Good Day, Many businesses have customers that are also suppliers. During creating a customer if a feature would allow copying the same to suppliers. It would save time duplicating the entries. I understand not all business require the same. But an option such as Copy to Supplier when creating a customer. May be helpful. ---

If you had this feature, it should work both ways. So a supplier could also be copied to a customer. In both cases, if the relevant tab were not already enabled, it would need to be. ---

hi @Tut, is it possible some times one have to purchase and sale both to the same party it will help to manage the party Ledger Easily rather separate entries for both as one for supplier and other for customer and then manually matching both receiving and paying separately. ---
