Join nowYou're kidding right? I was aware of this ridiculous work around years ago when QB first proposed it. How many years later now and you're offering it again? What you should be working on is the "consider editing the customer's name first before we delete them, because QBO doesn't allow duplicate names" part. I can understand why you can't have two vendors with the same name, or two clients. But to have the same entity as a client AND a vendor is a REALITY which any worthy accounting software should be able to handle. Go back to work QuickBooks and do it right this time!
Hello! Does anyone know how to convert reconciliations from a customer account to a newly created vendor? I have mistakenly been reconciling payments to a customer rather than a vendor....
Thank you for your help!

Will the transactions/payments apply once customer is deleted and re-entered as a vendor?

I can share some information about deleting a customer and re-entering it as a vendor, @Dray0506.
You can delete a customer by making it inactive. After that, all their transactions will still be available on reports. Then, transactions under that inactive customer will display as Name (deleted).
Then, when you create a vendor under the same name, you'll be prompted to use a different name. Check out this article for more information about adding and deleting customers and vendors:
After recreating it as a vendor, here's how you can enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.
Let me know if you need further help to delete a customer and re-enter it as a vendor. I'm always here to help. Have a great rest of the day!
Yes. You can make a Customer version of them and a Vendor version of them. I name them "Company (V)" for vendor and "Company (C)" for customer, for example.
That looks cute when sending an invoice or a refund check made out to Company (V).
What if there is activity on the customer already?
