Thanks for asking this, sparctina.
Yes, you definitely can. I'd love to show you how to reactivate your vendors by following the steps below:
Also, inactivating a vendor won't delete the previous transaction under it. If the transactions were missing, you can check the Audit Log to track if there are changes made in your account.
To do that:
Learn more about using the Audit Log Feature through this article: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.

What if there is no make active icon?
There are times that local internet cache files stored in the system can cause unexpected behavior in the product, bellehunt.
When a browser's cache storage is full or corrupted, it can cause error messages or sometimes can cause unusual browser behavior in QuickBooks Online. Let's rule this out by using an incognito or private browser:
Here's how:
If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear the cache to delete those temporarily stored files and browsing history. The overtime collection of data can create corruption, however, removing this should fix the issue. You can also use other supported, up-to-date browsers to roll out the possibility of a browser-related issue.
For more details, check out this article: Make a customer inactive and then active.
That should point you in the right direction. Please reach out in the comments to let me know how it goes or if you have any follow-up questions. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
Thank you for the quick response , unfortunately it did not work is there another way to fix this issue? I have added a pic of what it looks like
Hello again, @bellehunt.
I appreciate following the solution shared by my peer and letting us know the outcome. Let me help ensure your concern about reactivating your vendor is taken care of.
In situations like this, we’ll have to access the company to determine why the Make active menu is missing in your company. Performing this process requires us to collate personal data to open an account.
That said, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Care Team. They have tools like screen-sharing that will help check the root cause and find a permanent solution to this issue.
This reference will guide you on how to manage your vendor’s status. From there, you’ll also learn about editing, deleting, and restoring accounts, terms, classes, products, or services.
Additionally, the following resource outlines the complete steps on how to keep your accounts, customers, and vendors organized: Merge duplicate accounts, customers, and vendors in QuickBooks Online.
Reach out to me again if you still need assistance with managing your vendor’s status. I’ll get back to help and make sure this is taken care of for you. Have a great day and stay safe.
