Export to Excel

Items List: Excel to Excel

To simplify the manipulation of your item list, you can export your items into an Excel spreadsheet. This is useful for doing mass edits, entering manual inventory counts, and other database processes. Once edited in Excel, the data can be reimported back to iPoint with the assistance of an iPoint Support specialist.

The fields available on the Excel spreadsheet are:

• id: this is the unique iPoint identification number for each part. Under no circumstances should you edit this field.
• manufacturer: the manufacturer of the part
• category: the category designated for the part
• type: the type classification for the part, usually a subset of the category listed above.
• item: the Item Name as presented to customers on proposals, sales orders, and invoices.
• Part Number: the Manufacturer Part Number as it appears on Purchase Orders and vendor facing documents.

• Taxable: a 1 in this column indicates the item is taxable.
• Flag_Labor_Taxable: a 1 in this column indicates labor for the install of the item is taxable.

• account_Expense: the expense account assigned to this item in QuickBooks.
• account_Income: the income account as assigned to QB.
