Error importing new Chart of Accounts

Hi,

 

I'm importing a new Chart of Accounts into Quickbooks Online.  I'm getting errors on a few accounts, and it's unclear what the reason could be.  I've been Googling for answers without much luck.

 

Does anyone have any ideas? The 3 red accounts below are parent accounts.

 

Thanks,

Michael

Error importing new Chart of Accounts

Hi Michael,

 

Thank you for including a screenshot and for doing research. I'll help you import your accounts.

 

Cost of Goods Sold is a default account, and importing one will create a new parent account. Try slightly changing the account name from the source file, including the other remaining accounts, and then import them again. You can rename them anyway once they are imported into QBO. You can also add them one by one since there is only a handful of them.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you need more help with your accounts. Enjoy the rest of the day!
