Will customer credit limits convert from Sage 50 to QuickBooks?
Usually yes: QuickBooks has a credit limit field on each customer, so the data has a home; whether it populates depends on your file.
Usually, yes. QuickBooks keeps a credit limit field on every customer record, so the value stored in Sage 50 has a clear destination. Whether each limit arrives intact depends on your file and on the conversion method used, so we treat credit limits as something to verify rather than assume.
Where does the limit live in QuickBooks?
Each customer profile in QuickBooks Desktop carries a credit limit, next to the payment terms and the balance. Invoice past that limit and the program can warn you before you save. The check is advisory; it flags the overage rather than stopping the invoice, so approval discipline still rests with your team. QuickBooks Online handles the field differently, so confirm your destination supports it before you rely on it.
Does a credit hold carry over as well?
Sage 50 lets you place a customer on hold, and that flag can block new activity in the old system. QuickBooks has no matching per-customer hold switch, so the status has no natural destination. Print or export your held-customer list before the move; after conversion the old flag is gone.
When we run a Sage 50 to QuickBooks conversion, our engineers ask for that list up front and can record each hold as a note on the customer in the new file. You can also mark a customer inactive, which keeps the history but hides the name from new transaction entry.
How do you confirm the limits landed?
Run a customer list report with the credit limit column visible, then compare it against the same list in Sage 50 before the old file is retired. Spot-check your largest accounts first; those limits do the most work. Keep the Sage backup until the comparison is done. A missing or wrong limit is a list fix, and lists are far easier to repair than history.
