The Import Items feature allows you to import inventory and stock items, or lists of services, into MYOB Essentials. Items that already exist in MYOB Essentials will not be imported.

Before you start

Before you import your item information, make sure:

your file is in the right format, or has been exported with all the default options from MYOB AccountRight or BusinessBasics. For more details, including sample import files, see Preparing to import data from other sources or Preparing to import from MYOB AccountRight v19 or earlier or BusinessBasics.
the accounts and tax codes in your items list are already set up in MYOB Essentials.

To import items into MYOB Essentials

On the Settings menu, click Import/Export. The Import/Export page appears.
Click the Items option.
Click Browse. The File Upload window appears.
Select the file containing the items you want to import, then click Open.
Click Import. If all of the imported items’ tax codes and accounts exist in MYOB Essentials, a message appears displaying the number of items that were successfully imported.
If any of the imported items use accounts or tax codes that do not exist in MYOB Essentials, the Item Code Mapping window appears.
1. For each item in the list, click the Allocate Me fields and select which MYOB Essentials accounts or tax codes to allocate the item to.
2. When you have allocated tax codes and accounts to each of the items, click Import. A window appears, displaying the number of items that were successfully imported.
