Utilize the trial period of this 3rd party migration tool. Export the data out, modify them, and reimport back. Make sure to set some filter to avoid any duplication.

Should you need to purchase it, use promo code 20PERCENTOFF at checkout, valid until April 30th, 2020. 

Thanks for the tool info! No native way within QBO however?

Simply not possible in QB.

Has there been any update for this subject?  We are needing to make bulk changes to vendors and hoping that product development made some changes?

Thanks for following up on this thread, GRbhaso.

I use Enterprise for multiple companies.  I need to know how to make Class changes to a large group of invoices.  

Thanks for asking us here in this forum, @TruckingEnterprise.

We can use the Reclassify Transactions tool to makes changes on your classes individually or all at once. 

I'll show you how:

1. Choose a transaction or Select All, then mark the  Account to checkbox to reclassify by account.
2. Click the dropdown arrow next to Account to, then find the account where you want to move the transactions.
3. Select the Class to checkbox to reclassify by class.
4. Select the dropdown arrow next to Class to, then select a new class for the transactions.
5. Click Reclassify.

For additional reference, you can visit this link should you need to find and correct transactions that have been assigned to incorrect accounts or classes.

You can bookmark this article in case you need some steps to filter, sort or total reports by Class in the future. 

Feel free to post again if you need more help in reclassifying your transactions. We're always around to be your QuickBooks guide. 

Are there any updates on this request? This ability would be extremely helpful and it is a bit baffling QBO has yet to roll something like this out (if an update does not exist).

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community, userUser212.

The ability to make bulk changes to vendors is currently unavailable, and I understand how important this feature is in running your business. With this, I'll ensure you can send feedback so our product developers can consider adding the feature in the next updates.

Please know that our engineering team is aware of this feature request and is reviewing implementing it in the future. However, I still recommend going to the Gear icon in QBO and selecting Feedback. This way, you can make a further request for the ability to make bulk changes to vendors. Any suggestions are forwarded to our engineers to be considered in future updates.

Additionally, your valuable feedback goes to our Product Development team to help improve your experience in QBO. You can track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

Has there been an update to this request? This has been a request for years; per this thread. We are running into the same issue and have two QBO instances. 

I see you want to make bulk changes to your vendors, Chantal. I'll provide updates and offer a workaround to help you move forward.

Our product development team thoroughly reviews feature requests before implementing them. There's no update yet for when the functionality to make bulk changes to vendors will be available.

I recognize the importance of this feature for your business needs, so I recommend sending feedback to our product development team. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
2. Type in your valuable suggestions and recommendations. 
3. Select Next to submit.
    

Always remember that your input matters. You can continue tracking your recommendations through our QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website. 

In the meantime, you can manually edit your vendor information in the Expenses menu. Please see the attached screenshot for visual reference. 

Additionally, you can explore third-party apps that offer the functionality to make bulk changes as an alternative solution. 

To locate a third-party app in the Apps menu:

1. Hover over the Apps menu from the left panel.
2. Click the Find Apps tab, then type in the keyword. 
3. Once done, you can choose from the lists that suit your business needs. 
    

Moreover, you can run and print the Vendor Contact List report, which contains all the intricate details you modify. 

That should ensure you can make the required modifications to your vendor details. I'm always around to help if you have additional queries.
