Issue with Creating Customer and Supplier with Same Name

Hi,

I need to write an invoice to a supplier in italy and the system will not allow me to create a customer with the same name.

What do you remcomend?

Hello Stephen,

Please see this page for two ways to handle the situation where a customer
is also a supplier:
https://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/forum/topic/700

If you go with Option 2, note that you can use square brackets in Solar
Accounts which will not be shown on the invoice. For example, if you have
John Smith [Customer]
John Smith [Supplier]

Both names will appear as 'John Smith' on documents created by Solar
Accounts.

Hi Mark,

Many thanks, however the square brackets hack doesn't seem to work!

Regards

Hi Stephen,

Hmm that is odd. Can you please send me an invoice with the square brackets
in the customer name?
