enter Bills under Vendor menu at the top or Write Checks menu under Banking at the top. Always use ITEMS tab, never Expenses tab.
4) For selling Inventory items: Create Invoice (or Sales Receipt). Use ITEM Code in the sales form. This will also automatically post COGS to P&L by reducing inventory counts.
If you need more info, you can always click HELP menu at the top and select QuickBooks Desktop Help and type INVENTORY HELP in the search field. If interested, you can also watch my famous how to inventory video tutorials on YouTube.

Export limitations when moving from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop
If you’re considering exporting list and transaction data from QuickBooks Online to another version of QuickBooks, we’d like to provide you with some detailed information, just so you understand the capabilities and limitations of the process.
For export steps, use this article: Visual guide to export.
Important: Please take careful note of the limitations listed below for the various list names. Most export errors are due to list names that are too long. If you have any list names that are longer than the limits described here, you must edit the items and shorten the names before exporting.
Size Limitations: There isn’t a known limitation of File Size (MB) for any file generated through the export process. As long as your system has enough disk space, is setup to where it will not sleep, or turn-off while idle, you should be able to export all data. The only size limitations would be the limitations of the Desktop program that you are trying to convert to. For list and item limitations for Desktop products see INF12412.
