Import Tool will use the template to import data into QuickBooks Point of Sale.

General guidelines on using this workbook:

You do not need to complete all three sheets to enable data import. As an example, you can input information for customers
only, or for both customers and vendors, or for customers, vendors, and inventory.

If you want to define a particular data item, be sure to fill in the required field(s) highlighted in bright green. For customers, as
an example, the customer’s last name or company is required to define a customer.

If you leave a required field blank, the Data Import Tool will not create a corresponding item in QuickBooks Point of Sale or
import any information associated with the item.

If you leave a non-required field blank, the Data Import tool will import the item but may make assumptions about that
particular item. For example, if you enter “Smith” for a customer’s last name but leave the “Accept Checks?” field blank, the
tool will assume “yes”, that you do accept checks from Smith. You can learn more about the specific assumptions that the
tool applies for blanks by reading the comments for each column (see below to locate comments).

Each column header on the customer, vendor, and data inventory sheets includes detailed explanation in a comment box.
Place your cursor over the column header cell to view these comments. Comments help explain the type of information
desired, clarify what happens if you leave a field blank, and define constraints such as the number of characters that can be
transferred in this field.
