Account Right Importing Items
Hi All
I am trying a test import of an inventory item and continually receive the error message;
Summary of errors
Error -4012: You must specify an expense account for tracking costs.
I began by exporting existing items into an Excel spreadsheet and copied the format for a new item then trialled importing the new item.
The COS account I am using is 51000 which is the usual COS account. I have tried with and withouth the numeric seperator i.e. 51000 or 5-1000.
Any suggestions of how to correct this error.
Thanks
Rob
Thanks for your reply
Yes, I did try with and without the hyphen but it made no difference.
What I did try was to export the existing items using every field, then I deleted the field columns (that were obviously not being used) from the spreadsheet and ended up with around 20 columns. Next I deleted all of the items except one and used this as a template for the new items I wanted to import, I then tried the import again and it worked !
I can only assume that the COS account was correct but there must have been a related field missing.
Many Thanks
Rob
