Due Date On Purchase Order, Revisited, Again...

Hi there, Mark.

I understand why you want the Purchase Order (PO) due date to appear on the actual print form. Let me share some information about that.

Adding an option to include the PO due date on the printed version can significantly improve your productivity by allowing you to set reminders for important dates related to when you receive goods.

Currently, this feature is not available in QuickBooks Online (QBO). However, you can share your feedback with our Product Engineers, who may consider incorporating this feature in future product updates.

Here’s how you can do that:

1. Click the Gear icon and choose Feedback.
2. Write your comments or suggestions, explaining why the feature matters and how it could help your business.
3. Hit Next to send it in.
   
   

If you have any other questions or concerns about QBO, just let us know. We’re always here to help!

Which is the most ridiculous reply.

1. I've been requesting this through the useless feedback systems for years.

2. One of THE most important items on the final PO form sent to a supply is the delivery date.... 

Yes, I too have been waiting for a due date on the purchase order since being forced to quit Desktop! And now, hurrah, you have added one. Great stuff, BUT it can't be used!! Our lovely customers need to know WHEN they can expect their delivery. It would also be very useful to be able to use it in reports to allow us to see what orders are going in when and chase as necessary. Please please, now that you have added this very useful date, allow us to use it! Thanks

Hello there, Happychat.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I know how useful it would be to display the Due Date on printed Purchase Orders and reports. While this isn’t available yet, there’s an alternative workflow that can help.

You can continue using Custom fields to share delivery dates with your suppliers:

1. Go to Settings.

2. Click on Custom fields.

3. Ensure your custom field for delivery dates is enabled for Purchase Orders. This field will appear on your printed or emailed PO forms.

During this time, you can also use the Due Date field within QuickBooks to prepare for future updates. Enter the date in both your Custom field (for printing) and the Due Date field (for reports when the feature becomes available).

I recommend submitting feedback to our Product Team to prioritize linking the Due Date field to templates and reports. Click the Gear icon, choose Feedback, and share your suggestion.
