Quickbooks Import QBI

[adam5532]

I keep a inactive category in ZenCart called "Dead Items" and move things I no longer sell to that category and then set it to inactive. This helps me to keep things a little more organized and easier to work with. Would that mess up QBI or does QB not care where something is at in my store as long as it is there?

As long as it is there it is fine.

Also, I got a little carried away with attributes when I set up the store and am re-doing it with much fewer attributes. Will removing un needed attributes also mess up QBI as well? I don't think there is a way to set attributes as inactive and I hate to have to sort through a ton on attributes that I no longer use just to find the few that I'll still need.

If you remove unneeded attributes and then try to re-import old orders that contain them, then yes there would be problems. As long as you don't try to import old orders, it isn't an issue. Generally, there is no reason to import old orders, except for people who are setting up Quickbooks for the first time and want to get all their order history into it. But this creates other issues anyway, because then you have negative inventory in QB and have to adjust it or enter the corresponding vendor purchases! In a future version, QBI will be able handle missing items by inserting a generic item in its place.

Thanks,
