Which is true about a customer appearing on other lists by display name?

• A. The customer cannot be on the employees or vendors lists.
• B. The customer can be on the employees or vendors lists.
• C. The customer will be merged with vendor records.
• D. The customer will be flagged for review.

Answer: (A)

In QuickBooks, lists are separate by type—customers, vendors, and employees—each with its own data. A display name is just a label used in forms and reports, not a cross-list identity. Because of that separation, a customer won’t be automatically placed on the employees or vendors lists merely because they share a display name. This helps keep transactions and reports clearly attributed to the correct list type. If you truly need the same person to appear in multiple lists, you’d handle that by creating the appropriate records in each list or linking them deliberately, rather than relying on the display name to move records between lists.
