Concurrent Roles
The vendor and customer roles are defined differently in QuickBooks. Customers are linked with the accounts receivable and sales receipts whereas vendors are linked with the purchase made by you and the accounts payable. In case the company and customers are with another vendor and customer than two accounts should be maintained by you, one as the customer and the other one as a vendor.
It has to be done because vendor and customer can’t have the same names exactly. Customer records cannot be combined with the vendor record or you cannot convert the vendor record to the customer record or the customer record to the vendor record.
Issues and Questions that Customers Face
For example, you are willing to merge the two customers along with moving their estimates and history. Now what you want to know is how this is done.
