Once your data is converted, a list of unused payee names in an account you designated as an A/R account appears. This list may contain names of customers, vendors, and employees as well as descriptions such as "Deposit, " "Transfer, " and "Interest." You can change the names on the list to Customers, Vendors, or Employees. If you don't change them right away, they remain on your Other Names list. You can do it at a later time.

Guide in deciding whether or not to change a name type:

Type of name	Use for
Customer	Person or company to which you send estimates, invoices, or statements
Vendor	Person or company to which you provide 1099 forms, send purchase orders or from which you receive bills
Clear the tape
Employee	Person for whom you provide W-2 forms and report as being on your payroll
Other Name	Owners, partners, or miscellaneous payees on checks or credit card charges

Changing the name type for several names on your Other Names list:

In the Change Name Types window, choose the column for each name you want to move to another list. For instance:

• To move names to the Vendor list, click Vendor.
• To put them back to the Other Name column, click Revert.
  Note: Once you change the name type, you can't undo the action; what you can only change is the Other Name type. You can move a name from the Other Names list to the Vendor, Customer: Job or Employee list. However, you can't move a vendor, customer, or employee to any other list.
  If you are unsure whether to change a name right away, it's best to leave it as is. You have the option to do it later.

When the columns are marked correctly, click OK.

If you have multiple versions of the same name:

If there are different versions of the same name (for example: Mike Rhymes, Michael Rhymes, or Michael P. Rhymes), QuickBooks Desktop will put each version of the name on the Other Names list.
