Ability to change vendor names

Please add the ability to update vendor names. I have a situation where a vendor was created based on their individual name but they need their checks made out to their business name. The AI help bot has been extremely unhelpful and has given me conflicting guidance. The latest is that I now need to create a new account for their business in order for the checks to be made out to the correct name. With multiple invoices in play that have already synced to our accounting software - this is a burdensome use of time.

They did add the ability to set a pay-to name that’s different from the vendor name, though the option’s not intuitive to find. Go to the vendor details, click “Edit vendor”, select “Payment & tax details”, then click the mailing address. Under “Recipient” it will say “Pay to*” and that’s where you can set the pay-to name separately. This will also be used as the addressee line for the mailing address. I know about this one because our company was pushing to get it added - we frequently have vendors with different pay-to names than the name that appears at the top of the invoices.

Being able to change the vendor’s name in the system after the vendor’s been set up is a separate thing that I think they should also add, but the solution above addresses your immediate problem, at least.
