Process of Merging The Vendors in Quickbooks

In case you have the vendors listed in the data file of QuickBooks, then you can merge them to avoid any kind of unnecessary redundancy.

Steps for the same are given below:

1. Go to the left menu of the page and tap on Expense
2. Select the Vendor’s and Suppliers options
3. Verify that the vendors selected by you to merge must have the similar options
4. Tap on the option of Edit and then make necessary changes in the vendor’s name
5. Then click on Save
6. Tap on Yes to give affirmation to your actions

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.
