I can tell you that QBO does not listen to their base. For an engineering company that has multiple pieces and model numbers changing ever so slightly, it's a never ending nightmare.  QBO engineers only for their own profitable desires to figure out how to charge more. Just like ACH payments. ACH doesn't cost them a dime. Yet they burn their base for it starting back in April of 21.

This request to delete removed or redundant inventory items has been out there for over a decade and they simply state no. If they had one decent programming engineer they could easily resolve this dilemma. They give no reason for the inability to delete items that are no longer in existence or repetitive. However, if you could show how they could make a dime out of it they would complete the task tomorrow. Maybe its time to look for accounting systems that are inventory friendly.
