This happens when the customer isn't set up as a supplier in QuickBooks Online (QBO). In this case, you need to add it as a supplier, however, enter a special character or distinctions that the name you'r adding is a supplier since QuickBooks won't allow adding customers, suppliers, or employees with the same name.

Wow thanks for this, I'm surprised in 2023 QBO can't work out how to apply more than one role to an entity and we have to use 80s-esque hacks to do it!
