QBPOSv19: Change vendor name without erasing other data

We recently upgraded to QBPOSv19. When updating the name of an existing vendor in this new version of POS, a search bar pops up for businesses with similar names. When I choose manual entry and ignore the seach, it erases all of the vendor's contact information. I will likely never utilize this search feature - is there a way to disable it, or a workaround change the vendor name without having to re-enter all of their data?

QBPOSv19: Change vendor name without erasing other data

Thanks for updating us here, @WGill.

 

This is an unusual behavior when editing vendors in QuickBooks Point of Sale. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to rule out this problem.

 

For now, let's run the Verify Data utility to help fix program issues causing the program to delete the vendor information. Here's how:

 

 

  1. From the Help menu, select Debug, then Verify Data.
  2. After it completes, check the validation window to verify any issues.
    • If no errors are found and validation is successful: Close the message window. If issue still persists, continue with normal troubleshooting.
    • If an error message is returned: Use the Clean Up Company Data utility.

 

If that doesn't work, I recommend reaching out to our live rep. Click this link to get our contact information: Contact Payments or Point of Sale Support
