Accounts Payable

Many times a company will change their name and you will not remember to make the change to the vendor in the system.  Instead the same vendor will be set up under two different names.  If that happens QuickBooks allows you to merge the two vendor names so that all the transactions are associated with just one name.
To merge two vendor names
1.    Click the Vendor Center.
2.    Click the Vendors tab.
3.    Right-click the vendor name you don't want to use, and then click Edit Vendor.

Setting a Default Expense Account with a Vendor
QuickBooks can pre-fill the expense accounts on payments to vendors, making it quicker and easier to accurately track expenses. For each vendor, you can choose up to three expense accounts that you typically use when you pay that vendor.
When you choose the vendor that you want to pay on the Write Checks, Enter Bills, or Enter Credit Card Charges windows, QuickBooks pre-fills the expense account names on the Expenses tab. You can then enter the amounts to be assigned to each account.
