Topic: Item Name exported as description

Hi Guys,
I am new to Front Accounting. I am trying to import inventory items to and to see the correct format of import, I have created an item and than exported it to see the CVS format.

What i have noticed is that "Item Name" is being incorrect exported as "Description" rather than the description it self. How can i correct this while importing items?

I am using version 2.3.24 & extension "Inventory Items CSV Import" version 2.3.0-2 authored by "Tom Hallman" & and maintained by "Joe Hunt"

TIA
Iru

Do not confuse (Sage) Pastel Accounting with FrontAccounting.

1. Check if your CoA matches the field order in the various tables when compared to the standard US New CoA.

2. Verify that you have the latest bugfixed code of the said extension that may be obtained from my unofficial GitHub repo.

FA v2.3.24 was released on April 5th, 2015. Several fixes to the core have been committed since then.

Actually the long_description field is generally not imported at all.

Sorry...   By mistake I wrote pastel rather than front accounting. I am using the latest version
