Thanks for sharing an update, mel46. We're happy that we're able to help you with inactivating products. So for your further concern, I'm here to give you an answer.
The option to download an excel file with a column for deactivated products is currently unavailable.
There are formatting that needs to follow when importing your products and services. Otherwise, you'll stuck in the mapping section and unable to get through with importing your data to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
You can refer to this article for more details, especially with the formatting when importing products and services in QBO using an excel file: Import products and services into QuickBooks Online.
If you want this feature to be added in the future updates, you may send feedback to our product developer to help improve your experience. Your opinions and feedback with us will be highly appreciated. I'll show you how:
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Choose Feedback.
- Type in your product suggestions, then click Next to submit feedback.
You can visit our QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website to track the status of your submitted feedback.
I've added this article for your future reference: Group your products and services into different categories.
Moreover, if you want to export data from QBO in the future, you can check out this article: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.
Please feel free to post a response if you need further help with managing your products and services. I'll be around. Take care!
