The following is an example of update Vendor. The QuickBooks customer Id (id) is required to update the Vendor (See [Vendor](docId\:z5FQtVGTHWYGqeejRq2mi) for the available fields).

:::hint{type="info"}
Note:  You can only update one record at a time.

- When you want to update specific fields of an entity without affecting others, use a sparse update operation by setting sparse= 'true' in your request. This approach is more efficient and less prone to unintended changes than a full update.

```apex
//  Create a Map to store all the data of a Vendor
Map<String, Object> vendorMap = new Map<String, Object>(); 
    vendorMap.put('DisplayName','Lap Care Match');
	vendorMap.put('Id','101');
	vendorMap.put('SyncToken','0');
        
//  Initializing the RequestJSON Data to be passed.
Map<String, Object> requestJSONMap = new Map<String, Object>();
    requestJSONMap.put('vendors', new List<Object>{vendorMap});
    String reqJSON = JSON.serialize(requestJSONMap);

Map<String, Object> reqObj = new Map<String, Object>();
    reqObj.put('version', '1.0');
    reqObj.put('action', 'updateVendor');
    reqObj.put('requestJSON', reqJSON);
    //Required, if QuickBooks Multi-Org is enabled in Breadwinner.

Map<String, Object> respMap = breadwinner_qbo.BreadwinnerQBAPI.call(reqObj);
System.debug(respMap);
