I accidentally deleted a sub customer in QuickBooks online. What would happen to the transactions associated with this account? If I were to restore this account using the gear icon and choose "make active" would this restore the associated invoices and other transactions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've got you covered, @I am here.
Let me share some information on how deleting your sub-customer or customer affects your QuickBooks account.
When a customer or sub customer is deleted, you'd see a Deleted tagged beside the name of the customer or sub-customer.
Just a heads-up though, when a non-zero balance sub-customer is deleted, the system will automatically create an adjustment transaction. This will zero-out or offset the sub-customer or customer's balance.
You can view the report so you'd see the details of the adjustment transaction.
Once you reactivate the sub-customer, you'll still see the same list of transactions associated with it. However, its balance will become $0.00.

Im getting billed for two customers that I already deleted
Thanks for joining this thread, Claireviera.
If you're using QuickBooks Accountant Online and the customers you deleted were part of your wholesale discount, I'd initially recommend making sure they've also been removed from the payroll section of your plan.
Here's how:
In the event they're not displayed on your Your Subscriptions screen, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up the account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.
They can be reached while you're signed in.
Here's how:
Be sure to review their support hours so you'll know when agents are available.
I've additionally included a detailed resource about managing your wholesale discount clients that may come in handy moving forward: Manage your wholesale discount plan
If there's any questions, I'm just a post away. Have an awesome day!
I deleted customers, names i thought were duplicates. In fact they had information that got deleted also. how can i recover the information/
i don't know how to reverse the deleted transactions
Hello there, @drnpsharma.
Let's re-activate your customers and manually input their deleted information so you can keep your list organized in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
When you inactivate customers, they'll be hidden from your lists and menus. But their transactions will still be available on your reports. Then, once you've deleted some of their information, you'll have to manually enter them into their profile.
To make customers active again, here's how:
Once you're done, go ahead and edit your customers' information. The changes will be reflected in other areas of your company file, including previously sent invoices.
On the other hand, once a transaction is deleted, you're unable to reverse or restore it in QBO. However, you can recover its details using the audit log so you can re-enter it into your account. To do this, here's how:
Once you're done, re-enter the transaction using the information from the audit log with its original transaction date.
You can read this article for more details about recovering transaction details using the audit log in QBO: Use the audit log to re-enter deleted transactions.

It includes topics about sales and invoice transactions, payments management, and customer statements, to name a few.
