Match string value to lookup and populate lookup field or something similar

I have a solution that does appointment scheduling. 

 

I have a lookup field that shows a list of suppliers to select to associate with the appointment. 

 

The current requirement however is they want to not show the list of suppliers. The ask is to have a string field for free form typing that matches back to the lookup and populates the lookup field. 

It can't just be a string field because we need consistency with reporting and people may abbreviate or mistype. 

 

 

How can I provide the user the desired supplier without rendering the supplier list?

 

Any suggests on a possible solution?
