When adding transactions which are directly imported from the bank, the name of some customers appears in the "bank detail" box but when you click in to the transaction, to add info, it doesn't appear in the "Supplier/Customer" box. When you try to add the name anew, it says that the customer already exists - which it does, and is active - but it won't poplulate the box.
What is the problem, and how do I solve it?

From there, locate your Supplier/Customer name and verify if they're active. If yes, I recommend opening your QBO account in a private window. Then, see if their names now show on the Supplier/Customer drop-down list on your transaction details page.
