Mileage Editing in QB Desktop Pro

Hello, I've looked everywhere I can think to look within the QB Desktop Pro 2020 program and can't find any way to delete, edit, change an entered mileage for a vehicle.  I can't even locate a place where it lists all the entered mileage trips after they have been entered.

 

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to delete/change/edit mileage once its entered into Desktop Pro?  It seems extremely short sighted to include an option to enter mileage where specific dates and trips are entered, but then for there not to be any way to view or edit the individual trips.

Thanks for posting, @DrTorque.

 

I'll share the steps on how you can edit your mileage trips in QuickBooks Desktop. Let's go to your Mileage page to see it.

 

  1. Go to Company.
  2. Choose Enter Vehicle Mileage.
  3. Select the Previous arrow to edit the previously entered mileage.

 

 

 

If you want to delete it, you'll have to delete the vehicle from the Vehicle List. Just click on the Vehicle List icon at the top of the page.

 

 

 

On the same window, you can also access the Mileage Rates, and Mileage Reports.

 

Additionally, you can access mileage reports from the Reports, and then Jobs Time and Mileage.

 

 

 

For more information, check out this guide: Track job costs in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm also attaching this link to help you manage customer-related tasks. It has topics with articles that'll guide you along: Topics about your company's income and customers.

 

You can always reach out to me again through this thread if you have other mileage questions. I'm more than happy to answer them for you. Take care and keep safe.

How do I delete mileages already recorded by mistake? I do not want to delete vehicles. I do not need to record new mileage anymore. I know how to edit but there is no delete function for recorded mileage. Thanks

Good to see you on this thread, @Shawn011.

 

Let me walk you through deleting unnecessary mileages in QuickBooks Desktop. When you enter mileage directly into program, it is instantly authorized. You are unable to change a trip once it has been added to the Approved list. We can only erase and recreate it.

 

Here's how to delete:

 

  1. Go to Company menu.
  2. Choose Enter Vehicle Mileage.
  3. Select the Previous arrow at the top to open the previously entered mileage.
  4. Press Ctrl + D in your keyboard to delete the mileage entry.
  5. Hit Yes to confirm.

 

You'll want to check this article for more info: Set up mileage tracking in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Additionally, I'm sharing this link with you. It contains topics that will guide you along with customer-related tasks: Topics about your company's income and customers.

 

If you have any further mileage questions, feel free to return to this thread. I'd be delighted to answer them for you. Take care and happy holidays!
