How People Use This

I was migrating 18 months of invoice history from QBO to Xero and the export had 43 line items with blank Amount fields and 7 invoices where the date column had been reformatted by Excel into a text string. The validator caught every issue with row numbers. Without it, Xero would have rejected the entire batch with no useful error message.

Our quarterly audit requires exporting all invoices from QBO for review. The validator found that 11 invoices had amounts stored with currency symbols embedded and 5 had invoice numbers exceeding 20 characters. Those would have silently corrupted our reconciliation spreadsheet. Now it's a mandatory step before any export leaves accounting.

One client's QBO invoice export had duplicate invoice numbers across 9 rows because someone had manually edited entries in the system. The validator flagged the duplicates and also caught that 3 customer names didn't match the customer list exactly. Fixing those before migration saved us from creating phantom customers in the new system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere.

No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
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.

Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.
Required columns are Invoice No, Invoice Date, Customer, and Amount (line item amount).
The export has one row per line item. Invoice No groups lines together into a single invoice.
First transactions are free to preview. Full conversions use credits based on transaction count.
Common causes include special characters in titles, invoice numbers over 20 characters, zero-dollar amounts, or product/service type mismatches. Validate your CSV before export.
QuickBooks requires invoice totals of at least $0.01. Zero-dollar invoices won't export, and discount amounts must not exceed the subtotal.
Invoice numbers must be unique and under 21 characters. Remove special characters and ensure no duplicates exist in your export file.
QuickBooks typically uses MM/DD/YYYY format for invoice dates. Ensure consistent formatting across all rows in your CSV file.
No. Remove trademark symbols, accents, and special characters from product names and descriptions before exporting to avoid validation errors.
Remove currency symbols and commas from numbers. Use only decimal points, e.g., 2111.50 instead of $2,111.50 or Rs. 2111.
Customer accounting names must match exactly between systems. Update customer records to ensure consistency before exporting invoices.
