If you have been using QuickBooks for quite some time now and have been handling online banking from a QuickBooks Desktop application, you must be aware of the fact that you need to merge your vendors at a point in time.

This is because, when you merge multiple vendors in QuickBooks Desktop, you prevent duplicate entries in your vendors’ list.

However, in order to merge vendors in QuickBooks Desktop, there are certain aspects you need to take into consideration, some of which are mentioned below:

  • Taking a completely secure backup of QuickBooks file is one the most crucial points to take care, in order to prevent any form of data loss.
  • Always ensure that you never turn on the Multi-currency feature.
  • One of the crucial things to consider is that the merging process is irreversible and permanent. Hence, it is highly recommended to double-check before the vendor accounts are merged to prevent merging any other account that was not required to be merged.
  • Make sure that you are in a single-user mode and not in multi-user mode. In case you are using the multi-user mode, just change into single-user mode immediately.
  • The user is also needed to make sure that he/she is not merging vendors who have paid through online banking, tax authorities, or direct deposit vendors.
  • If you require undoing any merge, restore the backup of the particular data file.
