Question

Import product list from Desktop to Online including VAT code

Hi Folks,

 

Having been forced to move from Desktop Pro to Online, Movemybooks has relatively successfully moved everything across in that the balances all agree on the 7 years we imported.

 

What it has done really really badly is the Product List of 1600 items or so. The 15 it has moved have been marked as Services rather than non-stock parts. The rest don't exist. What a mess.

 

Plus not one VAT code moved across on the Chart of accounts nor any supplier account number. Not good.

 

Anyway I want to import in the correct product list that I have exported from the Desktop and placed into the sample template layout that Online wants. Ideally I want to import the correct VAT code for each item rather than having to edit each one later to add the VAT code.

 

But where in the example QB Online excel is the VAT code placed? The only column that looks sensible is 'Tax on Sales'. Is that the one to use and if so what VAT codes should be used? S, Z or  20.0% S, 0.0% Z.

 

Similarly What is allowed for the Product/Service Name.

 

Desktop exports/calls them:

 

Sales:Enzymes

Sales:CHIP

Sales:Kits

Sales:Kits:Extraction

 

Is that allowable? Is there a real proper guide or helpfile for doing this?

 

Thanks

 

Duncan

We help our clients to convert data to QBO. Unfortunately since last month QBO's API has been updated, and due to this, we are not providing track inventory service. However, we can still bring inventory details like name, code, description, sales account, purchase account, sales price, purchase price, etc. As a part of the conversion, we import all the items as "non-inventory" type in QBO. After the completion of the conversion, our client needs to manually change the type non-Inventory to Inventory and add the quantity on hand manually for each item.
