Changing contacts to suppliers

Accountants Enterprise only

Once contacts start to provide you with goods and services, they cannot remain as a contact in the database. They must be changed to a supplier so that the work they do for you can be tracked and charged.

To change a contact into a supplier

1. Find and open the contact.


See Finding and opening a contact.

2. Click Convert to supplier on the Tasks bar.


The Convert contact to supplier window opens.

3. Enter a supplier code for the contact.


The code must be a unique entry in the database or an error message is displayed.

4. Click OK. 


The Convert contact to supplier window closes. The contact is changed to a supplier. A Supplier page displays the contact as a client.

5. Complete the information in each tab for the new supplier as required.
