FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Why is my vendor information reverting back, after I have changed it?

    1. If you change the vendor information (ie. a rep email) in DesignerLink 2.0, please make sure to let your Account Manager know, so they can update the record in QuickBooks. Once they match, the changes won't occur any longer

  2. Why is there an error when I make a vendor that says "This field contains some invalid characters"?

    1. For bookkeeping purposes, QuickBooks has a list of valid characters you can use for the name of the vendor.

  3. Can I transfer our vendor information from another service?

    1. Please contact our team about transferring your vendor data into DesignerLink 2.0.

  4. Can I add a specific order method for vendors?

    1. Yes! When creating or editing a vendor, go to the Terms and Notes page to select an order method: Online, Email, or Phone.


And that is how you can create a Vendor. For further information please make sure to reach out to our help desk via the chat icon in the bottom right corner of your Designer Link 2.0 browser, or you can always email us directly at [email protected].
