Hi, In chart of accounts I need to reactivate a number of accounts, How can make this using batch action?

Mistakenly I inactivate 102 account in the chart of accounts using batch action (make in active button). I need to reactivate these account but there is no batch action for reactivate? is there any other way instead of activate one after one account?

Hi, In chart of accounts I need to reactivate a number of accounts, How can make this using batch action?

Reactivating inactive accounts in the Chart of Accounts (COA) in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is a manual process that requires careful attention. Adnan, I'd like to elaborate on how this works.

 

In QBO, each inactive account must be reactivated one at a time. While this process can be time-consuming, it ensures that users carefully review each account before any modifications are made. By requiring individual approval for the reactivation of accounts, QuickBooks helps to ensures users are fully aware of the implications of reviving each account.

 

To make the account active again, here's how:

 

1. Navigate to the Gear icon, then proceed to Chart of Accounts.

2. Click the Gear icon beside the printer icon, then select Include Inactive.

3. Find the account you want to use again.

4. Hit Make active.

 

For further guidance, please refer to this article: Make an account inactive on your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition, to maintain the accuracy of your financial records, consider reviewing this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

This careful process enhances the management of financial data and improves the accuracy of financial reporting. Should you need more help or have any questions, feel free to reach out. We are dedicated to ensuring your QuickBooks Online experience is efficient and beneficial.
