Change the customer assigned to a project in QuickBooks Online and Intuit Enterprise Suite

Learn how to change the customer assigned to a project and all its transactions in QuickBooks Online Plus, Advanced, and Accountant.

You can change the customer assigned to an existing QuickBooks Online or Intuit Enterprise Suite project to a different one. This also changes each invoice and estimate in the project to match, so think carefully before you do so. However, this doesn't automatically send notices to any new customers.
