Importing Transaction Item Options

When the Item Options feature is enabled, transaction item options can be created and imported in your account. Transaction item options are custom fields that may be included in transaction line items to represent item-specific choices. When you import transaction records, you can import transaction item options along with Items sublist data.

To be available for import, transaction item options must first be set up at Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Item Options > New. The setup of a transaction item option includes selecting the types of transactions to which the item option can be applied. See Creating Custom Transaction Item Options.

The Import Assistant Field Mapping page includes item options as a flat list under the Items sublist folder. Only the item options that have been set up to apply to the type of transaction being imported are included. Each item option is prefixed with the word “Options” and is marked as a custom field.
