Can I change an individual's status from supplier to staff?

Allow me to share some info about changing a supplier to staff in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @mbifinance.

Currently, the option to directly change a supplier to staff is unavailable in QBO. You have to re-enter them with a slightly different name to avoid confusion when viewing the data. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Employees menu and select Add an employee.
2. Enter the employee's information into the fields in the Employee Information dialog.
3. Once done, click Save.

You may open this article for further guidance: Add, edit, or inactivate an employee.
