Question

Delete multiple unbilled time charges (unbilled timesheet entries)

We are trying to delete years of unbilled time sheet entries.  We recently converted from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.  I am trying to close a bunch of old jobs and clients but I can't because a lot of these jobs have unbilled time.  I know I can use a feature to delete multiple unbilled charges at one time, but I am hoping that I would be able to delete multiple unbilled time charges (time sheet entries) at one time.

 

Please let me know if this is something that can be done.  Thanks!

    Hi there, Robin the Bookkeeper.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to reached out to us. Allow me to address your concern, so let me get this straightened out.

     

    Currently, QuickBooks Online (QBO) doesn't have an option to delete multiple unbilled time charges at one time. I can see how this feature would be helpful for you in order to delete the unbilled time charges conveniently. You may want to submit this idea to our product developers so they'll be able to include this in their next product update.

     

    Here's how you can send feedback: 

    1. Click the Gear Icon.

    3. Click Next and choose Feedback under Category option.

      Yes!

       

      This is such a headache- especially since 15 years of past employees have now been reactivated with "unbilled time"

        Hi there, @forge.

         

        I appreciate you joining this conversation and providing some feedback about deleting multiple unbilled time charges in QuickBooks Online.

         

        As mentioned by my peers, the option to delete multiple unbilled time charges is unavailable. You will have to go through each transaction and click the Delete button.

         

        Rest assured we'll take note of this for you and submit it to the engineers for consideration.

         

        Keep me posted if you have other questions about QuickBooks. I'm always here to lend you my helping hands.

          Hello,

            As a workaround, you can delete TimeActivities with Business Importer. It has free trial and will help to solve your issue fast and smoothly.

          I appreciate you checking for updates, mbechtel.

           

          As of this writing, there is still no option to batch delete unbilled charges in QuickBooks Online (QBO). You'll need to do it one at a time.

           

          If you need a list of unbilled charges, you can run the Unbilled Charges report.

           

          To do that:

           

          1. On the left panel, click Reports.
          2. Type Unbilled Charges in the search box.
          3. Click the Billable Expense Charge to open.
          4. Click the Bill link above the Date.

          I know how this option provides more convenience to you and other users. While this option is currently not available, I recommend visiting our QuickBooks Blog page. From there, you'll learn more about the latest news and updates in QBO.

           

          Please keep an eye out for new updates. If you have other questions, just let me know. Thanks for your time and have a good day.

          Are there any updates regarding this topic?  Also, I have tried to go in & delete the time entries individually & I receive an error message (see attached).  I have tried going incognito & I have also cleared my cache & I still receive the same message.  Help!

          Whenever I click on the unbilled time it takes me to the Time Activity page to add time. I have no option to delete any of the time charges from years and years ago. This is ridiculous! 4 years later and they haven't solved the issue.
