I can help you with that, @ar8.
You can easily make a supplier active again with the following steps:
- Go to Expenses, then select Suppliers.
- Click on the small Gear icon at the upper-right side.
- Mark the checkbox for Include inactive.
- Then click the Make active link under the Action column.
That's it. Your supplier is now active again in QuickBooks.
