Products Services - Supplier not searchable

Also, looking to bulk import products and services but Preferred Supplier is not an import option.

Categories and subcatergories are not importable either contrary to what it says in the article below:

Hello there, MCooney.

Adding an option to sort or filter the items using the preferred supplier associated with the items would be great. It'll surely help you navigate QuickBooks easily, like in QuickBooks Desktop. However, it's unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

And, yes, you're also right that system won't include suppliers when importing the items. Based on the details provided in the article, we need a particular format to import them with categories. We can download the sample file to get details on what information you can import in your book. Gear icon> Import> Download a sample file.

I highly encourage sending your valuable suggestion to our product developers. They'll evaluate your idea and might add it to the product updates. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback. 

I've collected two links where you can get tips and details about handling items in the program:

• Add product and service items.
• Change product and service item types in QuickBooks Online.

If you have more concerns about QuickBooks Online, please don't hesitate to post them here. We always want to hear your product insights/suggestions. 

Thanks Sarah for confirming filtering or sorting Preferred Supplier is not an option.

I didn't need the articles you listed as I am already using those methods from which my point about preferred suppliers originated from.
