finding vendor in QB Business network

Good evening, @ELTTreasurer. 

Welcome to the Community!

You can find a vendor by doing the following instructions below: 

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Do one of the following:
   • For vendors: Go to Expenses, then Vendors (Take me there).
   • For customers: Go to Sales, then Customers (Take me there).
3. Then there should be a QB Business Network icon on their profile. 

Review this guide to learn more about the QB Business Network feature. 

Feel free to come back if you have any other questions. Take care! 

Thank you, that is how I expected it would work. It seems however that some setting or such is preventing me from participating in the business network. The problem has been reported to Intuit and I am still waiting on a resolution.
