Adding Subcontractor as a Supplier

I am new to Quickbooks and I am trying to add a clients subcontractor, in the supplier section under expenses.  Every video I watch shows when adding a new supplier, there is a box to tick that says "is a subcontractor".  This will then reveal the section to fill in their CIS information, however I don't have this box.  Any ideas why?

 

I have enabled CIS in settings, but not added the CIS info as the client operates as a company.

Adding Subcontractor as a Supplier

Welcome to QuickBooks, CDVS. I see this is your first post, and I want to say we’re thrilled to have you here. Getting started with something new can be a bit challenging, but you’re doing a great job so far. Let’s dive into some browser troubleshooting to make sure subcontractors are added seamlessly.

 

It's correct that subcontractors are added as suppliers, in which you'll then tick the "This supplier is a CIS subcontractor" box to enter their CIS details. This box is located under the Additional info section, as shown below:

 

Since this option isn’t visible on your end despite enabling CIS, let's consider clearing your browser’s cache. Corrupted data causes unexpected behaviors, including missing features and errors.

 

If the issue persists, you can access your company using a different supported and updated browser to bypass browser-specific problems and ensure everything works as intended.
