Hi Peter When entering Receipt information the Vendor prompt does not always work, this results in duplicate suppliers being created if the Vendor has been spelt differently. 2 suggestions, One: can you improve the Vendor prompt so that any related spellings to existing vendors is shown. Two: Would it be possible to merge to suppliers into one where mistakes have been made. This is especially true where more than one person is entering receipts as different people call the same vendor different things all the time.

Hi Adrian, 
Vendor prompt are you talking about the auto complete?
1: Can you improve the Vendor prompt so that any related spellings to existing vendors is shown?
1A: I suspect from the issue you’re having the user prompt isn’t’ working because the user is miss spelling as opposed to the system being broken. That’s a hard problem to fix systematically.
2: Would it be possible to merge to suppliers into one where mistakes have been made.
2A: Data always gets lost in Merges so we’ve avoided it. The users are always too trigger happy. You can just delete the payment, rename the supplier and then re-add the payment. 
Thanks for the feedback Adrian. Hope the answers make things clearer. I think the easiest option is just to click the bill, delete the payment, edit the supplier and add the payment. 
Thanks

Pete
