Hi Blueskies2810 

 

This is not a file wide setting, done on Item basis. If using I inventory you must set 3 accounts, same as on screen when setting I Inventory. Don't use dashes in account number.

 

Regards

Gavin

    I have done that.  I have 3 accounts.  Cost of Sales, inventory and income.  No dashes.

      Hi Blueskies2810 

       

      Provided those accounts exist in your file, and these Items Numbers do not exist, that should work. If not and you use auto match, manually check all fields matched correctly before doing the import.

       

      Regards

        That is what is weird. I have been importing for years and since the latest update it no longer works.
