Hello,
This is an interesting question. Importing your data to QuickBooks Online is an awesome feature that saves you time and effort. When importing invoices, the system will recognize the columns that are named according to the QuickBooks Online defaults. These fields will be mapped automatically if the following column headers are used (the fields marked with * are mandatory):
- *Invoice number
- *Customer
- *Invoice date
- *Due date
- Item amount
- Item tax code
- Terms
- Service Date
- Item (Product/Service)
- Item Description
- Item Quantity
- Item Rate
- *Item Amount
- Memo
If you use different column headers, then you'll have to manually map the fields while importing the transactions.
