Import inventory adjustment into QuickBooks Online

Axis

Overview

If you need to adjust the quantity of inventory items held in stock in a QuickBooks Online company file you can do that in batch using Zed Axis.

Note:  If the inventory item has been used on a memorized transaction in QuickBooks Online you will get an error when trying to adjust the quantity.  This is a limitation of QuickBooks Online that we have notified Intuit Developer support about but at the moment we do not have a way to address that.
