You can import all or just selected items from your QuickBooks Desktop financial software.
Why would I import only selected items?
To select specific items to import:
Answer Yes when asked if you want to import selected items.
In the Select Items to Import dialog, make sure the check box in the Import column is selected for all items you want to import and cleared (not checked) for all items you do not want to import.
By default, all items are selected. You can use the Select All or Clear All buttons to select or clear all check boxes at once.
An easy way to select/clear check boxes is to place the focus in the Import column, then arrow up or down through the list, pressing <Spacebar> to select/clear the checkboxes.
To locate a particular item, sort by the column containing the information by which you want to search. Do this by clicking the
icon in the column header. Then type in the Search field to automatically be taken to matching records. For example, to locate an item with a sales description of "Cabinet Fixture," sort by the Sales Description column and type "cabinet" in the Search field.
To view a group of items that share common information, select Filter View. For example, if you wish to view all of your service items, you could filter by the Item Type of Service.
Filtering or sorting may reduce the number of items displayed in the Select Items to Import dialog. However, all items that have the Import check box selected will be imported, whether or not they are currently displayed on screen. Cancel the filtered view or sort by a column with an entry for all items to display all of your items again.
Select OK when finished to begin item import.
