An employee imported the same data twice for my expenses. How do I mass delete it. When I select all, I don't get the option to void transactions.

You’ve finally visited us, @preye-davis-ctls. I’ve come to show the way how to remove duplicate expenses in QuickBooks Online (QBO).


To make sure my recommendation is the most accurate resolution, can you confirm where your employee imported those transactions in QBO? Is it through the Banking page or the Bank Data feature? If not, did they use another application to perform the task?


If it's through the Banking page or the Bank Data feature, you can simply exclude and then delete them in the For review tab. I’m glad to show you the steps:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to your Banking menu and then tap Banking.
  3. Select the account.
  4. In the All dates dropdown, select the date period. You can also use the available filters to narrow down the result.
  5. Press Apply after.
  6. Select the box beside the Date, then choose Exclude.
  7. Click the Excluded tab.
  8. Select the box beside the Date.
  9. Hit the Delete button.


On the other hand, if your employee utilizes a third-party app to get those transactions straight on your expense list, you’ll need to get a tool to delete them in bulk. Since the option to do it within the program is unavailable. You can visit your Apps menu to find one. Here’s how:

 

  1. Select Apps from your left pane.
  2. Go to the Find apps tab.
  3. Enter “Bulk Deleter” in the Search field, then choose an application.
  4. Click Get app now once decided.


Please know that the option to void transactions in the Expenses menu is available. However, it only zeroed out the amount. You still have a record of the events, but they won’t affect your account balances or reports.


These resources will give you more details on how to manage your business expenses through proper bookkeeping practices:
