QuickBooks 2019 Professional desktop. I created a new payment term with incorrect description and want to delete it but can't find an option to delete or modify the term. It has never been applied to an estimate or invoice. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It's nice to have you here on the Community page, @ConnectIT.

 

Yes, you can delete a payment term in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). I can show you how.

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop file, then select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists from the Lists menu.
  2. Click on Terms List.
  3. Look for the payment term you want to remove, then tap on Make Terms Inactive.

If you want to reactivate terms in the future, you can click on Show Inactive Terms from the Terms drop-down, then select Make Terms Active.
