I choose wrong income account for majority of my items. This is I just realized when I was talking to some one who is been using it. I have almost 2000+ items in my quick books.
How can I update all of them at one shot. There must be an option to do this. Please share details.
I am using QuickBooks Enterprise solution.
Appreciate any responses on this.
I understand how important it is to record the transactions to the correct income account, @SriniHN. I'm happy to lend you a hand with changing the account per item in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.
Let’s go over the item one at a time through the List window, and select the correct income account. From there, you'll get the prompt to update all existing transactions. If you want to change the income account for your historical data, choose Yes. Otherwise, click No.
I've got you these helpful articles for ideas in managing your reports and other related tasks: Reports and Accounting.
You can always get back to me if you have other questions about modifying income account. I’ll be around to answer them for you. Keep safe and stay healthy.
I was able to edit one item and change the income account. What about if I have to update same for another 3000 items? Is there is anyway I can update this faster than going one after another, which can take longer time.
Also, I didn't understand why I have to do "Bring back all one time messages". I tried to do nothing happened. Also I went back again and "Bring back all one time messages" is un checked.
Thanks for the update, @SriniHN.
The option to edit your items income account by batch is unavailable. Currently, it is available for entering, voiding, and deleting transactions.
As a workaround, I suggest visiting our App center to search for an application that can help modify them in bulk.
Here's how:
I can see that having this ability to modify transactions by batch would be time-saving. With this said, I suggest submitting feedback to our Product Development Team. They look through submitted feedbacks for future updates and use those suggestions to develop changes for the product.
