Hi, Can do l merge two or more similar account or sub ledgers classified under the chart of account as a single account & deactivate the account ledgers once integrated?

Welcome to the Community, Serah.

Yes, you can definitely merge similar accounts, like Consumables and Medical Supplies, into one. When you merge them, the account you're merging from becomes inactive automatically, so you won't need to deactivate it separately.

First, ensure both accounts have the same Account Type and Detail Type.

Once you've confirmed they're the same type, here's what to do:

1. First, click on the Gear icon (Settings) at the top right of your screen and select Chart of Accounts under the Your Company column.
   
    
2. Next, locate the account you want to merge away, for example, Consumables, and click the dropdown arrow in the Action column, then select Edit.
   
    

   

3. Change the Account name in the drawer to match the destination account.
4. Ensure the Account Type and Detail Type match the account you are merging into, as QuickBooks requires an exact match.
5. Then, click Save at the bottom of the drawer.
6. Finally, when the system asks if you want to merge the two accounts, click Yes to confirm the integration.
   
    

   

QuickBooks consolidates your transaction history into one account, and the old ledger will be inactive.
