Hi there, lihong. Changing profile types, such as a supplier to an employee, isn’t possible in QuickBooks Online. But I’m here to help you fix this issue as easily as possible.
The simplest way to resolve this is to leave the supplier profile unchanged and create a new employee profile. When adding the employee, you can include a period or a minor variation in the name to avoid duplicates in QBO.
Once the new employee profile is set up, reassign the transactions meant for the employee by editing each one. After the transactions are correctly reassigned, you can mark the supplier profile as inactive to avoid confusion moving forward.
Follow these steps to make the supplier inactive:
- On the Apps menu, select Expense & Bills.
- Click Supplier, then locate the supplier you want to make inactive.
- Under the Actions column, click the dropdown button.
- Click Make inactive.
