Question

The company that just hired you uses QuickBooks online. You notice there are many duplicate entries on lists, such as the same customer or account entered twice with slightly different spellings. You've decided to merge the duplicates. Which three statements are true about merging list entries? Choose three

a) Merging list entries is a reversible process.
b) You can merge duplicate customers, vendors, and accounts.
c) Merging preserves the transaction history of both entries.
d) You can only merge list entries of the same type (e.g., customers with customers).

Answer 1

Merging list entries in QuickBooks online involves combining duplicated entries into one while preserving transaction history, and is limited to entries of the same type.

Step-by-step explanation:

Merging list entries in QuickBooks online has three true statements:

1. You can merge duplicate customers, vendors, and accounts. This means that if you have multiple entries for the same customer, vendor, or account, you can combine them into a single entry to avoid confusion and duplication.
2. Merging preserves the transaction history of both entries. When you merge two list entries, QuickBooks online will combine their transaction history, ensuring that you have a complete record of all the relevant transactions.
3. You can only merge list entries of the same type. For example, you can merge customers with customers, vendors with vendors, and accounts with accounts. You cannot merge a customer with a vendor or an account.
