Question

Your company no longer sells floor plans. You want to make the Floor Plan service item inactive in QuickBooks Desktop. Put the steps for making a service item inactive in the correct order.

Answer 1

In QuickBooks Desktop, to make a service item inactive, access the Lists menu, select Item List, right-click the intended service item, choose 'Make Item Inactive,' and confirm the action.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a service item inactive in QuickBooks Desktop, you will need to follow certain steps to ensure the item is correctly removed from your active list. This process helps maintain an organized item list and prevents you from selecting items that are no longer offered when creating transactions.

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop and go to the Lists menu.
2. Select Item List or use the shortcut Ctrl+I to display all items.
3. Locate the Floor Plan service item you wish to make inactive. You can scroll through the list or use the search function.
4. Right-click on the Floor Plan service item.
5. From the drop-down menu, choose Make Item Inactive.
6. QuickBooks will prompt you to confirm the action. Click Yes to make the item inactive.

Once these steps are completed, the Floor Plan service item will no longer appear in the active item list. If you ever need to reactivate it, you can go back to the item list, filter to show all items, including inactive ones, find the Floor Plan service item, and reactivate it by right-clicking and selecting Make Item Active.
