This plug-in offers you two more ways to handle importing orders
into Quickbooks which contain Attributes!
Proving there is more than one way to skin an attribute :)
Natively, QBImport handles Attributes by utilizing Quickbook's Sub-Items.
This plug-in allows QBImport to handle Attributes without using these sub-items.
With the Convert Attributes plug-in, you have a choice
of two different "modes" to handle your Attributes....
Mode 1:
In this mode, the Convert Attributes plug-in performs the following functions:
1. Appends Attribute's Code to the Main Item's Description
2. Adds Attribute's Cost to the Main Item's Cost
3. Removes Attribute line.
For example, an order of:
| QTY | CODE | Description | Price |
| 1 | ShirtA | One Cool Shirt | $12.95 |
| | Lg | | $2.00 |
Would be converted like this:
| QTY | CODE | Description | Price |
| 1 | ShirtA | One Cool Shirt - Lg | $14.95 |
This allows you to import the item into Quickbooks as a single line item.
All orders for "ShirtA" will be imported to Quickbooks as item "ShirtA",
no matter what attributes are added to the shirt.
The Attribute codes are added to the item's description (so you'll know
which shirt to ship), and the price for the added option is included in
the main item's price.
Mode 2:
In this mode, the Convert Attributes plug-in performs the following functions:
1. Appends Attribute's Code to the Main Item's Code
2. Appends Attribute's Code to the Main Item's Description
3. Adds Attribute's Cost to the Main Item's Cost
4. Removes Attribute line.
For example, an order of:
| QTY | CODE | Description | Price |
| 1 | ShirtA | One Cool Shirt | $12.95 |
| | Lg | | $2.00 |
Would be converted to :
| QTY | CODE | Description | Price |
| 1 | ShirtALg | One Cool Shirt - Lg | $14.95 |
You may optionally configure a "separator" when adding attribute codes
to the main item codes. So, if you set a dash ( - ) as the separator, you would get:
| QTY | CODE | Description | Price |
| 1 | ShirtA-Lg | One Cool Shirt - Lg | $14.95 |
This allows each Main Item/Attribute combination to be imported to QB
as Unique Items. This is very useful for those who use Manufacturer Codes
which follow this same scheme to easily sell different versions of the same
products using Attributes.
For example, say a manufacturer sells a button in 3 colors, and the
manufacturer codes for these are:
56301
56302
56303
Where "563" is the "Button" designation, and the last two digits
represent the "color"... 01 = Black, 02 = Red, 03 = White
You would then simply sell a "Button" with code "563", and make the user
choose the color with an Attribute...Code: 01 for Black...and so on.
Then, Convert Attributes will combine these codes for you before you
send the order to Quickbooks :)
