Suppliers in Accounting 2009 not displaying in BCM

[John Franks]

I have a database integration between Office Accounting 2009 Professional and
Outlook Business Contact Manager 2007. When I add a New Customer in
Accounting 2009, as expected it shows up as a contact in BCM which is great.
But when I add a New Supplier in Accounting 2009, it does not show up as a
contact in BCM. Of course I need to keep a communication history with my
suppliers as well as my customers so can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

John,

Sadly, I don't think the integration of BCM and OA2009 extends to this. I
know that the integration allows you to link customers in OA with accounts in
BCM, requiring you to create only one to get the other. I also know that you
can enter billable time from BCM into OA. But I have never seen a vendor
that I entered in OA show up as a contact or business contact in BCM

I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am.

Sorry.

Thanks very much for your reply Bill. I recon this must be the case. I will
highlight this extra flexibility to Microsoft hopefully for inclusion in
future editions.

Regards, John.
