QuickBooks
Merging Accounts
Over time we realize that some of the accounts in QuickBooks represent the same
category but with a slightly different name, i.e. Office Supplies & Office Supplies Expense. These accounts can be merged together. Caution must be used though as once accounts are merged it is irreversible.
To merge accounts:
Go to Lists
Chart of Accounts
Highlight the account you want to merge into another (delete)
Click Activities
Edit
Change the Account Number/Name to the Number/Name that
You want to keep (QB” will ask, & “Do you want to merge?”
Yes
The activity for both accounts now will be included in the one account.
