Question

Clear all linked time entries from the invoice in bulk

With the new invoice format, the 'Clear All' / 'Clear and keep' option for linked time entries has been removed. 

 

Is there any way to 'bulk' clear time entries from the face of the invoice without:

1. having to select and clear each line item; 

2. having to unlink the time entry and it appearing as unbilled.

Thanks for becoming part of the Community, AnzelleS.

 

I can certainly understand how a calendar feature could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

 

You can also submit your own feature requests while signed in.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Use the Gear icon, then go to Feedback.
  2. Enter your suggestion(s) in the Have feedback? window.
  3. If necessary, attach a file with your Camera icon.
  4. Select Next.

 

Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.

 

For the time being, time entries linked with invoices will have to be removed from each invoice manually. After doing so, they'll show up as unbilled, since they're no longer linked with transactions. Billable expenses can be removed from your Unbilled Activity list if necessary, this way they won't appear on it.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about working with time entries which may come in handy moving forward: Invoice customers for project expenses

 

I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have a great Tuesday!

Have you figured this out? I have time that is "converted" (quickbooks term) I need to reverse them to unconverted and do not see a path to accomplish this task. I can't delete these time entries as it's impractical to re-enter all the information. Kindly reply 

I need to invoice my client with corrections.

Hello there.

 

I appreciate you chiming in on this thread. You can directly delete the invoice with the time entries to make it unconverted. I'll be glad to walk you through the process.

 

In QuickBooks Online, there is no option to delete invoices in bulk. The only method available is manual deletion. To delete an invoice, here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Sales menu and select Customers.
  3. Locate the specific customer that has a time entry.
  4. From there, click on the dropdown arrow beside Receive Payment and select Delete.

 

 

Meanwhile, if the invoice includes any items besides the time entries, you can open the invoice and delete those time entries.

 

Moreover, when a customer pays an open invoice, you need to record the payment in QuickBooks.

 

Lastly, did you know that we provide a complimentary session with our QuickBooks Live Expert Assisted service?
