    I understand the significance of having the cost-related fields when importing products into QuickBooks Online (QBO), komik37. Let me provide you with some insights into how importing works.

     

    When you import products into QBO, you'll need to map the field for purchase costs so that it is present in your file upload. Since the file does not have this column, consider manually adding it to your Excel file to capture cost-related information effectively. This serves as an effective workaround to ensure accurate financial tracking.

    Thank you for replying. 

    here is a list of all the steps I did:

     

    1- I manually entered a product on QuickBooks online, making sure to enter information in every fields associated with costs.

    2- I downloaded this product to a CSV file.

    3- I populated this file with my products information. I have 100+ products.

    4- When I tried to upload the batch file, the only field options were related to typical product information. No fields were available to be map to costs, even though I have these columns in my document. 

    I have searched and read a lot of articles about importing products. But I did not find anything with this particular issue.

    Hello komik37. Are you able to see the cost column while using a private/incognito browser window?
