Hi there, chcinc,

Thanks for getting back to the thread and sharing additional information about the issue. I can add a bit more about entering bills with A/P account choices.

BRC is correct. QuickBooks will add the A/P Account drop-down if you have multiple Accounts Payable accounts. Making the A/P item inactive does not remove this option, you'll need to retain only one A/P account and delete the others.

However, if you can no longer delete them, you can make them inactive and just use one A/P account. This way, you'll no longer need to click the drop-down and select which A/P account to use.

Also, if you're still seeing the old inactive items, you can refresh QuickBooks by clicking the Window menu and selecting Close All. You can also close and re-open the company file to apply the changes.

That should do it, chcinc. Please let me know if you have any questions with QuickBooks. I'm here to help you anytime. Have a great day!
