Hi @rightchoiceconst,
Currently, QuickBooks doesn't have an option to change a name, like from a sub-contractor to a vendor. But I've got a workaround for you.
If your sub-contractor doesn't have any transactions yet, you can consider deleting and creating it as vendor.
Here's how to delete a sub-contractor:
- Go to Workers, then Contractors.
- Select the name of the subcontractor.
- Under the Name drop-down menu, choose Mark as inactive.
However, if has transactions already, you'll have to inactive it, then create a new as a vendor with a slightly different name. For example:
- David E. Brown
- David Brown
Please follow the same steps above in inactivating your sub contractor.
