Any disadvantages of creating a single record for a vendor that is also a customer at the same time?

not sure if i understand your question, but if a company is a vendor and customer at the same time, you can create a vendor from a customer and vice versa

I think his question is whether there is any disadvantages of doing it the way you just suggested, or separate them out. I've asked this question before on here and the general consensus back then is that having them as the same entity has been a bit clunky and and get messy, and probably easier and neat just to separate them out as standalone vendors and customers.

I personally like to keep them together. At the end of they day, its the same company, you are just buying from them or selling to them. There is a reason netsuite has that feature. Just my opinion though

You can create a related vendor record from a customer and vice versa. But You cannot create a "single record" for a vendor who is also the customer.

My opinion is that feature sucks donkey dick and you'll have to twist my arm to convince me to use it

@KevinJ of Kansas lol tell us how you really feel.

I think thats a beautiful feature

It doesn't truly add value. If they figured out a way to have it properly do netting - then all the stuff is worth it.
