How do I change a customer to a supplier? I set up incorrectly.

Hi there, 

Mistakes like these are common, but don't worry, I'll be glad to give you a hand so you can continue to do the things you love with peace of mind. QuickBooks offers an easy-to-navigate platform that simplifies the way you manage your accounting. 

Since the Supplier and Customer operate on 2 different modules within QuickBooks, you'll have to manually add the supplier. The following article shows how to: Add a supplier in QuickBooks Online. I encourage you to browse through the article and feel free to ask other questions. Otherwise, if you'd like to remove a customer, you can make them inactive which hides them from lists and menus. Even if a customer is inactive, all their transactions will still be available on reports.

 If you delete a parent customer, you also delete their sub-customers. But, if there is a project attached to the customer, they can't be made inactive. To make the customer inactive, delete any projects attached to the customer.

1. Go to Get paid & pay and select.
2. Select the customer's name to open their profile.
3. Select the dropdown ▼ next to Edit.
4. Select Make inactive and Yes, make inactive to confirm.

Note: If you see a transaction for an inactive customer, it displays as "Name (deleted)."

Give this a try and let me know if the info helps. I'll be one message away in case you have other questions.
