Merge duplicate suppliers

Learn how to merge redundant suppliers.

If you’ve made a duplicate supplier by mistake, you can merge them to keep your records organised and avoid mistakes. This moves all the data into the one you want to keep and removes the duplicate.

Important: Merging accounts is permanent and can't be undone later. Only merge duplicates you made by mistake.

1. Go to Expenses and select Suppliers (Take me there).
2. Find and open the supplier profile you want to keep. Then select Edit.
3. Note the Company name and Supplier display name.
4. Go back to the Suppliers (Take me there) tab.
5. Find and open the supplier you don't want to keep. Then select Edit.
6. Change the display name to make it identical to the supplier you're merging it with.
7. Select Save, then Yes.
8. This merges the two supplier profiles so you end up with one. QuickBooks moves past transactions from the duplicate to the supplier you want to keep.
