Hi,
I currently buy, refurb and sell laptops, tvs and gadgets in general.
Quite often I buy a smashed up laptop from a customer, then I fix it and sell it. At the same time, that customer may buy an already repaired laptop from me.
I'm trying to use the solar accounts quotes and purchase orders to streamline my business practices. I want to create a supplier called customer jones. I buy a laptop from customer jones, so I create a purchase order when I offer them a price then once they accept the price I convert it to an invoice.
2 weeks later Customer Jones buys a new laptop from me, but because they are already in my supplier list I cannot create a new customer. (it says name already exists) I dont really want to add something like (S) and (C) to the end of the name etc so is there a way to allow suppliers and customers to share the same name?
Hi Drew,
The simplest approach is to first create Jones as a customer (not a supplier) then record a credit note to represent any purchases you make from that customer. See 'Option 1' on this page for details:
