I am a secondhand/antiquarian bookseller, currently using Desktop 2021. I have a long list of stock items (thousands) from 20 years of business. Most of them have only been used once. If I try to amalgamate items (by changing the names and merging) I get a warning that this will affect historical transactions etc, so it is something I rarely do.
However, I am about to migtrate to QB Online. As I understand it, if I use MoveMyBooks to migrate, stock information with NOT be migrated, and it looks as if I will have to add this information manually after migration. Is this correct?
If I wanted to continue as before, this would be a huge problem, involving hours of work, relisting each item
But what I actually want to do is make my life simpler for the future and start afresh with just have one stock item -- "Book" --, using the total number and average price from my current Stock Valuation Report on QB desktop to set this up. That is to say, instead of, say 1000 different items all with different purchase prices/COGS, just 1 item (x 1000) with the average price.
Is this possible? Am I thinking in the right way?
