Why might I not want to import QuickBooks items?

Financial Exchange Overview | Customize Financial Exchange | FAQs

There may be good reasons to not import your QuickBooks items, or to import only some of the items.

Why you might not want to import:

- Item information in your financial software is not current: If you have a large number of outdated inventory items in QuickBooks, you might not want this data transferred to Point of Sale. If this is the case, you might want to take some time to clean up your QuickBooks item list by updating older records and deleting or inactivating unused ones. You can always import these items later.

- QuickBooks items not defined to take advantage of advanced inventory features of Point of Sale: Such as grouping your items into styles (a Pro feature). Since QuickBooks financial software does not have similar features, it may be easier to start fresh by manually entering your items in Point of Sale in order to take full advantage of these features.

Warning: Not Importing and then Adding the Same Items to Point of Sale
