Mass change Names

Hello, KM402.

 

I know a way to change the vendor's name for multiple transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can change or edit the vendor name using the Add/Edit Multiple List Entries window. Choosing this option will affect all transactions associated with that vendor.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu.
  2. Select Add/Edit Multiple List Entries.
  3. Choose Vendor from the List dropdown.
  4. In the View dropdown, select either All vendors or Active vendor.
  5. Change the vendor's name directly under the Vendor name column.
  6. You can also click any field to change other information for that specific vendor.
  7. Once done, hit Save Changes.

 

For your reference, you can read this article for more details: Add and edit multiple customers, vendors, and items.

 

Do you require assistance in customizing your report to display only the information you require? If so, please see the following resource for a comprehensive guide: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You're welcome to post again if you have further questions or concerns. I'll be around to help you.

Thanks for your answer. 
What about entries that have NO name and I want to fill the name.
I have some accounts that have transactions with no names which I want to fill - Is there a way to do it many at once?

Thanks for getting back here, @KM402. I'm here to help you enter the corresponding names of those transactions in your account. 

 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), the option to batch edit the unnamed transactions is unavailable. You'll have to do it one by one. To start, we can run a custom report to see those entries with no names. Here's how:

 

  1. In your QBDT account, go to the Reports tab.
  2. Scroll down to the Custom Reports field and choose Transaction Detail.
  3. Once opened, set the correct date and filters based on the data you want to show.
  4. Then, click OK.
  5. From there, look for transactions that have no name and double-click it to edit.

 

For reference, feel free to check this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, the program has a compilation of helful articles that you can use as a guide in performing your tasks. Feel free to browse this page to get started: QuickBooks Help page

 

Let me know how this helps you. I'd appreciate it if you can add updates about this. Also, if there are any other QuickBooks concerns, don't hesitate to post again here. I'm just around the corner to help. Have a good one.
