Join nowComing from desktop to online pro: How can I make bulk changes to my vendors? In desktop I could import an IIF file to add to current vendors and/or use "add multiple vendors" and cut/paste from Excel to make changes to multiple vendors at a time. In QBO it seems I can only import new vendors, not import changes to current vendors (I get an error highlighting the name saying a vendor already exists and no import will happen). Any way in QBO to make bulk changes to vendors (and customers)? Thanks!

Hello miller0987,
In QuickBooks Online, the feature for bulk update of your existing vendors is unavailable at this time. I can send this as a feedback to our product developers so that they will make an assessment for future updates.
For now, you can manually edit your Vendor's details to avoid duplicates. Here's how:
Let me know if you have questions in mind. I'll around to answer. Take care.
Utilize the trial period of this 3rd party migration tool. Export the data out, modify them, and reimport back. Make sure to set some filter to avoid any duplication.

Should you need to purchase it, use promo code 20PERCENTOFF at checkout, valid until April 30th, 2020.
Thanks for the tool info! No native way within QBO however?

Simply not possible in QB.

Are there any updates on this request? This ability would be extremely helpful and it is a bit baffling QBO has yet to roll something like this out (if an update does not exist).
