Why have my clients been deleted or made inactive in Quickbooks Online?

How do I restore my clients in QB Online? I My business has been in hiatus the last 6 months due to a family crisis and now I am ready to resume my business. I logged into my QB Online account to update things, and my client list is no longer there. It shows(deleted) next to an invoice in sales. Has QB revised and changed things? How do I restore all my clients without having to enter over a 100 clients manually?

Why have my clients been deleted or made inactive in Quickbooks Online?

Welcome to the Community forum, astyrianmts. I'm here to assist you with reactivating your inactive client in QuickBooks Online.

 

In QuickBooks Online, clients can appear as deleted or inactive due to various reasons. When clients are marked as deleted or inactive, it typically means they have been made inactive in the system. This status is often a result of merging duplicate clients, where one client is made inactive during the merging process.

 

To restore your clients in QuickBooks Online without the need to manually re-enter them, follow these steps below:

 

  1. On the left pane, click Sales.
  2. Select the Customers tab.
  3. Click the Gear icon above the ACTION icon.
  4. Put a mark next to Include inactive.
  5. Find the customer and click the Make active link in the ACTION column.
