Is there a way to change a customer to a vendor? Also, when I pull up my contractors, my vendors are there as well. Why is that?

Hi there, @Kim208. Please allow me to share what I know about your concern.

As of the moment, the feature that you want is unavailable in QuickBooks Online. However, there’s a workaround that we can perform to achieve this.

To begin with, here’s how:

1. Locate and then edit the name of the customer that you want to create as vendor.
2. Once done, make it Inactive.
3. Create a Vendor with the correct name.

We are doing this because QBO does not allow you to use duplicate names in creating different Vendor/Customer profiles.

By this time, you’ve already set up your vendor. You might want to give this article a visit, it’s about how to pay a vendor in QuickBooks Online.

When working in QBO, you can always rely on us if you require assistance. Let us know by leaving a comment down below. Keep safe and enjoy your weekend.
