Batch-import products and services fails everytime

You can review the accounts tied to the products and services you're attempting to import in the Chart of accounts and make it active, Gage B.

The error you've encountered usually arises due to account-related settings or mismatches during the import process.

Here's how to make an account active:

1. Go to Settings in the upper right corner.
2. Under Your Company, select Chart of accounts.
3. Click Make active next to the account name.

If the option Make active doesn't appear in the Chart of Accounts, click the small gear icon in the upper-right corner and select Include inactive to display inactive accounts.
