I'm trying to clean up some accounts. There is a transaction which is under example: Michigan Caterpillar. This transaction has been paid and reconciled. However, this transaction should be under Caterpillar. Michigan Caterpillar and Caterpillar are two different vendors.
What is the best way for me to move it from Michigan Caterpillar to Caterpillar?

Hello there, boxesrus.
The best way for us to correct the transaction from Michigan Caterpillar to Caterpillar is to delete and recreate it.
Since there's a payment associated with the invoice, we'll have to delete both the invoice and payment. We can do it from the customer's account. I'll show you how:
Once done, recreate the invoice for Caterpillar and make a payment with it. Then, you can do a mini reconciliation method to correct your reconciled account. For more details, we can refer to this article: Reconcile previously deleted and re-entered transactions. This provides complete steps and instructions.
Also, we can check these articles for additional information about the reconciliation process in the program:

When I do this under the customer in the transaction list I get this error:
Hi there, @SuperiorGCAZ.
Thanks for joining the thread and sharing the error message. I've got the steps to help you undo and correct this transaction in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
This error usually appears when the transaction you're trying to delete was deposited to Undeposited Funds before it was moved to the correct bank account. To clear this out, you'll have to delete the deposit first from the Make Deposits window.
Let me show you how:
This should now completely delete the payment. Once done, let's proceed to delete the open invoice. Then, recreate the transaction and record the payment to correct customer.
Lastly, perform a mini reconciliation method to fix your reconciled account.
Moreover, you can check out this guide anytime you need help doing or fixing a reconciliation in QuickBooks: How to properly reconcile accounts in QBDT.
