So this time of year that we get a lot of people asking about cleanup and creating new files. It is our recommendation that you not create a new POS file unless you want to truly start over. If the financial file is a problem, you can always create a financial file and connect your company file to it. In POS, you can delete items, customers, etc. which you can't do in QBFS. You can also export and import items if you wish to change department structure (keep in mind that reports may include both old and new departments as transactions are not able to be changed). In general, it is better to maintain the old sales and receiving information than start POS over.
