Can I add two alternative part numbers for each product in Quickbooks online ?

Thanks for coming here today, eliasdehmes.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you're only able to add one SKU when adding an inventory item. This is to secure an accurate information when tracking your inventories.

Learn more about managing SKU's in QBO through this article: Add inventory products in QuickBooks Online.

While we continue to make your experience with us even better, I encourage you to visit our QuickBooks Blog to be updated with the recent developments made in QBO.

Let me know if you have any follow-ups or other questions. I'm always here to help. Wishing you a good one.

Yes, with a work around

You do have to stock just the main inventory item as intuit stated, but

you can create a bundle item, name it as the alternate name, list the main item in the bundle, and set the bundle to not print the item(s).  Use that item for sales under that name

Can I do that with many items at the same time when I import my products list by excel ? 

Thanks for getting back to us, @eliasdehmes.

As of now, we're unable to import bundle item from Excel to QBO. You'll want to create a bundle item inside your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. Let me show you how.

Go to the Gear icon.

1. Select Product and Services.
2. Click New, select Bundle.
3. Add the items under the PRODUCT/SERVICE column.
4. Fill in the details and click Save and close once done.

Here's an article you can read for reference: Add inventory products in QuickBooks Online.

You got me here to help you get this sorted out, Denford.

I've got an option you may wish to consider to get rid of the error message. You'll want to add an indication so QuickBooks will think that they are different entries/products. Please see screenshot below:

Once done, try uploading a file to Excel again to see if it works. Otherwise, you may contact our Customer Care Support to further assist you with this. They have available resources that can do a screen-share with you to better assist you. You can contact them through this link: Contact the QuickBooks Online Customer Support team

Please let me know how it works. I want to make sure this is taken care of.

Hello Denford

I have the same problem, I work for a cell company too. Did you solve the tracking number issue? and if so,  ow did you do it?
