Can "Vendor" uploads be deleted and uploaded again. The upload was moved from donors "Other Name" to Vendors.

Our nonprofit went from desktop to online. Do we need a contractor or QB help? Our Vendors (4,000) have hundreds of transactions attached to them

Welcome to the Community, Respitevo.

 

I'm here to address your queries about your vendor uploads in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. I'll be laying out some scenario-based steps to determine the best options to solve this matter. 

 

Let's begin with deleting a Vendor in your QBO. You're unable to delete a Vendor, however you can make them Inactive. If a vendor is inactivated, the existing historical transactions for that Vendor are preserved but removed from the drop-down list so as not to be used during transactions such as purchase orders or bills of exchange.

 

Here's how you can inactive your Vendors:

 

  1. Go to Expenses, then select Vendors. 
  2. Marked check the Vendor you want to make inactive.
  3. Once you've chosen the Vendors, click on the Batch actions.
  4. Select Make inactive, then select Yes.

 

Moreover, if you meant by the uploads as your transactions within a specific Vendor and want to delete. It is possible, however you have to do it manually.

 

Here are the steps to take to delete transactions within a vendor:

 

  1. Go to Expenses, then choose Vendors.
  2. Select which Vendor you want to delete the transactions, then go to  Transaction List.
  3. Choose which transaction to delete. Click the drop-down button, then select Delete to erase them. 

 

You can also integrate a third-party app to delete transactions by batch. You can visit our QuickBooks App Store webpage to see available apps and choose an app that best suits your needs.

 

Furthermore, you can utilize these materials to learn more about deleting a Vendor or their transactions in QBO: 

 

 

In addition, by scanning this article, you can learn the difference between voiding and deleting transactions in QBO: Void or delete transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Can I make all Vendors inactive and then AGAIN transfer all "Other Names" in Quickbook's Premier Nonprofit Edition 2021 desktop to Customers in our new Quickbooks online. We have about 4000 entries with hundreds of transactive attached to many who are not Vendors in any compacity. They are donors

Hello office-respitevo,

 

Thank you for chiming in. Currently, QuickBooks has no option to change a name type from Other Names. Therefore, as long as it's Other Names, those can be made customers, but you can't switch vendors to another name. 

 

For more information about this, please review the article linked on how to change vendor, customer or employee name type. Let me know if you have any other questions. I will do my best to assist you!
