Importing Updates to products pricing - won't complete, won't error, just keeps giving the spinning dots

So the boss did some importing of stuff and mostly everything made it in, but he had issues...and in double checking several items have incorrect pricing.  So since all the sku's are already in QBO, he provided me a new csv of just part#'s and prices, JUST to correct the pricing... i've ensure it's 999 items (to keep it under the 1000 line max for importing..  Yesterday when i tried to directly import it, it gave errors and wouldn't import stuff...i then realized i had inventory as a type but hadn't set up the sales account for it, so since they were all ALREADY previously in QBO i removed the type inventory and literally just left the part# and the price, and mapped it accordingly...but it simply will not go...it just says spinning and spinning... no errors no nothing...and i've let it sit and sit and sit, and it never seems to stop, short of QBO automatically timing out and logging me out... but the import seems to not be successful, or at least i get to messages EITHER WAY, nothing saying success AND nothing saying error... What now??

Importing Updates to products pricing - won't complete, won't error, just keeps giving the spinning dots

I appreciate your effort in providing screenshots. Going back and forth can be time-consuming, especially when importing product pricing in your QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let's work together and perform some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

 

Sometimes, browsers can become bogged down with frequently accessed resources like cache and cookies, leading to unexpected behavior.

 

To fix this, open your account through an incognito window to rule out the possibility of a webpage issue. You can accomplish this by utilizing the following keyboard shortcuts: 

 

  • Safari: Shift + ⌘ + N
  • Google Chrome: Press Ctrl + ShiftN
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

If that works fine using a private browser, go back to your original browser and clear its cache so the system can start fresh. If the problem persists, I suggest switching to a different supported browser.

 

In addition, if you'd like to learn more about grouping products and services, here's a resource you can browse: Group products and services into different categories in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, you can check out this article for more tips and resources while working with QuickBooks in the future: Help articles, video tutorials, and more.

 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns about importing your product price in QBO. We're always here to make sure that we get this sorted out.

Importing Updates to products pricing - won't complete, won't error, just keeps giving the spinning dots

Thanks, but already tried the clearing of cache and cookies with logout and log back in...several times....and the browser is the only browser we use and it hasn't been a problem at all...so it's not the browser...it's got to be something with QB and their servers...has to be...but the question is how to get that issue identified and troubleshooted and resolved....

 

Thanks for the effort, but that is not the solution... hoping for more ideas or others that have experienced this (including the completed attempts to delete cookies and clear the cache) that have figured it out...

 

So far i'm not AT ALL impressed with QBO.  Desktop was far more functional in MANY Aspects...since switching to QBO, my work life has been a total HELL.

@BigRedConsulting  I think the "word salad generator" app may need an update; the vocabulary is faltering.

@FishingForAnswers 

Yes, I recognize the importance of using an accounting system that is available all of the time, doesn't have a steady stream of new bugs, and doesn't replace features with new features that have diminished capabilities.

 

On the other hand, rest assured that this is most important to us at Intuit. Really, though, we don't know what that means.

 

At this time we do offer a product called QuickBooks Desktop which has these properties, but rest assured we don't want you to buy it. Instead of that, we now offer QuickBooks Online, a products that is unstable and often doesn't work, but... it's online! Isn't that cool?

 

Rest assured, we are considering the idea of making QuickBooks Online as robust as QuickBooks Desktop, but it just seems rather hard to do, so we probably won't.  Please know, though, that we don't really want to you buy Desktop. Sure, we still sell it, but good luck finding a link for it! On the other hand, rest assured that we are here to help you with all of the issues you'll have with QuickBooks online. We have a large library of answers that, rest assured, we are very good at copy/pasting and sometimes they even address the question we didn't read or understand! In most cases we know that every issue is the browser's fault anyway.
