Q: If you pay a vendor by COD and you sync the POS vender purchases into QB’s, what do you do with A/P entries which are already paid.

A: What you need to do is to create a credit for the vendor in accounts payable.  To do that, when you enter the check or credit card charge, use accounts payable in the account field and then put the vendor in the customer/job field.  Since you are using Accounts Payable, vendors will be listed.  This will create the credit that can be applied to the bill.
