Which type of data is not imported when importing data into QuickBooks?

• A. All data imports automatically
• B. Data that matches the format of a field type will not be imported
• C. Data with missing values is ignored
• D. Data that does not match the format of a field type will not be imported

Answer: (D)

When importing into QuickBooks, data must conform to the expected type of each field. The import process validates every value against its field’s format, so any value that doesn’t match that type can’t be placed correctly. For example, a date field receiving plain text like “today” or a numeric field containing letters will fail the format check. QuickBooks will not import that data, to avoid corrupt or misinterpreted records. Data that does match the field types will be imported (subject to other checks like mandatory fields or duplicates). If a value is missing, whether it gets imported or not depends on whether the field is optional, but the crucial point is that non-matching formats are not imported.
