Vendor entered as "other" and now I cannot locate vendor to edit account details.

I have searched the Vendor Center for the vendor but it is not on the list.  All of the vendors that I used "other" for instead of vendor are missing.  Where can I find them to edit them?  I tried to delete my transactions and re-add the vendor but I get a message telling me there is already a vendor with that name.

Try the list menu & select other names. You can edit it & make it a vendor.

Usually those vendors do not copy over if you created a QBo file by converting your file from desktop to online. You have to reenter them. There are no other types in QuickBooks online

Is there a vice versa thing to do? I’d like to remove from the vendor but rename them in the “other” category.

I appreciate you joining the thread, @Benaudette123.

 

Yes, you can change the name type from Vendor to Other Names. To do that, you'll have to make the vendor inactive then recreate the vendor under Other Names List. Let me walk you through:

 

To make deactivate vendor:

 

  1. Go to the List menu then select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists.
  2. Locate and click on the vendor.
  3. Click on the Vendor Type drop-down.
  4. Select Make Vendor Type Inactive.

 

Once done, here's how you can recreate them:

 

  1. Go to the List menu then select Other Names List.
  2. Click on the Other Names drop-down then select New.
  3. Fill out all necessary information.
  4. Once completed, click on OK.

 

That should do it!
