How do you clear entries from product fields and save the product with those fields cleared?

Hello there, TEAM666.

 

Thanks for getting back to us. I'm here to share information about editing products and services in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

I attempted to reproduce this on my test account, and I'm obtaining the same result as you. It appears that this is functioning as intended.

 

I can see how having the option to remove the entries when editing products and services would be helpful for you and your business. I suggest sending your feedback directly to our product developers, as they are constantly seeking ideas to enhance QBO.

 

Here's how to submit feedback:

 

  1.  In QBO, go to the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then select Next to submit feedback.

Please leave a comment below if you have additional questions about this or anything else. I'm more than willing to assist. Keep safe.

How do you clear entries from product fields and save the product with those fields cleared?

It's good to see you here in the Community, @TEAM666. I'm here to help you delete entries from the Products and Services page.

 

You can manually remove the product details in the sales forms you're currently using or in the item itself to get your product field clear. I'll gladly input the steps for each solution that I've provided.

 

  1. Open the particular Invoices.
  2. In the Product/Service line item, clear the product details.
  3. Once done, click Save.

 

I’ve added screenshots for visual reference.

 

Feel free to visit this article for more information: Change the account for a product/service item.

 

For additional information, you can click this article: Remove or merge a product or service. This also provides steps on how you can make a product or service inactive and reactivate it again.

 

Let me know if you need additional details, I'm always right here to help. Thank you and stay safe!

Hi TEAM666,

 

Thank you for the detailed information you've provided. 

 

I've got some steps to help fix the issue when trying to save new product details. First, sign in to your QuickBooks Online account using a private browser. This helps isolate the issue since it doesn’t store data in the cache. Here are the following keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL + Shift + P
  • Google Chrome: press  CTRL + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: press CTRL + Shift + N
     

If it works, please clear your browser's cache and restart your browser right after. Then, go to Products and Services list and try to clear or remove the Preferred Supplier
