Importing inventory category and sub-items

[cviller]

I'm a wholesaler and I'm trying to import a list of products from my supplier. We are using quickbooks online plus - specifically to be able to manage inventory. The products are apparel so each product has multiple variations. Based on the available documentation (https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-ca/products-services/import-products-and-services-fro...), it seems like it should be possible to import products with sub types (sizes, color, etc.). However, when I import, there is no way to select what fields should be category vs item variations.

How do I format the excel to correctly take advantage of sub-types?

Hi cviller, 

I'm happy you're using QuickBooks to manage your products and services. I'd be happy to point you towards the right direction with making sure you're able to import the sub-types. 

When importing your sample file, QuickBooks provides a sample file which shows you how to correctly format your Excel file. To find this sample file, click on Gear the icon > Import Data > Products and Services > Download a sample file. I encourage you to use the sample file as a reference point. 

In case you have other questions, feel free to contact our support team using this link here.

Does that file have what I'm asking for?
