Trying to enter fixed asset, created accounts with names that can't be deleted or used for the asset, cant figure how to delete those and start anew entering asset or fix

no access to fixed asset manager (FAM) on this account, how do we delete the wrong ones; more important how do we create a new fixed asset that won't come back with an error

Hello there, @awolfdc.

 

You can delete accounts in QuickBooks Online that are no longer in use.

 

Deleting an accounts doesn’t erase your transaction in your QuickBooks Online. 

 

To delete an account, here’s what you’ll need to do.

 

  1. Click on the gear icon at the top.
  2. Under Your Company section, select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Look for the account that you want to delete.
  4. In the Action column, choose the drop-down then click Delete/Make inactive.
  5. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete.

 

Once done, you can now set up an asset account in QuickBooks Online. to track the current value and depreciation of your assets or the things that you own. 

 

Here’s an article about how to delete an account and restore it for more detailed information.

 

Please feel free to come back in if you have further questions about deleting accounts in QuickBooks Online. Have a nice day!

FAM is only in desktop, as are a lot of other functions.  a non partisan comparison of QBO vs QB desktop

(cost comparisons are at the end of the article)

 

use the gear menu>chart of accounts, click new

select the account type

and then select the detail type (that intuit invented)

then name it
