What are some helpful tips to know when importing Cash Purchases into QuickBooks Online with Transaction Pro Importer?

 

RESOLUTION

 

Below are some helpful tips to keep in mind regarding the most common issues that occur when importing Cash Purchases into QuickBooks Online with Importer.

 

• When importing a Cash Purchase, the following fields are required (at minimum).
  • RefNumber
  • BankAccount (General Ledger Bank Account Name or Number)

 

• If a Cash Purchase transaction has multiple distribution lines on it, repeat the same value on every line for the Reference Number (e.g. a transaction ID or cash purchase number) to allow Importer to know to group the multiple lines onto one Cash Purchase.

 

• Importer supports both Account Numbers and Account Names. However, only include either the lowest Sub-Account Number or the entire Account Name in the import file, not both.

 

• If importing Account Numbers, on the Preview window of Importer, click OPTIONS and select the option to ENABLE ACCOUNT NUMBERS ON TRANSACTIONS.

 

• These fields will become required if using Products or Services on the Item Tab: LineItem, LineQuantity, and either LineUnitPrice or LineAmount.

 

• These fields become required if using Expense Accounts on the Accounts Tab:  ExpenseAccount and ExpenseAmount.
