Import List With Blank Field

Hello, I have a list of P&S where the descriptions are incorrect. I would like to remove the descriptions altogether. However, when I import the same P&S list without a Description column in order to overwrite the P&S list without descriptions, the old descriptions remain. How can I delete the descriptions of all the P&S in bulk?

Import List With Blank Field

I see the advantage of having the option to remove the product description.  @kapp.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the message you've put in the description column is what your customers see on their sales form.  Once you've input the information, you can edit it if necessary. However leaving the description column blank is not an option.

 

If you remove the descriptions in your Excel file, they will remain visible when you overwrite them with the imported list. Alternatively, you can put a unique character in the Sales Description column to resolve your concern. 

 

Meanwhile, you can manually edit the descriptions individually if you have a limited number of products and services.

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to Sales, then select Products and services.
  2. Look for the bundle you want to edit then click Edit.
  3. From the Description column, type in your preferred description or put a special character. 
  4. Once done, click Save and close

Here's a screenshot for reference.

You can set up reorder points to monitor your inventory and get alerts when products are running low or out of stock. To learn more, check out this article:
