Mass changing payment terms

Hello,

I'm not sure the answer you were given was accurate.  I'm using QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021 and I am able to modify the payment terms for all customers all at once in one window versus going into each customer account one-by-one.  Just do the following:

1. Open Quickbooks
2. Click Lists > Add/Edit Mulitple List Entries
3. Scroll to the right until you reach the “TERMS” column
4. Change the top entry to the preferred term
5. Right click the entry you just changed and select “Copy Down”
6. When the changes finish propagating click Save Changes at the bottom.

You also have the ability to modify many other things in bulk.  If you don't see the item you want to modify, click the button on the top right labeled "Customize Columns" and look for the item you want to modify in bulk.  If it's in the list of "Available Columns", just selected it and click "Add >".

I tested this and it worked.  Unfortunately I haven't found a way to modify existing invoices.  It seems they will have to be modified one by one.

As a side benefit, this window will also let you modify (to some extent) other areas in bulk such as Vendors, Service Items, and Non-Inventory Parts.  Perhaps you will have more options in the Enterprise version.

I know it's been a while since you posted your question, but hopefully this can help you and others.

Are you able to mass change payment terms in the Online application?

Try to export your invoices data out to Excel, modify it, and reimport it back into QBO. You can use a migration tool to do so.
