Is there a limit to the number of vendors that show when categorizing transactions? I have 335 vendors but only the first few dozen are available in the payee drop down.

Hi there, heather-rhoades.

Let me welcome you first to the Online Community. In QuickBooks Online, there’s no limit to the number of vendors that will show in the Payee drop-down.

The suppliers' names will not display if they’re inactivated. I suggest, going to the Vendors page and then check the status.

Here’s how:

1. Press the Expenses menu on the left panel to select Vendors.
2. This will open the page where you’ll see the complete list of suppliers.
3. From there, click the Gear icon above the Action column and then mark the box for Include inactive.
   

After performing these steps, all the vendors' names will show on the list including the inactive ones. If you want to change the status, simply click the Make active link.

By following the resolution, all the suppliers' data will display on the Payee drop-down. I'm also attaching a link to a video tutorial that covers handling supplier information: How to Manage Your Vendors List: Adding, Editing, & Removing.

Additionally, this article provides an overview of the number of lists you can add to your company. Simply go to the What are the file size and feature limits on QuickBooks Online section to view the complete information: QuickBooks Online file size and feature limits.
