Can I link the preferred supplier when uploading Products and Services in Quickbooks Online via Excel?

I am uploading products (+/-1000) via Excel in bulk and want to also link the individual products with a preferred supplier. Individually I can link it, but cannot seem to do it with the upload.  Doing it manually will simply be too time consuming.

Thanks for checking in with us.

 

I understand how important it is for your company to bulk assign individual products with a preferred supplier. This option, however, is not available in QuickBooks Online (QBO). We'll need to do it one by one in the program. We see consumer feedback as an opportunity to improve the numerous features of our products. I'd recommend giving our engineers direct feedback. They may look into this suggestion and incorporate it into future updates. Let me demonstrate:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Hit Feedback.
  3. Type in your recommendation in the Share your feedback field.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

 

Furthermore, you can visit his page to stay up to date on the latest software improvements and enhancements with QBO: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online. You can check out this article on how to import a list of your products and services from Excel or to QBO: Import products and services into QuickBooks Online.

 

You'll want to check for a third-party application that can help you with this one. Check out this link for a list of QuickBooks-compatible apps: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/. We can also do it in QBO by following the steps below:

 

  1. Go to Apps on the left side menu.
  2. Search for the app in the Find apps to streamline your work field.
  3. Look for an app that supports the Batch feature.

 

Any questions about integrating the app into your Online account should be directed to the app's third-party provider. Also, to assist you in managing your account and growing your business with QBO, I recommend visiting one of our support websites: QuickBooks Help Articles. It includes topics about account management, banking, and expenses, to name a few.
