How to change the account type on a vendor

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, @skspalding.

Let me share with you some insights about changing vendor account type in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

First off, if you mean you want to change the default expense account set up for your vendor, here's how:

1. Go to the Expense menu, and then choose the Vendors tab.
2. Select the vendor you want to change the default expense account.
3. Click the Edit button at the topmost right part.
4. Go to the Default expense account drop-down ▼  and then pick the expense account you wish.
5. Hit Save once finished.
   
   

However, if you mean you wish to change the Accounts Payable account for your vendor, we're unable to do it. QBO automatically generates Accounts Payable (A/P), and this isn't set up per vendor. 

You'll also want to know the different vendor reports in QBO. You can do this by going to the Reports menu. I'll guide you with the steps:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Choose the Standard tab then hover down to the Expenses and vendors section. You'll see various vendor reports you can choose from.

Once you've decided what vendor report you'd like to pull up, you can personalize its info by customizing it in QBO. This way, you're able to get the formats and details you want. Please refer to this handy article to learn more on how to do the trick: How to customize my vendor reports in QBO?.
