Accounts Receivable Entry Errors

I'd merge the names together by editing one and renaming it to match the other.

As far as I can find there is only one customer account and name. 

Hi jlangr!

Have you tried checking the list of inactivated customers? If not, change your filter to All Customers and find the other name. If the name has an X mark, click that mark to make its profile active again. Then, you can merge the two customers.

Let me know how it goes. Take care and have a good one!

No, I only have one customer with that.  name, active or inactive.  

Hello there, jlangr.

Names can be combined by editing one and renaming it to match the other. Since you only see one customer, please re-sort the customer list to restore the default order. Then, click the duplicate customer in the A/R report to see if they truly have the same name. 

To re-sort your customer list:

1. Go to the Customer Center tab.
2. At the top left of QuickBooks, click Edit.
3. Select Re-sort List.
4. Click OK.

Fore detailed process, please see this article: Re-sort lists in QuickBooks Desktop.

It's not an issue with duplicate names, which I knew before I asked my initial question.

The unusual behavior might be caused by data damage, 

jlangr.

You can run the verify and rebuild data to ensure your company file is free from any data damage. It helps narrow down the source of this error. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the File menu, then Utilities.
2. Select Verify Data and wait until the diagnosis is done.
3. If you see: "Your data hast lost integrity", proceed to rebuild the company file.
4. Tap the File menu and Utilities again
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to save a backup copy of your company file.
6. Use Rebuild Data and click OK.
