How do you enter a Vendor that is also an active Customer and name is identical

We can create the vendor profile with a little alteration in the name, Llstiles11, as QuickBooks Online (QBO) doesn't allow duplicate names in the system. Please follow the instructions below to begin the process:

1. Navigate to the Expenses menu and select Vendor.
2. Click the New Vendor button to initiate the creation of a new vendor.
   
3. In the Name fields, enter a name that is slightly different from the customer's name already in the system. For example, use John J. Doe if the customer's name is John Doe.
4. Complete the remaining required fields in the vendor profile.
5. Select Save to save the new vendor information.

You can view all payments made to your vendors by running the Expenses by Vendor Summary report, which provides insights into managing your business expenses.
