customer management

There used to be an option to make a customer inactive.  I no longer can find that option for our 'customers'.

 

 I do the books for my HOA and we don't have 'customers' but have 'members'.  Up until recently, the two things were synonymous, that is, I manage our members according to how customers are managed in QB online.  But as the interface has evolved, members seem to be something other than customers, specifically, the ability to make them inactive.  In fact, I can no longer find members I previously made inactive.  Very confused here.

The location of things changed a bit but this was a very complete answer to my question.

 

I don't understand the distinctions between customers and members but I manage the books for an HOA and treating everyone as a 'member' seems appropriate and right.  

 

Thank You!
