SYMPTOMS
When you import Intuit QuickBooks data into Microsoft Office Accounting Express, you receive the following error messages.

Error message 1

Cannot migrate Date driven Payment Term. Unsupported Payment Term.

Note This error message is in the data migration log file.

Error message 2

Cannot find payment terms.

Note This error message is in the transaction migration log file.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because you imported the QuickBooks data that contain the date-driven payment terms in Accounting Professional or Accounting Express. However, Accounting Professional and Accounting Express disallow these terms.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, edit the date-driven payment terms to be the standard payment terms in QuickBooks. To do this, follow these steps in QuickBooks:
 * 1) On the Lists menu, click Customer and Vendor Profile List, and then click Terms List.
 * 2) Double-click the payment term that you want to edit.
 * 3) Click Standard, and then type the term in the Term box.
 * 4) Click OK.
 * 5) Repeat steps 2 through 4 to edit each date-driven payment term.
 * 6) On the File menu, click Exit.
 * 7) Import the QuickBooks data again.



MORE INFORMATION
The differences between the date-driven payment terms and the standard payment terms are as follows:
 * If you use the date-driven payment terms, your invoices are due by a certain day of the month. For example, if you have a payment term that is 1% 10 Net 25, your invoices are due on the 25th of the month.
 * If you use the standard payment terms, your invoices are due within a specific number of days from the invoice date. For example, if you have a payment term that is 1% 10 Net 25, your invoices are due within 25 days of the invoice date.
