Question

Is there a setting to change to update product prices from the sale receipt page

We use Quickbooks Simple Start online and saving products as non stock items as stock tracking is not required.

 

We recently updated some of our prices as cost prices had increased.  We now want to update the selling prices as we enter the updated price when creating a sales receipt. Is this even possible or do we manually have to enter the prices individually through the Products page as others have complained about in other forums.

 

Is it also correct that we cannot download a copy of the products, and the data to a spreadsheet, update the prices and then upload it back without creating a duplicate product. If so it seems a bit silly that we are stuck to manually adjusting prices.

Hello SteveLane, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

If you go into the product and service section and update/edit the information in there, it should change going forward for you so the correct prices shows up and you dont need to then manually change it going forward.

I get that, but its a long winded way to update many hundred prices. Is that the only way of doing it? In this day and age there must be a better way for a paid for product.

 

It would make more sense to update the prices when entering the product into a sales receipt as we already have to enter the new price. Save lots of clicks, and save lots of time. Should be simpler to do as well with just a small bit of code to update the database whilst saving the sales receipt.

 

It was such a simple thing to do I was hoping to have missed a setting somewhere.

No reply from the quickbooks team. Shame as apart from this and a few other areas 

 

Others have complained about this very feature and still nothing is done to correct what is obviously something that users want to see updated.
