Import your invoices and bills to QuickBooks

Hi Christine, thanks for joining this thread - please check for any special characters or blank fields under columns marked with an asterisk - if the file is still unable to upload following this, please try splitting the file into two smaller files. Get back to us below if this doesn't fix. :)

Import your invoices and bills to QuickBooks

Hi SarahannC,

I hope you are well.

Has there by any chance been any further discussions with the software engineers in terms of increasing the number of map fields on the csv uploads for invoices?

For example, the PO number and shipping to address does not pull through from the csv file upload. However, this is quite important information and requires further manual changes once the invoices have been uploaded.

 

Thanks,

Aaron

Import your invoices and bills to QuickBooks

I'm stepping in to help you with your concern for today, gcestespaymerang.

 

Yes, you can import a list of invoices from Excel to QuickBooks Desktop EnterpriseSolutions Nonprofit 21.0.

 

Before we start, please note that you can't undo the information you import, you need to make a backup copy of your company file for future use.
 

Then, you need to install the QuickBooks Import Excel and CSV toolkit first before performing the import process. Here's how:

  1. Open the file download window for the toolkit.
  2. Select Save.
  3. Go to your Windows Desktop, then select Save.
  4. Double-click QuickBooks_Import_Excel_and_CSV.exe on your Windows desktop to open the WinZip Self-Extractor window.
  5. Select Browse.
  6. Choose the folder where you want to install the toolkit (such as your Desktop), then OK.
  7. Select Unzip to extract the contents.
  8. Click Close to close the WinZip Self-Extractor window.
  9. Open the QuickBooks Import Excel and CSV folder from the location you selected in step 6.

More about importing and exporting files in QuickBooks Desktop can be found in this article: Import or export MS Excel files.

Thank you, Charles! This was extremely helpful, the client I have been working with was able to download the guide.  They however are getting stuck on step #8; for invoices what mapping will we use?

Please tell me if there is a way to include the payment status as a column in the CSV. It would be very painful to have to mark all these payment statuses manually... we process thousands of invoices a month.
