Convert QuickBooks Online Vendors to Xero Supplier

You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

We convert display name, company name, email, phone, fax, website, address, tax ID, account number, and notes. The vendor's default expense account is not transferred as Xero handles this differently.

Unlike customers who have separate billing and shipping addresses, QBO vendors typically have one address. We map this to both PO (Postal) and SA (Street) addresses in Xero.

Use the 'Append Vendor' duplicate handling option. This adds '- Vendor' to the contact name, making it unique and clearly identifying suppliers.

The 1099 status is not exported in QBO's standard report. You'll need to set up contractor status manually in Xero after import.

QBO payment terms (Net 30, etc.) are not included in the standard vendor export. You'll need to set payment terms manually in Xero.

Yes, but import them separately. Xero's contact import processes one file at a time. Import customers first, then vendors with the 'Append Vendor' option to avoid duplicates.

Yes, customize the Vendor Contact List report in QBO by clicking the Gear icon and checking the Tax ID field to view and export vendor tax IDs.

Inactive vendors are migrated to Xero and can be reactivated if needed. Review your vendor list after import to manage inactive suppliers.

Payment terms are typically transferred, but verify them in Xero after import as formatting may differ between systems.

Reconcile bank accounts, ensure A/R and A/P balances match your balance sheet, and clean up duplicate or outdated vendor records.
