Thanks for your advice. I am new to Quickbooks and find all of your blog information very helpful.

Mark, you cannot upload inventory assembly items with Rapid Data Entry in any year of product.

I don’t know of a limit, but if I’m using this I tend to break it up into chunks instead of doing a whole big list at one time. But, I have to say, I rarely use this feature.

You can import inventory assembly items using the IIF format (file/utilities/import), but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do NOT use that method.

The best solution is to get an import tool like the Transaction Pro Importer from http://www.baystateconsulting.com, which I have reviewed elsewhere in this blog. It is the best import tool around.

Charlie, any possible way to upload inventory assembly with Rapid Data Entry feature with Premier 2011? If not, is it available with any other version or edition? Also, is there a limitation to the quantity of entries that can be added? Thanks!

Francesca -most likely. I don’t work with the Mac version. It is far behind the Windows version, but they have been working on getting it closer. Some things may never get there, though.

I’m guessing this is one of the MANY fetures that isn’t available in the MAC version of Quickbooks…

There is a bug in this program for Enterprise users that have items numbering in the thousands. When you use the Copy Down feature, you receive an error message that there is Inadequate Memory to complete this operation. There is no cancel option and your computer becomes locked up in a cycle of error messages. It is necessary to reboot the server when this happens. It is a known bug at QuickBooks, but I spent two hours on the phone with them before they asked the right person who admitted this.

I am running the Canadian version, which according to QB support here in Canada,this feature isn’t available. That’s whats funny about this whole situation.I accessed and used it once, then the option under “lists” just never came up again.
Guess it was a one time fluke.
Thanks for your reply, I was just hoping that I has missed a step or something.
Have a great day!

Lisa, I’m not clear on whether you are running the Canadian or US version. I don’t have the most current Canadian version so I can’t comment directly on that. In the US version you can access it by selecting “Lists” and then “Add/Edit Multiple List Entries” from that menu.

This is an awesome feature. I used it last week.
I’m in Canada and apparently this feature is not available in the Canadian version.
Which brings me to my question. How did I access this feature and consequently use it last week? Is there some kind of link on this site that I’m missing or is the only way to access this thorough the Lists menu in the program?
Would dearly love to be able to use this all the time.
Thanks,
Lisa

Elizabeth, when you are looking at the item list, there should be an Excel button at the bottom. You can export using that. You also have the IIF export in File/Utilities/Export, but you probably wont’ find that as useful.
