How to create a goods receive notes ?

It's great to see you here, @sleepcarefinance.

 

Let me share some insights about creating goods receive notes and guide you in recording supplier transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) accordingly.

 

For the time being, the option to create goods receive notes is unavailable in QBO. However, the system follows the appropriate pattern in recording your supplier transaction.

 

If your customer will only receive or accept the quantity (150) that was sent by the factory, you can manually update or correct your purchase order before converting it to an expense transaction. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu.
  2. Select the Expenses tab.
  3. Locate the Purchase Order transaction and select the View/Edit option under the Action column.
  4. On the Purchase Order transaction, go to the Item details section and update the QTY to 150.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

Once you're done, add or convert the purchase order to an expense, bill, or cheque. Then, create an invoice to bill your customer and record their payment for the goods they've received.

 

If you want to record the quantity received by your customer as part of your purchase order, you can add just those parts to a bill or expense. This links multiple transactions to the same purchase order. Here's how:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select ExpenseCheque, or Bill
  3. From the Payee ▼ dropdown, select the supplier. This opens a window with their open purchase orders.
  4. Select Add for the correct purchase order. This adds the items from the purchase order. They appear in the Item details section.
  5. Adjust the quantity or amount for each line item to reflect the portion you received or plan to pay.
  6. Select Save and close.

 

Then, create an invoice to bill your customer and record their payment. QuickBooks automatically closes your purchase order when all quantities are added to bills, expenses, or cheques.

Also, there are a variety of reports that'll help you monitor your purchase orders and see your best sellers, what's on hand, and the cost of your goods in QBO. You may want to check out these articles as your reference to guide you in accessing the report you need:
