Does saving a budget without showing non zero line items work? Every time I save one, it still shows the non zero line items when I reopen it.

Hello Yellow_Submarin,

These items are part of your budget report regardless if they have associated amounts or not. I'd recommend sending feedback to our Product Development Team. You can click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and select Feedback. They'll always consider your ideas for product updates.

You might want to export the budget report to Excel and manipulate the line items from there.

1. Open the budget report and select the Export option (paper icon).
2. Select Export to Excel.

You can also use video in this article as your navigation guide: How to Export Reports to Excel.

I'd be around if you need anything else.

Hello, Yellow_Submarin.

Allow me to share some information concerning saving a budget report for non zero line items in QuickBooks Online.

I can definitely see how this option would be useful when saving a budget report. However, this feature isn't currently offered in QuickBooks Online. As a team with a massive roadmap, we have to pick new features based on the value they’ll add to the most users possible. I encourage you to send feedback regarding features and options you'd like to see implemented in future product updates.

Can you provide a screenshot so I'll be able to get a better view of the issue? It also helps me make sure that I provide you with the best solution.

I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a great rest of the week.

I'll make sure this reach to our engineers so they can investigate and work for a fix, Yellow_Submarin.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Please let us know if you need anything else.

There are line items in my budget that have a zero.  On the Company>Planning & Budgeting>Set up Budgets window.  I would like to clear them out so they are blank instead of zero.  I keep clearing them and saving and they keep coming back to haunt me.  Since they won't clear in the budget set up, they also won't clear in the "Budgets vs Actual" reports.  Specifically, if it matters, the accounts I am struggling with are head accounts that have subaccounts, that would not have a budget of their own.  Is that possibly why they won't clear?  If I start a brand new budget, the zeroes are also still there, unless I start a new budget without a Class feature.  It seems like the issue is either stemming from the Subaccount/Main Account situation or the Class feature option.  I am wondering if we can start honing in on this issue with some more specific details?

Hi TCVancouver,

Thanks for joining us here.  I can see the benefit of removing the zero's from your budgeting reports.  However, these are set by default.  I encourage you to submit feedback to our Development Team for future updates.  

Feel free to reach out again, should any other questions come to mind.  We're always happy to assist!
