Buy now & saveI have some products and services that I need to update the purchase description on. For example, let's say my purchase description says "Super Widget 2 pack - 20 packs per carton" and I want to update it to "Super Widget 2 pack - 10 packs per carton".
When I make the edit and click save, QBO refuses to save and instead gives me an error message.
I have tried I don't even know how many times to have support help. Clearing cache doesn't help. Opening in another browser or incognito mode doesn't help. Sharing my screen with them and having them watch while I replicate the error message over and over again doesn't help. Creating a case and having their internal team take a look and try to fix it doesn't help. This problem has been going on since September of last year and I haven't had one person able to tell me how to fix this.
I hear you, @Teodoro42. I also appreciate for taking action on performing troubleshooting steps and contacting our team to fix this issue as soon as possible. Let me direct you to the best help for this.
Before anything else, I'd like to know what specific error is shown when you try to save the edited purchase description so we'll be able to determine what resolution to give.
In the meantime, I suggest reaching out to our Live Phone Support Team again to review the issue you raised with regard to updating your purchase description. Also, I recommend providing the case number to avoid repeating the details and save you time.
I'll also share this article if you want to see what's your best sellers, on hand, the cost of goods, and more: Use reports to see your sales and inventory status in QuickBooks Online.

Hi Bryan,
Thank you for reaching out. When I try to save, a notification with an exclamation mark in a red triangle at the top appears and says "We couldn't save your item. Something went wrong. Please try again later." I have been trying again later since last September with no success.
Same with me. I have been struggling with this since December. I am unable to update purchase descriptions manually. I am also unable to Export QBO CSV, change information on that and import back into QBO without getting the "Something went wrong, try again later" message. It is very frustrating.

Hello Dandie! I appreciate you reaching out. However, similar to the original poster, I have attempted to get this resolved via QBO tech support. I continue to receive emails from the support team saying that the engineers are still working to try to fix the issue and that there isn't an estimated timeline. Meanwhile we are unable to effectively use this product. My intent in posting was with the hopes that if enough of us as users are experiencing the same issue and post alongside the original user about it that this will get someone's attention at Intuit who can see it through to completion sooner. Again, thank you for reaching out.
