Let me help with your question about putting the customer on hold, proper.alexis.

 

You can temporary make the customer inactive in your QBO account. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu and proceed to the Customers tab.
  2. Look for the name of the customer and click on it.
  3. Click the Edit button in the upper-right hand corner.
  4. Select Make inactive.
  5. Click Yes.

 

To make the customer active again, you can go back to the same page and click the Make Active button in the upper-right hand corner. Here's an article about this for more details: Add and Manage Customers in QuickBooks Online.

 

However, there's no option to do the same for invoices. You'll want to delete or void them instead. Check out this article as a guide: Void or Delete Transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to watch this video tutorial just in case you want to do the same for your vendors: How to Manage Your Vendors List.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us again if you have other questions. I'd be glad to jump right back to help you again.
