Having a go at the import/export data for the first time and thought it was odd that there was no Buying Price field when there is a Tax Code When Bought field.
Also thought it would be a good idea to include a checkbox to enable overwrite existing items
"Import/export data - add Buying Price field & overwrite function"
Please implement a facility to bulk update items in MYOB Essentials using the import function. I have a problem with items not being available from the drop-down list in the Expenses>New screen when adding a new expense. This is because they have been imported with a Buy Price (something missing from the sample file for imports by the way). An option to handle duplicates within the import process (and allow replace/reject) is a pretty standard requirement I believe and should be available if MYOB Essentials wants to be treated as a serious business tool.
Sorry - typo in my original post should read
This is because they have been imported WITHOUT a Buy Price (something missing from the sample file for imports by the way).
Thanks
yes, I have really do need the buy price an buy unit option for this to funtion well for my business, have spent several hours attempting to correct existing expence items only to realise that it is pointless without the buy price field in the import templates.

Thanks for the excellent suggestion. Anyone else who would like to see the buying price added to the import schema for items, please cast your vote for this idea here. In regards to updating existing items for imports, this suggestion has already been raised, and you can cast your vote on this separate thread here: http://community.myob.com/t5/MYOB-Essentials-Idea-Exchange/Bulk-update-of-items/idi-p/284343
has this been updated? I've tried importing and it still doesn't do the buy price
