I will be porting data from a legacy system into QuickBooks using QODBC. My plan is to import the transactions as JournalEntryCreditLine, JournalEntryDebitLine and JournalEntry records. First questions are there any other potential targets for importing this data to? Secondly, the records that I will be importing balance on each month so the sum of credits minus sum of debits equal zero for each month. However, the problem is i'd need to perform as many as 1000 inserts before I could set FQSaveToCache to 1 to force the commit. I am wondering if there is a practical limit when doing n-number credit/debit lines for a given header line. Thanks for the help.

I think you should talk to your accountant first. These no reason to import all this information, just the consolidated data, or better still the open balances. As far as QODBC is concerned, the time required to process a transaction line insert gets worse the more lines there are. At all times you should not go beyond 500 FQSaveToCache INSERTS.

if I am able to take your suggestion and only import consolidated data would I still want to use the journalentrycredit/debit tables for this or would it be better to add this data to another table?

Most of us just transfer the customer and vendor details, set up the chart of accounts, enter the opening balances, and import all the unpaid invoices and bills.
