Business validation error: This employee cannot be deleted because it is used in unbilled charges.

I'd be glad to help you edit the unbilled transaction so you can delete the employee, lorry2tracee.

 

You can run the Uninvoiced Charges or Unbilled Charges report to check if the employee is used in one of the transactions. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Look for Uninvoiced Charges or Unbilled Charges report. 
  3. Check if the employee that you're trying to delete is used in one of the transactions.
  4. Click the transaction to open it.
  5. Uncheck the Billable box.
  6. Click Save and Close.  

 

Once done, delete the employee to check if that works. Let me also share these articles in case you might need them when managing your employees in QBO:

 

 

You can also reply to this thread if you have follow-up questions. We'll make sure everything is sorted out.
