You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.

See  What to do when the Mac App Store shows a different Apple ID for software updates https://www.macworld.com/article/3267709/mac-app-store-apple-id.html This document refers to a prior owner, but is also applies to cases where a current owner's old Apple ID is a problem.

 

Basically, If an app is purchased/downloaded using one Apple ID, then you can't update it with another Apple ID. You'll have to delete it and repurchase/download it again with the second Apple ID.
