Firm

. This vendor helps create liabilities for the client based on billing items.

Limitations of firm vendors

You can't delete or make the firm vendor inactive.

You can't change its vendor type.

The firm vendor can't receive 1099 forms.

If your firm needs to receive 1099 forms from a client:

Set up a separate vendor record for this purpose.

Consider adding FirmBilling
or BillingOnly
to the new vendor ID for clarity.

This approach lets you have both the automatic firm vendor for billing, and a separate vendor that can receive 1099 forms when necessary.
