They aren't allowed to have the exact same name. One of them may have a space at the end or be slightly different than the other one (a zero instead of the letter O or something similar).   Renaming one of them to match the other should cause the merge to occur.  

 

If all else fails try File->Utilities->Rebuild.  I know it looks for duplicate names.

Hello there, Bookkeepererin.

 

It's my pleasure to help you merge two customer jobs in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. I'll walk you through the whole steps below.

 

Here's how to edit a job:

  1. Go to Lists.
  2. Click Customer:Jobs.
  3. Select the customer you’re doing the job for.
  4. Click the Job Info tab.
  5. Enter the information about the job and click OK.

Here's a great resource that you can check on for more detailed steps (scroll down to page 80): Users Guide for QuickBooks for Mac.

 

This should help you merge the two duplicate Customer: Jobs in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

Let me know if you have additional questions about this. I'm always around in the Community to help you out.

That didn't seem to work.  I still have two jobs for the same customer, and both jobs have the exact same name.
