I have a payee which is listed in my expenses and I have to delete the payee and all the line items associated with it

Hi usermotola,

I'm happy to see you reaching out to Community for assistance with deleting a payee and associated expenses.  QuickBooks Online is a versatile and user friendly accounting software with everything you need to reach your daily goals, and get back to what you love most.  Based on the description you've provided, it appears you may have an expense that's associated with the wrong payee for which you need to edit it, perhaps delete the expense completely, remove line items only, or delete a supplier from your account.  I'd be happy to cover all of these for you!

Here's how to edit the expense to reflect the proper payee:

1. Select Expenses from the left menu 

2. Locate the expense you need to edit and click View/Edit in the Action column

3. Use the drop-down arrow for the Payee to update the transaction

4. When complete, hit Save and Close in the bottom right

Note:  To remove items from the list, click on the Trash icon to the far right 

To completely delete the expense, follow these steps:

1. From the Expenses, locate the expense you want to delete

2. Click the drop-down arrow in the Action column and select Delete

3. Hit Yes to confirm

When it comes to suppliers, you'll only have the option to make them inactive by following these steps:

1. From the expenses, click on the Supplier tab

2. In the Action column, click on the drop-down arrow and choose Make Inactive

Note:  You can hide inactive suppliers by clicking on the small Gear above the Action column and uncheck the box to Include Inactive.

For your reference, here's an article to help you enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.
