IIF import item list and group items

Hello QB Community:

The item list IIF was extracted from one QB Desktop Enterprise file and imported to another QB Desktop Enterprise file.

 

Upon import, even though the setting was marked with a Y in the TOPRINT field, QB failed to mark the box on group items to "print items in group." See example (item name masked) from IIF file below.

 

Given that there are thousands of group items, the fact that the IIF did not import the field correctly is problematic.

 

Has anyone experienced this issue?

IIF import item list and group items

Yes, this is yet one more of the many bugs with the new IIF import implemented in QB 2019 and newer versions.

 

Avoid it by importing using the now-alternate and traditional - far more reliable - way. See this page for steps: BRC QuickBooks 2019 & 2020 IIF Import Changes and Recommendations
