Bills

Thank you for letting us know about your concern, BTHMN.

Changing the vendor name on a bill is good idea to correct the details.

However, if it doesn't work, you can also copy the entries and delete the bill. This way, you can recreate the bill with the correct vendor name.

Here's how:

1. Open the Bill.
2. Click on ✖ Delete or you can press CTRL + D.
3. Click OK to confirm.

Thanks for the reply. I still can't change the vendor without losing the expense entries.  How do I copy them to a new bill for someone else?

Thanks for getting back to us, BTHMN.

I understand that changing the vendor without losing the expense entries would make your work easier. The best thing to do is to delete and recreate another transaction since another vendor cant be transferred to another vendor.
