Edge import

Good day, @TammyM12,

I'm here to help you import your inventory items into QuickBooks Desktop.

Before importing data in QuickBooks, please make sure to back up your company file. This is an important insurance, if you lose data for any reason, you can restore the backup anytime.

To start the import process, you'll need to make sure you already enabled inventory tracking. Here's how:

1. Open QuickBooks and log in as Admin.
2. Go to the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
3. Click Items & Inventory then go to the Company Preferences tab.
4. Mark the Inventory and Purchase Orders are Active tick box.
5. Click OK when done.

After that, create your inventory accounts. To do that, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Lists menu and choose Chart of Accounts.
2. Right-click anywhere and click New.
3. Choose the Account Type. Here are the accounts you need to create types: Income Account to track sales, Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) Account, Inventory Asset Account.

Next, add your inventory items. You must use the same name, spelling, and capitalization from the file you're importing into QuickBooks.

To import, follow the steps below:
