I've got you covered, @sbasnett.

 

The option to import custom item fields is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. As an alternative, you'll have to copy the data from your Excel file and paste them into the given spreadsheet upon importing. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then select Item List.
  2. From the Excel drop-down, choose Import Items.
  3. Click Products I Sell and select Yes.
  4. QuickBooks will then provide a spreadsheet when you can paste your item lists. 

 

After saving your item list, you can now start importing it to your QuickBooks Desktop.

 

In addition, since you're trying to re-import your item list, it may cause duplicates. If this happens, you'll need to merge them. For more guidance, you can read through this article: Merge list entries in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You might also want to learn how to manage your items, like combining, hiding, or deleting them. This article will guide you through the process: Manage items.

 

Please let me know if you need further help importing custom item fields. I'll be standing by for your response.
